During the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup race in St. Petersburg, Florida, Tyler Gonzalez from BSI Racing secured his second win of the season, with the first win at Daytona.

Jared Thomas also had a successful weekend, securing a double podium finish and further adding to his points lead in the competition.
