< Back Inside Mazda MX-5 Cup: Jeremy Fletcher’s sophomore surge Richard S. James Feb 23, 2025 Jeremy Fletchers Sophmore Surge Jeremy Fletcher's rookie year was probably not quite what he expected. A few top-10 finishes, but not remarkable by any means. However, come the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by Michelin’s 2024 season opener, Fletcher made a statement that he had no intentions of finishing the championship in the same spot he did in 2023. With a third- and a second-place finish in Daytona International Speedway’s January curtain raiser, Fletcher heads into Rounds 3 and 4 at Sebring International Raceway, March 14-15, tied for the points lead with McCumbee McAleer Racing teammate Gresham Wagner. A different team, new teammates and a renewed focus for his sophomore MX-5 Cup season have all moved 17-year-old Fletcher’s program forward. After a long time in karting with about a dozen national-level championships followed by a brief stint in Spec Miata, Fletcher started his MX-5 Cup career with Copeland Racing. But Copeland is no longer competing in the series, and Fletcher switched to McCumbee McAleer Racing. That move, and being around other talented drivers, has made a big difference. “The move definitely had a positive impact, both driving-wise and surrounding myself with teammates that are consistently at the front,” says Fletcher. “Working with Stevan and Stuart McAleer, Chad McCumbee and the whole team creates an atmosphere that is just amazing. And working with drivers like Nate Cicero, Gresham Wagner and John Jodoin on track, I feel like it has made it a more positive place for me to be at the race track.” That wasn't the only step that he took to increase his competitiveness. “I'm definitely starting to work on myself personally,” he adds, “doing some training, going to the gym more actively and trying to be the best I can be when I show up. Plus getting as much testing and practice as I can.” Fletcher (below) is also fortunate that the first two MX-5 Cup weekends are at tracks he knows well, Daytona and Sebring. From St. Cloud, Fla., about equidistant to both venues, he's raced and tested at each of them multiple times. The grandson, son and nephew of motocross racers, his grandfather founded the Ocala Gran Prix kart track, which helped set Jeremy on his path. The potential for Mazda scholarship money led him to MX-5 Cup, although it probably didn't hurt that 2022 Rookie of the Year Connor Zilisch was his teammate in karting years ago. Now he has his sights set on sports car endurance racing. Being in the IMSA paddock is a means to that end, he says. “It's definitely great to be surrounded by all the IMSA teams. And it also lets you, I would say, explore your options a bit with who you could run with, or what your dreams may be,” he explains. “You can talk to those people and figure yourself out and what you want to race in the future.” He notes that MX-5 Cup has been a great training ground. The competitiveness of the series and the closeness of the competition hones and fast-tracks a driver's abilities. “If you don't have the racecraft, you're not really going to be up there,” he says. “The field is so tight -- and especially with the draft at a place like Daytona -- that you have to use quite a bit of strategy. And even if you really aren't driving that great, or you have some problems, you can still be there strategically as long as you’re kind of controlling the field. If you get the racecraft good enough, then you can run up front even if you don't have the best car or best pace.” He's learned a thing or two by watching drivers like Zilisch and Wagner, but the one thing he feels has made a big difference coming into this season is that to win, he knows he’s got to be more assertive on track. “Not get pushed around,” he says of the key to his newfound podium abilities. “I feel coming into Daytona I was a lot more abrupt, a lot more decisive -- like, I would make a move and make sure it stuck and make sure the guys knew I was out there. Last year I was kind of nervous to make a move, or not make somebody so happy with a move I made. I feel like that would always put me in a bad spot, not going for the opening.” That newly-found assertiveness certainly paid off at Daytona. Next up, Fletcher heads to Sebring looking to maintain his early-season momentum on the fast, but bumpy runways and turns of the classic Florida road course. Previous Next

