Justin Marks is on one incredible roll.

Six days after his Trackhouse Racing team won the NASCAR Cup Series Grant Park 220 with New Zealander Shane van Gisbergen doing the honors, the NASCAR team co-owner won his own race.

This time, it was Marks leading the field to the checkered flag in his No. 99 Chevrolet Camaro to win the Trans Am Series Denny Lamers Tribute 100 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisc., on Saturday. Marks, who started on the pole for the fourth time this season, withstood challenges from road racing veterans Chris Dyson and Boris Said to notch his second win of the Trans Am season.

Two-time defending TA class champion Dyson finished second in a Ford Mustang, followed by Said (Dodge Challenger), Amy Ruman (Chevrolet Corvette) and Tomy Drissi (Ford Mustang).

The win, coupled with back-to-back wins in the NASCAR Cup Series for his Trackhouse Racing team the last two times out, gave Marks his third consecutive victory party.

“My car was really, really good today; big thanks to all of my guys,” said Marks. “This is an awesome racetrack. I love coming to this side of the country and seeing all the fans here. I’ve gotten to race here in IMSA, World Challenge and Xfinity, and I’ve always wanted to win here, so I’m really excited that it happened today.

"That’s three wins in a row for this Trackhouse brand and hopefully we can keep doing it tomorrow in Atlanta. It was really nice to race against both of these guys; we can race hard, and we can all race clean. Overall, it was just a good day for us.”

Trackhouse will try to make it three in a row on the Cup side on Sunday at Atlanta, where Trackhouse drivers Ross Chastain will start 15th and Daniel Suarez 26th.
