Though he may have started and finished at the front of the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® field, Selin Rollan’s (No. 87 Hixon Motor Sports) path to victory on Friday at Road America was anything but easy. Rollan scored his fourth win of the season ahead of Gresham Wagner (No. 5 Spark Performance) and Sam Paley (No. 28 McCumbee McAleer Racing) whose intense late-race battle for the final podium spots gave Rollan the room he needed to claim victory in the first half of the Alana Long 100 weekend.

After a lengthy summer break for the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires, teams and drivers are anxiously waiting to get back at it. Our season picks back up at Road America for rounds nine and ten, and it will be important for the drivers as well as the teams to hit the ground running.
