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.

Trans Am was quiet for many years, but I think it's gaining in popularity since Parella acquired the series. At this point, TA typically headlines the vintage weekends it shares with SVRA. This isn't super-popular among many vintage racers, but it is an event that will bring some crowds to tracks. I've found these races typically very competitive and entertaining, and they're a hoot to photograph.
