Showing flashes of pace and continued improvement of his racecraft, Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) has been on the cusp of a Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin race win all season. After one corner of Saturday’s race at VIRginia International Raceway, it looked as though he’d have to keep waiting, but a stunning comeback finally put Fletcher on the top step of the podium for the very first time. He was joined by young rookie Westin Workman (No. 13 BSI Racing) and 2021 series champion Gresham Wagner (No. 5 McCumbee McAleer Racing).

Gresham Wagner (No. 5 McCumbee McAleer Racing) earned his third Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin pole of the season on Saturday at VIRginia International Raceway. McCumbee McAleer Racing drivers swept the top three spots on the grid with Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) second and Nate Cicero (No. 83 McCumbee McAleer Racing) third.

The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin is back on track for Rounds 11 and 12 at VIRginia International Raceway. After a day of practice, Nate Cicero (No. 83 McCumbee McAleer Racing) posted the quickest time of the day.

With only four races left on the 2024 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin schedule, things are about to take a turn for the dramatic. The top eight drivers in the standings are covered by less than 600 points, which is a small margin considering one can score a maximum of 380 points per race. Seasons past have shown that VIRginia International Raceway can make or break a driver’s championship dreams.
