The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin never ceases to surprise. Now at the halfway point of the season, the series has yet to have a repeat race winner and the championship point leader has changed with each round. Rounds Seven and Eight at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course could disrupt these trends and put the spotlight on a 2024 championship favorite.

BSI Racing is set to bring six drivers to Mid-Ohio for Rounds 7 & 8 of the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin.

A question many Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin fans have asked lately is: ‘where’s Selin Rollan?’ The front-running series veteran was missing from Rounds Five and Six at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and isn’t on the entry list for Mid-Ohio.

A mistake in the final corner of Saturday’s Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin race cost Aaron Jeansonne (No. 24 JTR Motorsports Engineering) a hometown victory.
