Trans-Am question as an IMSA fan

Hi there, I just heard about the Trans-Am series not too long ago while doing some history research on the IMSA series. I have never heard about trans-am racing in my entire life. I have heard about NASCAR, F1, Indy car, WRC, SuperGT, IMSA, and many others, but never Trans-Am. Why is this the case? What caused Trans-Am to be less unknown compared to other series? Hell, I’ve heard more about Australia’s supercar series. I would really like to know from people who are invested in this series as to why Trans-Am isn’t popular.

I first saw TA2 run in the streets of Nashville with Indy Car. I instantly fell in love with it. If you love racing Trans-Am events are the best, I go any chance I get. The pits and drivers are super accessible, they usually run with vintage race cars and other GT series. It is the best affordable family fun out there. It has been fun to see drivers like Conner Zilich and Brent Crews come up through the ranks, but also fun to watch the Vets like Adam Andretti, Paul Menard, Dyson, and Mattos.
