< Back FLETCHER JOINS COPELAND MOTORSPORTS FOR THE 2023 SEASON Mazda MX-5 Cup Jan 5, 2023 FLETCHER TO MX-5 CUP Moving from karting to cars late in 2022, national-level kart racer and multi-time karting champion Jeremy Fletcher is set for his Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich debut later this month. Set to take on the high banks of the famed Daytona International Speedway, Fletcher will enter the event as an accomplished karter and a promising MX-5 Cup rookie. “Jeremy may have the rookie designation behind his name, but he is far from it,” expressed Dean Copeland. “Jeremy has performed very well in pre-season testing, so much so that they chose to skip the previously planned Spec Miata program and go straight into the national series. With a colorful resume, drive to succeed and pure pace, I would be surprised if Jeremy was not in the Rookie of the Year hunt at the end of the 2023 season.” “I am excited to make the full-time move to cars and with a program such as Copeland Motorsports,” explained Jeremy Fletcher. “They have trained and advanced a lot of my former karting teammates, and I can’t wait to follow in their footsteps. I grew up watching guys like Tyler Gonzalez, Tyler Maxson and Max Opalski and now I get to race in the same team as them.” Jeremy Fletcher’s results speak volumes of his drive and determination on the track. A winner and champion in the cadet ranks of karting, Fletcher advanced to the junior ranks with ease continuing his winning ways. 2022 has seen another jump in categories as he moved to the senior categories, the upper echelon of karting in North America. Showing his speed early and often, Fletcher has been a force in every race weekend earning multiple race wins on the national stage. Copeland continued, “Jeremy is a winner, and he has proven that throughout his karting career. We think we can help him be a winner in cars as well. He will have great teammates to work with and I am confident in a powerful program.” Stay tuned for additional Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich driver announcements coming from Copeland Motorsports.

< Back eKartingNews.com Driver of the Month: December 2021 – Jeremy Fletcher Ekartingnews Jan 18, 2021 Florida driver becomes second ever to win twice on SuperSunday at SKUSA SuperNationals 24 Jeremy Fletcher was named EKN Driver of the Month for December 2021 after three wins on the month at two events In a continued effort to highlight the many outstanding performances by drivers around the country, eKartingNews.com is proud to introduce the ‘Driver of the Month’ program. Each month, the staff at EKN will determine the one driver who stood out above the rest and give the viewers a chance to know exactly what they accomplished and who they are. December 2021 was the much-anticipated return of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals, with the 24th edition of the event moving to a new date and new location. Nearly 500 karters from around the world converged on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway between December 1-5. It was 742 days between the SuperSunday of 2019 and the SuperSunday of 2021 with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancellation of the event in 2020. A part of history was made for SuperNationals 24 in Vegas thanks to Florida driver Jeremy Fletcher. The KA100 Junior division was added to the SKUSA SuperNationals in 2018, providing a second Junior category for competitors to take part. Fletcher was among those to pull double duty, and was near the front in both. The KA100 class began for Fletcher by qualifying sixth. The veteran charged forward in the opening two heats, driving to the win in both. He ended up third in the final heat race, securing the pole position for the main event on SuperSunday. Fletcher jumped out to the lead and sat there for the first 22 laps. As he led, Texas driver Helio Meza worked up to second and sat on his bumper. Meza pulled the trigger prior to receiving the white flag. On the final lap entering turn four, Fletcher fought back and was able to grab back the top position. The two made contact on the exit of turn four. Meza ended up smacking the wall, as Fletcher caught air from the impact with Helio. Fletcher continued while Meza was forced to retire. Jeremy went on to take the checkered flag, securing his first SuperNationals victory. That was only half the battle as Fletcher jumped in his X30 Junior OTK machine later in the day. Fletcher began the event by qualifying second overall in the category. Starting on the outside of the front row was a tough task, but Fletcher fought strong all three heat races. He finished the opener in third but was given a three-second penalty for blocking to drop him to seventh after posting fast lap of the race. Jeremy led the opening eight laps of Heat #2 yet ended up in third. Two separate penalties, including a pushback bumper, dropped him to 11th in the final classification. The third heat was another with Fletcher up front, this time crossing the line second and advancing up as the winner after penalties. All that action lined him up in fifth in the order on SuperSunday. It only took three laps before Fletcher took over the point in the 24-lap main event. Fighting behind him, along with consistent lap times in clean air helped to establish a solid lead. By the checkered flag, Fletcher