JADE AVEDISIAN Runs Strong in Trans Am Debut, Finishes Fifth at Portland

July 27, 2025

• JADE AVEDISIAN made an impressive Trans Am Series debut at Portland International Raceway, running in second place for the majority of the 100-mile TA2 race before finishing fifth. The rookie showed serious pace in her No. 10 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry, proving she belonged among the series veterans until a late-race pit stop for debris on her grille cost her a potential podium finish.
• While the men dominated the headlines with Brody Goble taking his third win of the season and Ken Sutherland claiming TA Cup victory, AVEDISIAN’s performance was the real story of substance. Running second for most of the race in her very first Trans Am start shows the kind of talent that deserves more attention than a brief mention buried in the results summary.
• The clean green-flag racing from start to finish allowed driver skill to shine, and AVEDISIAN proved she has what it takes to compete at this level. Her recovery drive to fifth after the late pit stop demonstrated both speed and racecraft that suggests we’ll be seeing much more from her as the season progresses.
