Image
Mazda has announced an extension of its sanctioning agreement with INDYCAR. The Global Mazda MX-5 Cup cars will continue to support the NTT IndyCar Series on six weekends throughout the year.
The Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich will also continue to be operated and promoted by Andersen Promotions, continuing a relationship that began with the 2016 Global MX-5 Cup season.
“Everyone at Mazda is thrilled to see the Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup continue on the NTT IndyCar Series race weekends,” Mazda Motorsports Director John Doonan said. “It is, in my opinion, some of the best racing in the world, with a fantastic group of racers and team owners who have created careers and businesses based on racing Mazda products. Part of the reason for that is the value for them in competing during the INDYCAR weekends.”
The Global Mazda MX-5 Cup series races are streamed live on MazdaMotorsports.com and available for replay on the Mazda USA YouTube Channel. For the 2019 season, Global MX-5 Cup racers are competing for $375,000 in scholarship and prize money from Mazda.
The Global MX-5 Cup has two races left on its 2019 calendar, August 30–September 1 at Portland International Raceway, and September 20–21 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
