< 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

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 About Jeremy 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 15 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 national karting. 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.R 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 with a possibility of NASCAR. 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.

< 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 eKartingNews.com Driver of the Month: March 2021 – Jeremy Fletcher Ekartingnews Apr 27, 2021 Multiple wins at United States Pro Kart Series and SKUSA Pro Tour WinterNats gives nod to Florida driver 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. The four weekends in March were busy with racing in the USA karting scene, welcoming outstanding numbers in the events that helped to close out the winter programs and begin the summer season championships. It was a busy three week stretch in the southeast with the United States Pro Kart Series and Superkarts! USA Pro Tour kicking off their 2021 programs while the championships were decided at the Florida Winter Tour in between those two events. Florida driver Jeremy Fletcher contested all three races over that three-week period, and put down some of his best performances at the Junior level to date. It all began with a dominating performance at the USPKS Southern Grand Prix at the Ocala Gran Prix facility, the track Fletcher honed his skills in Kid Kart and at the Cadet level. Fletcher ran both the X30 Junior and KA100 Junior categories on the weekend with two rounds of racing over the two days of competition. Fletcher ended up fifth in qualifying for X30, but worked his way to the point quickly to control the 39-driver field at the checkered flag. The Final was all Fletcher, leading all 22 laps for the victory. The KA field had 48 drivers and was split up for qualifying and the Prefinals. Fletcher was fourth overall in qualifying and was able to came away with the win in his heat race. When they put the field back together for the Final, Fletcher was among those fight for the victory. Leading just two laps, Fletcher settled into the second spot where he would cross the line. Provisional winner Danny Dyszelski would be removed from the results following tech, thus promoting Fletcher to the top of the podium. Sunday was a near perfect day in the KA100 class, scoring a second straight victory. After setting fast time in qualifying, Fletcher led all the laps in his Prefinal. Austin Jurs was the only driver to relegate Jeremy out of the top spot in the Final, leading just two laps until Fletcher returned to the point and leading the rest of the 22-lap distance. The X30 class was hard-fought all day long with Fletcher inside the top-three. Slipping to third at the start of the Final, Jeremy was unable to move forward and finished there, earning a fourth podium finish in the four main events on the weekend, leaving with three first-place trophies, two championship leads and a $2,500 payday. The following weekend was the Florida Winter Tour finale at the same Ocala facility, for what would unfortunately be the final race held at the Ocala, Florida circuit with its recent announcement to close. Fletcher was among the contenders all weekend in the Junior ROK category. Rain came for the main event with Jeremy placing fifth in the main event, ending the championship in the third position. The third and final weekend of the month took Fletcher west to the SKUSA WinterNationals at NOLA Motorsports facility in Avondale, LA for the opening rounds of the 2021 SKUSA Pro Tour. Double duty was on the docket for Fletcher throughout the weekend racing in both X30 and KA100 Junior classes. Jeremy began the weekend in X30 qualifying fourth for Round One. He drove up to the front and crossed the line first in the Prefinal, only to be dropped two positions for a pushback bumper penalty. Fletcher went immediately to the lead in the main event, and then battled with defending champion Carson Morgan for the remainder of the race. Morgan took the on-track win but a blocking penalty added three seconds to his total time. This penalty advanced Fletcher to the win, his first in SKUSA Pro Tour action in the category. Sunday brought on a good start and nearly the fast time in qualifying for Jeremy, missing out on the P1 position by 89 thousandths. What began as a promising day turned to trouble in the Prefinal. After battling for the lead through the first seven laps, lap eight sent Fletcher off the course and down to the tail of the field, eventually classified 21st. Making quick work on the opening circuits of the Final, Fletcher was up to 10th by the end of lap three. With a steady pace and some drafting partners, Jeremy was able to move up to third in the waning laps and then, on the penultimate circuit, grab the lead with a late move in Turn 17. Fletcher held off all challenge on the final circuit to complete the drive of the weekend. A podium finish was in sight during Round One in the KA100 Junior main event after winning the Prefinal but a pushback bumper penalty dropped him to P3 at the start. Fletcher led for two laps before getting shuffled out of the position. A few laps later, he pulled off with a mechanical issue, ending his day. Sunday was another fight for a podium spot, inside the top-five all day but ending up in the fifth position at the checkered flag. Next on the docket for Fletcher is this weekends United States Pro Kart Series Heartland Grand Prix at the New Castle Motorsports Park in New Castle, Indiana.