< Back TOP LEVEL KARTER JEREMY FLETCHER JOINS COPELAND MOTORSPORTS SPEC MIATA PROGRAM RTD Media Dec 15, 2022 Jeremy Fletcher Joins CMP For Spec Miata Launching the Copeland Motorsports Spec Miata program just last week, national level kart racer and multi-time karting champion Jeremy Fletcher is the first to jump on board. Inking a deal with Copeland Motorsports for the 2023 Spec Miata season with his eyes on the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup in 2024, Fletcher will begin testing immediately as he looks to make an impact in the car racing world from the drop of the green flag at his first race. Focused on the training and preparation for drivers looking to take the next step in their motorsports career, Copeland Motorsports will also offer an internal scholarship program for these drivers and Fletcher will look to make history by being a first time winner. “I am excited to make the 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 have a lot of karting events to win this year, but I am excited for the future.” Dean Copeland continued, “Our goal is to bring drivers from the karting ranks to cars and help them be successful. Jeremy is the perfect candidate for our program, and we are happy to welcome him to the Copeland Motorsports family. We will train Jeremy both on and off the track, how to be a good driver and team player, how to dress and market themselves, communication, engineering and more. We want drivers to advance in our program as a complete package.” 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. “Jeremy is a winner, and he has proven that in karting,” expressed Copeland. “We think we can help him be a winner in cars as well.” While Copeland Motorsports works with competitors, they will also offer a $60,000 scholarship for drivers looking to take the next step with them. Jeremy Fletcher is the first competitor to join this program as Copeland Motorsports will aim to have a total of six Spec Miata Development Drivers. Following the successful completion of the seven-race Spec Miata program, competitors will receive a special invitation to the Copeland Motorsports Invitational; a two-day event at a to be determined track where all participants will be evaluated both on track and off track for speed, performance, driver feedback, understanding of data and analysis, driver attitude amongst other key areas to produce the complete driver. An overall winner of the Copeland Motorsports Mazda Driver Development Program will be chosen by a panel of judges including but not limited to Tom Long who is a judge in the Mazda Shootout as well as a longtime motorsports coach and driver, Dean Copeland, Kevin Copeland, Tyler Gonzalez, and Dan Williams with the winner of invitational receiving $60,000 scholarship towards a full season of Mazda MX-5 Cup with Copeland motorsports in 2024.

This website follows Jeremy Fletcher, a young racecar driver whom is quickly moving up the ranks in motorsports. As here you can find his results, racing tips, onboard videos, and more. About Me. Hi, I’m Jeremy Fletcher, a professional racecar driver from St. Cloud, Florida. Racing has always been a huge part of my life—my grandfather initially got me into karting at the age of 4. As a kid, I used racing as an escape from my personal life and it really let me leave behind my not-so-ideal childhood. With the experiences I had at such a young age, I believe it really fine-tuned me into being my own person as well as strive for the top no matter the circumstances I am put in. Now, fast forward 14 years: I am competing in both the Mazda MX-5 Cup and the Toyota GR Cup. But before I ever drove a car, I spent years in karting—and that’s where everything began for me. I learned what it takes to win, to lose, and to keep improving no matter what. During my karting career, I have won 15 national championships in sprint karts. These have come across my 12 years of racing, in SKUSA, USPKS, WKA, ROK, and other series. Those experiences shaped me not just as a driver but as a competitor. Karting taught me how to stay calm under pressure, how to race smart, and how to keep fighting even when things don’t go your way. Moving Into Cars In 2023, I made the jump into professional car racing with Copeland Motorsports in the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup. It was a big step up with zero experience, but I quickly found my rhythm and learned a lot about what comes with racing at this level. In 2024, I joined McCumbee McAleer Racing (MMR) and had one of my best seasons yet — winning at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta while also sweeping V.I.IR and finishing third in the championship. Now in 2025, I am the current and youngest ever Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup Champion, while also being the youngest winner of the Martinsville, Virginia, is For Lovers 300 in the Mazda MX-5 Cup. Also, racing with Copeland Motorsports again—this time in the Toyota GR Cup, alongside my ongoing MX-5 Cup program. Lastly, I became a 2025 Rok Vegas winner by finding a last-minute ride! Competing in two series mainly has pushed me to adapt, learn faster, and keep growing as a driver. Looking Ahead Every season, my goal is to take another step forward—not just in results, but in experience. I want to continue climbing through the ranks of professional motorsport, with my eyes set on making it to IMSA endurance and GT racing in the future. I’m thankful to be part of such a competitive environment that has made me better in every way. This is just the beginning, and I’m excited for what’s next. Thank You to My Partners I couldn’t do this without the incredible support from my partners and sponsors: The Holster Store, Furniture One, Simpson, Paene Investments, and everyone who believes in me at Jeremy Fletcher Racing. Their support allows me to chase my dreams and represent their brands on and off the track.
