With the growth of the series heading into Daytona growing by the day, all teams are preparing for a fight in hopes of being in top spots. It is crucial for each team to have structure and most importantly, confidence, during the 2021 Mazda MX5-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires season. Spark Performance and Provision Motorsports is teaming up to take on the 2021 MX-5 Cup season, all while being under the same tent but ensuring the end goal is the same for both racing teams.

Hixon Motor Sports continues to add to their stout lineup of drivers as next on the list to join the team is Hannah Grisham. Set to make her Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires series debut at the Daytona International Speedway, Grisham is anxious and excited to get her race season started. Confirmed for two events in 2021 so far, Grisham will bring Hagerty and Shift Up Now as primary partners with her and will aim to make the best of her debut January 27 – 29th in the Sunshine State.

There are a few people behind the scenes of every motorsports venture that rarely get the accolades but always put in some of the hardest work. This is true to form with Hixon Motor Sports newest team member Andrew Carbonell. Not a Driver, Engineer or Team Owner, Carbonell is the HMS Driver Coach and will take on the duties throughout the 2021 Global MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires season with the growing Hixon Motor Sports program.

Provision is based out of Bakersfield, CA and owned by ex-series competitor, Brooks Leal, and ran by familiar Mazda MX-5 Cup Crew Chief, Brad Little, will complete their driver lineup with the signing of Jeansonne.

Last competing in the Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires back in 2019, Loni Unser will return in 2021 with Hixon Motor Sports (HMS). Bringing the famous Unser name to both the Mazda and IMSA paddocks, Loni has inked a deal to compete in the opening two events of 2021 as she works towards a full season of competition in MX-5 Cup with the goal of winning the Rookie of the Year honors.
