After a nine-week hiatus from the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires series, rookie Max Opalski is anxious to get back on track. Ready to join Copeland Motorsports this weekend at the famed Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, Opalski is fresh off a test event at the Ohio facility in his Mazda as well as a podium result in the World Racing League.

With four races in the books in the 2022 Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires, Hixon Motor Sports (HMS) is adding Ethan Tyler for the remainder of the season. As a former karting champion and multi-time Spec Miata winner, Tyler brings added depth to the already stacked HMS program and will begin his quest for race wins and podium results this weekend at the famed Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

It’s been a long wait for the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires to return to the track, but it will be well worth it. The twists and turns of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course create the perfect setting for more nose-to-tail, door-to-door racing that the series has become known for.