created a four-second advantage for the victory. With a second victory on SuperSunday, Fletcher joined four-time SuperNationals winner Connor De Phillippi as the only driver to win two separate main events at the same SuperNats event. The two wins by Fletcher puts him halfway to the top of all-time win list that includes De Phillippi, Billy Musgrave, and Kip Foster – all with four victories at the SuperNationals. Prior to the calendar turning over, Fletcher made his official jump up to the Senior level at the World Karting Association Daytona KartWeek event, annually held during the December 28-30 time period at the Daytona International Speedway. Jeremy competed in the KA100 Senior division, qualifying second for Day 1 and Day 2 action during the timed sessions at the end of practice day. Fletcher came out and won the Day 1 Prefinal, securing the pole position for the main event. He led the first 14 laps before slipping to the second spot, where he would finish. During the Day 2 Prefinal, Jeremy slipped back to sixth on the opening lap, fighting back to third with fast lap of the race. Early shuffling opened the Final before Fletcher established himself as the race leader. He led 14 of the 16 laps to secure his first Senior victory. He also added one podium in the Briggs 206 class, placing third in the Final on Day 2. Fletcher makes history with EKN, becoming the second driver to be named Driver of the Month in the same year, having gained the honor back in March for his winning performances at the SKUSA Pro Tour WinterNationals and United States Pro Kart Series opener (Brent Crews earned honor twice in 2017). Fletcher is kicking off the 2022 season with double duty at the SKUSA Winter Series, sitting fourth in KA100 Senior standings thanks to a runner-up finish on Sunday and 14th in X30 Senior with a best result of fourth on Saturday, including fast lap of the race. He followed that up with a victory in the VLR Senior division at the Florida Winter Tour opener, also placing ninth in ROK Senior. Jeremy is slated to compete at the SKUSA Pro Tour, United States Pro Kart Series, IAME USA Grand National Championship and local club events in 2022.

< Back Fletcher charges to Mazda MX-5 Cup Race 1 win at Mid-Ohio RACER Staff Jun 7, 2025 First Win Of The Season The halfway point of the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin season produced a championship points shakeup. Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) fought his way through the top five to take his first win of the season. Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course wasn’t as kind to the points leader entering the weekend; Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) made a mistake on the final lap that dropped him from a possible podium to 24th at the checkered flag. Rounds seven and eight were bound to produce some surprises when it was revealed that two-time Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup Champion Gresham Wagner (No. 81 Rafa Racing Team by MMR) was entered for the first time since round two at Daytona. Wagner nearly qualified on pole in his series return but was pipped by 0.05s by Nate Cicero (No. 83 McCumbee McAleer Racing). It was the fourth pole of the year for Cicero, unfortunately for him, that spot seems to be cursed, because a driver has yet to win from pole this season. Cicero succumbed to the polesitter curse and lost power while running in podium position and eventually retired. Taking the lead on lap five, Wagner faced off against Thomas, the only other two-time series champion. The back-and-forth between the pair allowed Helio Meza (No. 27 BSI Racing), Fletcher and Nathan Nicholson (No. 56 Advanced Autosports) to catch up and turn the duel into a five-way fight for the lead. The pack played nice until 10 minutes to go, when things got spicy. First Meza and Nicholson came together in Turn Seven, resulting in Nicholson taking a ride through the grass and losing several positions. Then, on the final lap, Mesa gave Fletcher a helpful push down the back straight, nudging him past Wagner and into the lead. Two turns later, Thomas lost control of his car, slid into the gravel and exited the podium fight. Fletcher didn’t look back, cruising to the win by 0.882s. “The MMR crew have given me a car to win all year long,” Fletcher said. “This is almost like a do or die season for me financially. So I've been putting myself under a lot of stress, and I think that's been taking away from us and causing us to not finish very good, so, I went out there today, just tried to keep it clean and brought it home. I'm so thankful for the McCumbee McAleer guys, Simpson Racing Products, Paene Investments, and Whelen, Mazda, Flis Performance, everyone that gets us out here.” Previous Next

