Gentilozzi's role in Trans Am is kind of a "catch" of the thing. Panoz and Sanchez acquired the marketing rights to the Trans Am Series from SCCA. Eventually, Sanchez was out of it, then Panoz reportedly gave Gentilozzi some money to run the series and TAKE the marketing rights off his hands. Don't know quite how it works but he's kind of in an Andy Evans/IMSA situation there, as he would be as an owner of CART if the buyout goes through.
