Gresham Wagner of McCumbee McAleer Racing secured his second Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup championship in 2024, adding to his first win in 2021. The final race at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta saw teammate Jeremy Fletcher winning, but it wasn’t enough to surpass Wagner, who finished third. The podium for Round 14 was dominated by McCumbee McAleer Racing, with Nate Cicero finishing second. Both Wagner and Fletcher were in contention for the title with defending champion Jared Thomas and teammate Aaron Jeansonne. Despite starting from pole, Cicero faced delays due to a pace lap incident, allowing Fletcher to lead the most laps and eventually win the race. Fletcher’s victory wasn’t enough to overcome his points deficit from the previous round, securing him third place in the championship standings.