< Back Jeremy Fletcher Takes Mazda MX-5 Cup at Martinsville Speedway with Photo Finish Catch Fence Oct 23, 2025 Winner At Martinsville Speedway MARTINSVILLE, Va. (Oct. 23, 2025) — The second-ever Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin race at Martinsville Speedway somehow matched— and maybe even exceeded— the thrills of the inaugural race. In a green-white-checker finish, Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) beat Westin Workman (No.13 BSI Racing) to the line by 0.003 seconds at the iconic half-mile NASCAR track. Coming off last year’s fantastically entertaining debut race, there was no shortage of hype surrounding the second year of Mazda MX-5 Cup racing at Martinsville. Once again, race fans got another amazing show with battles for the lead throughout the 100 laps and very few yellow flags. The drama started before the race even began because Nathan Nicholson (No. 56 Advanced Autosports), the fastest driver in qualifying, was sent to the back of the grid for failing post-qualifying tech. This put Frankie Barroso (No. 50 Spark Performance) in the pole spot for the first time in his Mazda MX-5 Cup career. Barroso held his own against Fletcher, the newly crowned MX-5 Cup Champion, and Workman before the trio began to battle for the lead. Behind them, Nicholson was making up ground quickly and sportscar superstar Earl Bamber (No. 31 Hendricks Motorsports), who started sixth, was moving in to claim a spot on the podium. When the caution flag came out for the lap 50 stage break, Workman was the leader, followed by Fletcher and Bamber, then Jagger Jones (No. 86 BSI Racing) and Nicholson. That would not be how the second stage started, however. New this year, during the stage break, a fan pulled a number out of a hat that set an inversion for the top 10. The fan pulled the number seven, which meant the top seven cars inverted for the start of stage two. Ironically, the driver who was seventh and thus inherited the pole for the next stage, was Barroso. On his second shot at leading the field to green, Barroso was once again able to defend his lead, but it didn’t take long for Nicholson, who had a great start, to get around him and into the lead and Fletcher followed. The race looked like it was reverting back to how the field was running at the end of stage one until Ethan Tovo (No. 30 McCumbee McAleer Racing) bounced off the side of Bamber and into the barrels at the entrance to the track’s former pit lane. A red flag was issued to clean up the area and replace the barrels, but Tovo and Bamber’s races were done. The race resumed with 27 laps to go and Nicholson in the lead. He and Workman were able to pull away from the field, but a late-race yellow created a green-white-checkered situation, just like last year. After finishing runner-up in last year’s race, Workman had learned re-starting on the inside, behind the leader, was the place to be. He lined up behind Nicholson for the start, with Fletcher taking the outside of the front row. Workman was unable to execute a bump-and-run on Nicholson, the way it was used on him last year, and Fletcher could only hang on to the outside for so long before he had to fall in line behind Nicholson. Coming off the back straight on the final lap, Nicholson went defensive, pulling to the inside, this slowed both his and Fletcher’s corner entry dramatically. The two made side-to-side contact as Workman quickly caught and tagged the rear bumper of Fletcher, who got sideways and nearly put Nicholson in the wall. Nicholson had to back out of the throttle plus Fletcher and Workman drag raced to the finish line for a photo finish. The timing screens showed the winner was Fletcher by 0.003 seconds. “I was on the radio asking for advice (about the restart),” Fletcher said. “My car chief Dalton Dow once called on the radio and tells me that I’m not here to win the race unless I go to the top side. So, I went to the top because I wasn’t going to let him say that and look where it got us.” Fletcher learned a lot from last year’s race that he was able to use toward this year’s victory. “We all knew that the invert was coming, and we wanted to stay clean for the first 50 laps,” Fletcher said. “I was happy to sit behind Weston [Workman]. It kind of turns to chaos in the last 50. “We learned that last year. I was just kind of waiting for that. I think I timed it decently. I wasn’t in a position I would ideally want to be on that last lap, on the top side, but it paid out in our favor.” On top of the $250,000 Fletcher got for winning the championship two weeks ago, he received a cool $25,000 for the win Thursday night and a Martinsville clock. Finishing second again was tough for Workman, but he knew he had done everything he could to get the win. “Last year was replaying in my head, and honestly, I just tried to do what happened to me last year,” Workman said. “Nicholson did a good job of holding his own. “I thought maybe Fletcher and Nicholson would take each other out, and I was going to slot through for the win, but just came up short this year. It sucks to finish second again, but I’m happy to be here and happy BSI finished two and three.” Jones was thrilled to complete the podium at Martinsville after finishing 16th in last year’s race and having to put a pause on his 2025 MX-5 Cup season after a big crash on the St. Petersburg street circuit. “I didn’t really get much practice today,” Jones said. “We had some issues, so if I hadn’t run here last year, I would have been in trouble. “I just took what I learned about protecting the bottom, which was huge, especially this year, and just took that experience and was able to come home P3.” Polesitter Frankie Barroso was able to finish fourth, while Sally Mott (No. 15 Spark Performance) earned her first-ever MX-5 Cup top-five finish. The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Cup season has officially come to an end. The 2026 season kicks off January 21 at Daytona International Speedway.

