The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin has entered a new era with new partners, a new name, and a new logo for the 2024 season. Although the series has undergone changes, many familiar faces are returning, like Jared Thomas and Aaron Jeansonne, who were top contenders in the 2023 championship. Thomas, who is not only a driver but also a team owner, will have to balance his on-track duties while ensuring the satisfaction of his JTR customers. Another former champion, Gresham Wagner, has switched teams and hopes to become the series’ second-ever repeat champion. Newcomer Westin Workman, the winner of the Mazda MX-5 Cup Shootout, has joined BSI Racing for his rookie season and aims to prove himself. With the addition of new teams, such as Rick Ware Racing, the competition is expected to be intense in the upcoming season.
