A Camaro is on display in the paddock dressed in a #97 Weathertech livery identical to what van Gisbergen has run in the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity series at times this year.<\/p>\n

It is there thanks to a new sponsorship deal between US-founded floor mat and accessories company and the National Trans Am Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheres no doubt that WeatherTech being a proud American company and Trans Am cars being built in America with American products, is a match made in heaven,\u201d said Trans Am category manager Matt MacKelden.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving one of our cars on display at the Adelaide Grand Final this weekend in what has now become a famous livery is both an exciting and proud day for the Trans Am category and we can\u2019t thank [Weathertech Australia GM] Matthew [Kay] and WeatherTech enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the entire field is focussed on putting together a great show for the Adelaide fans and its exciting our Championship has come down the final round with a South Australian driver fighting for the title in Todd Hazelwood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kay added: \u201cAs WeatherTech Australia we\u2019re proud to stand alongside Trans Am and Supercars in supporting Australian Motorsport.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a natural extension of the strong involvement WeatherTech has in major international motorsport categories, and the synergy is fantastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we\u2019re committed to strengthening the sport, backing its categories and helping grow the future of racing in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trans Am hits the track in Adelaide tomorrow with Practice 1 at 8am local time.<\/p>\n
