The 2024 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin season finale got underway Wednesday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta with two practice sessions. McCumbee McAleer Racing drivers locked out the top three in each session, with Jeremy Fletcher turning the quickest lap of the day.
The MMR trio of Fletcher, Nate Cicero and Gresham Wagner were the only drivers able to break into the 1:35 lap times. The fastest of which, a 1:35.599 was turned by Fletcher in the afternoon session.
“I mean, can’t thank the McCumbee McAleer guys enough,” Fletcher said. “Dalton, my mechanic, Stelly, Stu, Ben, Chad, Steven and Stewart, all these guys, they all put it on for us and I’m happy we can all go out there and put on a good show. Top three, both sessions, me on top in Session 2, Nate on top in Session 1. It’s a really great feeling.”
Fletcher is the Mazda MX-5 Cup point leader coming into the finale and swept the previous race event at VIRginia International Raceway, winning both races.
