< Back Fletcher Wins Mx-5 Cup Finale, Wagner Wins Championship IMSA Oct 11, 2024 McCumbee McAleer Racing Finishes 1-2-3 in Last Race of 2024 Season Race 2 Results Provisional Championship Points BRASELTON, Ga. – The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin has its second repeat champion as Gresham Wagner (No. 5 McCumbee McAleer Racing) added the 2024 title to the first one he captured in 2021. His teammate and championship rival Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) won the final race at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on Friday, but it wasn’t enough to surpass Wagner, who finished the race in third. The podium for Round 14 was in fact a McCumbee McAleer sweep, with Nate Cicero (No. 83 McCumbee McAleer Racing) finishing second. All three drivers were in contention for the title and up against defending champion Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) and his teammate Aaron Jeansonne (No. 24 JTR Motorsports Engineering). Cicero started from pole but had some extra time to prepare for the start when Woody Heimann (No. 82 JTR Motorsports Engineering) got into the wall on the pace lap. This required the field to remain behind the pace car for an additional 10 minutes while the stricken car was removed. When the race finally went green, Cicero and Wagner worked together at the front of the field and were quickly joined by Fletcher, but Jeansonne was also on the scene to break up the MMR party. Fletcher was the race leader when a full-course yellow was issued to retrieve a car stuck in the Turn 10 gravel trap. Circulating for six laps under yellow was helpful for Fletcher, who received 10 bonus points for leading the most laps of the race. He continued to lead after the restart and had his sights firmly set on a race win, while his teammates shuffled back and forth with JTR teammates Thomas and Jeansonne. The continuous passing prevented any pack of cars from pulling away and resulted in a long train of a dozen cars ready to pounce on any mistake. Fletcher made zero mistakes and drove it home for the victory, although the final lap was under full-course caution after a nasty accident for Jonathan Neudorf (No. 55 BSI Racing) in Turn 1. Even with the race win and most laps led, Fletcher was not able to overcome the points deficit created by his Round 13 DNF. He ends the season third in the championship standings, only 70 points out of the lead. “I really wish I could go home and celebrate a championship and a win with the team like they deserve tonight at the banquet, but things were out of our hands yesterday,” Fletcher said. “I’m pretty sure we had second place locked up coming out of that last corner, but contact was made. I just kind of shrugged it off and came out here and did what I do and did it for the team. And I did it for my sponsors, the Holster Store, McCumbee McAleer Racing, The Gun Store, Home Restoration Exchange, Mazda Motorsports, Flis Performance and everyone who puts this on for us. I’m just happy to get my third win of the season, and it really proves that I had the car to beat throughout the season. I just wish I could have gotten the championship because I feel like things that were out of my control and out of the team’s control are what really cost us that championship.” Previous Next

< Back Fletcher is crowned champion RACER Staff Oct 10, 2025 Champions !! The 2025 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin season ended in its traditional way: a wild last lap that had everyone second-guessing who would win at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. The winner of that one-lap sprint to the finish was Parker DeLong (No. 42 Parker DeLong Racing) who won the first Mazda MX-5 Cup of his career. There was no guesswork needed when it came to the championship. By taking the start and having several cars drop out of the race early, Jeremy Fletcher (No. 22 McCumbee McAleer Racing) secured the 2025 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup Championship and the $250,000 prize that comes with it. Fletcher’s only challenger for the title, Nathan Nicholson (No. 56 Advanced Autosports), retired halfway through the race with mechanical trouble, further securing his championship. It seems that since the championship was settled, the Mazda MX-5 Cup field decided that drivers without a race win should tussle for victory. Only five laps into the 45-minute race, the top six cars were all drivers without a MX-5 Cup win to their name. That pack included three notable rookies: Helio Meza (No. 27 BSI Racing), Noah Harmon (No. 7 BSI Racing) and Justin Adakonis (No. 23 McCumbee McAleer Racing). The leader of that pack when the first full-course caution came out, however, was Nicholson, who needed maximum points to steal Fletcher’s championship. It came as a shock, when, during the yellow, Nicholson slowed to a stop on track. He jumped out of his car to check the battery and under the hood, but it was no use; his day was done. When the race restarted, it was Harmon at the front, dueling with fellow rookie Marcello Paniccia (No. 19 Saito Motorsports Group). Soon DeLong was on the scene to crash the party. DeLong scored his first series podium at Road Atlanta last year and was on form once again this year. He took the lead just before the second and final full-course caution came out. The track crew worked quickly to clean up the accident scene and there was enough time left on the clock for a single-lap dash to the checkered. Paniccia was all over DeLong’s bumper but waited until Turn 10 to make his move. Delong took a defensive position, so Paniccia tried braking deeper on the outside. His car got unsettled and he dropped a wheel off track on corner exit. Paniccia needed to lift to keep his car straight and DeLong was home free to take his first MX-5 Cup race win. “This was amazing,” DeLong said. “We've worked really hard for this. I was fast here last year, and we had good pace all weekend. Yesterday, we struggled a little bit and made some mistakes, but we got a good night’s rest and came for the win today.” The winner's circle was an emotional one. PDR is small team run by Parker and his father Bill. They had a large group of family in attendance for the finale. “We've worked so hard,” DeLong said. “No one understands how much work we put in, and it's just me and my family doing this. This really means a lot.” Harmon followed DeLong across the line by 0.119s. While it was great to end the season on the podium, it wasn’t enough to surpass Meza for Rookie of the Year honors. He did, however, secure the team championship for BSI Racing with his runner-up result. “It was definitely a wild one,” Harmon said. “It was kind of a classic MX-5 Cup race to finish the season, so I was super happy with it and everyone at BSI who put in a lot of work and I can’t thank everybody enough. Thanks to Cube3 and Streetside Classics for even making it possible. I think there were a lot of moments that could have been better this season, but it’s nice to go out on a high.” Adakonis has learned a lot from teammate Fletcher this year and it paid off Friday at Road Atlanta with his first MX-5 Cup podium. “My teamate Jeremy Fletcher was really helpful in that race helping me navigate through traffic, he has been helping me all year with that. To have him there with me in the pack after starting 12th was great. Thanks to the MMR guys, they have been giving me good stuff all year, so it has been a long-time coming and it is great to get a podium. I'm glad we were able to get it done today. It is great to end the season like that.” Finishing fourth, Meza was able to stay ahead of Harmon in the point standings and earn the Rookie of the Year title. Two-time MX-5 Cup Champion Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) completed the top five. There is still one more race left for MX-5 Cup, but it’s not a points race. The series returns to Martinsville Speedway, Oct. 23, for a money race, where the winner receives $25,000. All races from the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Cup championship are available to watch on demand on the RACER YouTube channel. Previous Next

< 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
