After our successful Roar Before the 24 test at Daytona International Speedway, the sportscar-savvy guys at SportsCar Unleashed interviewed me about the test and a host of other subjects. You can check the podcast out here.
This past weekend was the 10th annual Classic Mazda dealer event in Orlando, Florida. We had over 250 Boy Scouts in attendance for the pinewood derby. This year was bigger than ever, with the Mazda Road to Indy and Mazda Road to 24 represented by both drivers and cars at the event. It was also the first year that Castrol has been a co-sponsor, which is perfect because they are a longtime partner for our No. 70 Mazda prototype.
The Scouts built their derby cars on site – they got them built, painted and prepped in time for the evening’s races.
With the Rolex 24 at Daytona next week, the excitement is building for the teams, drivers and fans. If you’re attending the race, be sure to stop by and say hi during our autograph session on Saturday at noon during the pre-race festivities. You can also follow the latest updates on my Facebook page and Twitter, as well as on the Mazda Racing Twitter feed.
