KERSHAW, S.C. — For the 16th consecutive year, Mazda once again staged a shootout among qualified, ambitious and motivated racers to find the best candidate to earn a significant career boost. After two days of driving, interviews and analyzing data at Carolina Motorsports Park, three drivers walked away with scholarships to get them into next year’s Mazda MX-5 Cup season. The largest check was handed to Westin Workman, who now has a $110,000 leg-up on his 2024 Mazda MX-5 Cup season. Workman is a true shootout pro, taking part in the 2020 and 2021 Spec MX-5 Shootout and then the MX-5 Cup Shootout both last year and this season. I won the Spec MX-5 Shootout and now to win the MX-5 Cup Shootout is amazing. Coming into this year, this was my goal, to make it here. Mazda helped me the entire year and if you just follow their steps, you’ll get there.”.
