The arrival of Hurricane Nicole in Florida forced the rescheduling of Mazda Motorsport’s annual MX-5 Cup Shootout which was due to take place at Sebring International Raceway this week. Officials have announced the Shootout will now take place November 27 – 28 at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina.
“We are pleased to have come up with a solution this quickly,” Mazda Motorsports Program Manager Jonathan Applegate said. “A big thank you to Flis Performance, BFGoodrich® Tires, Andersen Promotions and everyone involved with the Shootout for adapting to the situation and making sure we give the finalists the opportunity they’ve earned. Carolina Motorsports Park is a facility a lot of us are familiar with, which will be an asset it when comes to planning and executing this revised Shootout.”
Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) is a 14-turn, 2.279-mile road course location approximately 70 miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina.
