McCumbee McAleer Racing (MMR) is excited to announce the addition of 16-year-old Nashville, Tennessee native Seth Tozer to its Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin driver lineup. Seth will make his highly anticipated professional series debut next weekend, August 21-23, at VIRginia International Raceway (VIR).

Ethan Lampe (No. 31 Hendricks Motorsports) had something to prove Sunday at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP). The rookie thought he’d won his first Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin race on Saturday, only to have it taken away in post-race technical inspection. He gave it another try from fifth on the grid and charged to the race win and redemption.

Bobby Gossett (No. 44 BSI Racing) might have thought lady luck was not on his side at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park on Saturday when his provisional pole time was disallowed, but she made herself known in the race. A well-timed yellow, accident avoidance and a post-race technical infraction resulted in him taking his second Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin win of the season.

Rounds Seven and Eight of the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin are headed north of the border to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP). The championship remains tight without a clear title favorite as the series arrives at its halfway point.