< Back Fourth Podium Of The Year For Fletcher RACER Staff May 12, 2024 A mistake in the final corner of Saturday’s Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin race cost Aaron Jeansonne (No. 24 JTR Motorsports Engineering) a hometown victory. He redeemed himself in Sunday’s race with a decisive win. Nathan Nicholson (No. 56 JTR Motorsports Engineering) came home second, with Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) finishing third. Starting from pole position, Jeansonne led all but one lap of the race, but each and every one of those laps was a fight to stay up front. For the first half of the race Jeansonne’s teammate, and Saturday race winner, Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) was glued to his bumper. Any effort to work together and pull away from the field was spoiled by Tyler Gonzalez (No. 57 Saito Motorsports Group), who had a great start and was breathing down the JTR duo’s necks. The top eight cars separated themselves from the rest of the field and were fighting for every inch of race track. Eventually, Thomas was sucked into the battle behind him and nearly fell out of the top 10. The tight battles gave Jeansonne some moments of reprieve, but he wasn’t able to pull away from the pack until the penultimate lap. “I didn’t look in my mirror one time,” Jeansonne said of the final two laps. “My spotter told me they were 15 car-lengths behind me coming to the white flag. I was like, ‘Okay, I got it. Fifteen car-lengths. I don’t need anything else.’” I just drove and knew I had the gap, a little bit of a margin, and came away with it.” WeatherTech Raceway is Jeansonne’s home track and site of his first-ever Mazda MX-5 Cup win last year. “There’s a lot of people here helping me and supporting me and that made yesterday really tough,” Jeansonne said of Saturday’s race. “I really wanted it yesterday and came so close. I am so happy to get it done today and in exciting fashion like that.” With the win, bonus points for two pole positions and leading the most laps in both races, Jeansonne provisionally takes over the championship points and inches closer to the $250,000 championship prize. A runner-up finish felt like a victory for Nicholson. His race began with a poor start and while fighting not to fall too far behind, he took a ride through the gravel in Turn Five and nearly spun. An early full-course yellow helped him stay in the top 10 and gave him a chance to refocus for the restart. Nicholson clawed his way back through the field and into second by the race’s halfway mark, but an attempt to take the lead slowed his momentum enough to fall back to fourth with two laps to go. Determined to earn his second-straight podium finish, Nicholson dug deep. “I got pushed off and the only thing I was worried about was just picking off one car by one car by one car,” Nicholson said. “It’s the exact same mindset as Sebring when I went 30th to 10th. You know, it’s the bad days, when stuff goes wrong, that matter and win championships.” MORE MAZDA MX-5 CUP! Wagner unstoppable in MX-5 Cup Race 2 win at Mid-Ohio Zilisch finally nabs first MX-5 Cup win of 2024 at Mid-Ohio Wagner breaks his own Mazda MX-5 Cup qualifying lap record at Mid-Ohio Defending for his life, and sometimes defying physics, Nicholson held onto second. “The team gave me a car that would stick anywhere, so I can’t thank them enough for that,” he said. Two podium results at Laguna Seca pushes Nicholson into the lead of the Rookie of the Year standings, which culminates in a $80,000 check at the end of the season from Mazda. Fletcher had the fastest lap of the race and clearly the speed to win but started seventh and found it extra tricky to pick up positions early on in the race. “I definitely fell back in the beginning,” Fletcher said. “I knew I had the car and suddenly felt really good and after the caution. I kind of just tried to pick them off one by one and go from there. There was a lot of contact, not with me, just around me and I think that helped us a lot to kind of move through. MMR had the car absolutely flying, so I can’t thank them enough and my grandparents and The Holster Store for bringing me out here and making this possible.” It is the fourth podium of the year for Fletcher who is in his sophomore season.

