NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.

Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that – it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.

The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.

In partnership with SRT Motorsports, Miller Racing will continue its assault on the TA2 class, carrying over Lawrence's points in the drivers' standings and putting the Challenger back on the track.

I miss the old nascar trans am series with the f-bodies

IROC series was nuts. Drivers gave no fucks because it wasn't a points race and it wasn't their car. The IROC race was set up by an independent organization that supplied the cars and mechanics. Even when they were racing in the mid 2000s I think they were still using the WS6 bodies.