< Back Championship in Play as Mazda MX-5 Cup Returns to Mid-Ohio Speedway Media Jun 3, 2024 LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 3, 2024) The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin never ceases to surprise. Now at the halfway point of the season, the series has yet to have a repeat race winner and the championship point leader has changed with each round. Rounds Seven and Eight at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course could disrupt these trends and put the spotlight on a 2024 championship favorite. The Mid-Ohio weekend marks the return of Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup to the 2.258-mile natural terrain road course after not being part of the 2023 season schedule. Since then, the track has new pavement and the cars now race on Michelin tires. That could make it a level playing field for those who have not been to the circuit before. JTR Motorsports Engineering is flying high after the last two rounds of the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Coming into that weekend, JTR had yet to put a driver on the podium. Leaving Laguna Seca, however, the Indiana-based team locked out the top two positions in the points, thanks to wins from Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) and Aaron Jeansonne (No. 24 JTR Motorsports Engineering). Not only that, but the team’s rookie driver, Nathan Nicholson (No. 56 JTR Motorsports Engineering) captured his first two career podiums and moved up to fifth in the point standings, the highest of the rookie class. Nipping at JTR’s heels are the drivers of McCumbee McAleer Racing. Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbe McAleer Racing) and Nate Cicero (No. 83 McCumbee McAleer Racing), who each took a third-place finish in Monterey. Their teammate Gresham Wagner (No. 5 McCumbee McAleer Racing) has more wins at Mid-Ohio than any other driver entered, with two (2020 and 2022). That could be because it’s his favorite track. “It’s a really old-school type track,” Wagner said. “To be fair, most of the tracks we go to have their own unique characteristics that make them tricky or require some finesse. It’s the strongest at Mid-Ohio, that element of finesse and precision that it requires. It has a little bit of everything: high-speed back straight, it’s got a tight little arena section, it’s flowing and hilly. It’s a dream track. For cars that race like we do, it’s the perfect little bullring with a few passing opportunities.” Mid-Ohio will mark the return of Connor Zilisch (No. 72 BSI Racing) who missed Rounds Five and Six due to a scheduling conflict with his ARCA commitments. When the young phenom last raced MX-5 Cup at Mid-Ohio, he was a rookie and had a weekend to forget. He may not be in the championship hunt, but Zilisch is capable of mixing it up at the front of the field and is eager to get his first MX-5 Cup win of the season after missing out on a victory at Sebring by all of .001-seconds. The largest cheering section of the weekend undoubtably goes to local driver Woody Heimann (No. 82 JTR Motorsports Engineering). The Ohio native is in his fourth season of MX-5 Cup. Living just an hour away, Heimann has been coming to Mid-Ohio since he was a kid and started his racing career here, albeit on two wheels instead of four. “I’ve raced motorcycles, bicycles and now cars at Mid-Ohio,” Heimann said. “My first time there was 1996 as a spectator and my first time there on two wheels was 2001 at a track day. My first race was spring of 2003, on two-wheels. I’m celebrating 21 years of motorsports at Mid-Ohio! “Mid-Ohio is a great road course,” he added. “I feel like half the paddock would say it’s their favorite track. It’s a drivers’ course. It’s not a drafting track. The draft doesn’t matter much and if you can wheel the car well, then you’ll do good. Having raced a season (2023) that didn’t go to Mid-Ohio, it makes me appreciate it that much more now that we’re going back.” Heimann is correct, many drivers on the MX-5 Cup grid list Mid-Ohio as their favorite track. Will we have our first repeat winner of the season, or will the championship leader double down on his points margin? Will hometown heroes rise to the top and make it to the podium or could a talented rookie get their first-ever win? These questions and more will be answered in MX-5 Cup Rounds Seven and Eight at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Race 1 will go green at 3:25pm ET on Saturday, June 8. Race 2 will take place Sunday, June 9, at 10:25am ET. Both races will be streamed live on RACER.com and IMSA.tv .

< Back Mazda MX-5 Cup Race Win Gives Fletcher VIR Weekend Sweep IMSA Aug 25, 2025 McCumbee McAleer Driver Takes Points Lead with Two Races Left in 2024 Race 2 Results ALTON, Va. – After a thrilling drive from last to first in Saturday’s Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin race, Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) followed it up with a photo-finish win on Sunday. Fletcher was joined on the podium by teammate Gresham Wagner (No. 5 McCumbee McAleer Racing) in second, while Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) climbed from last on the grid to third at the checkered flag. Unlike Saturday’s race, Fletcher’s race started as strong as it finished. He was able to hook up with his MMR teammates Nate Cicero (No. 83 McCumbee McAleer Racing) and Wagner, and the trio worked together to pull away. They had a six-second gap to the rest of the field when a full-course caution came out for a car stopped on course, erasing their advantage. “I was super thankful for the guys,” Fletcher said. “I think we all worked pretty good together and created that gap. We knew we had pace. The caution was kind of heartbreaking, but kind of expected in these races with how tight it is. I was still confident. I knew my car had pace. I knew we had pace as a team, and I figured we could conquer everyone else as a team and get it done.” While they were unable to replicate their breakaway, especially with a second full-course caution coming shortly thereafter, the MMR teammates continued to be a force at the front of the field. It wasn’t until three laps to go that two non-MMR cars pushed each other to the front. Previous Next
