The Spirit of Mazda: Tom Fowler

Helpful and committed, Tom Fowler and OPM Autosports are always working to move the sport forward.

The thing about Spec Miata is it has a lot of cheerleaders. Those who have championed the class sing its praises as both a driver development tool and a way to get into racing inexpensively and competitively. So finding someone who has supported the class since the beginning isn't that difficult.

But there are those that have gone above and beyond in their backing of Spec Miata. Tom Fowler, owner of OPM Autosports with his wife, Tracy, is one of those people, and for supporting the class and its competitors from the beginning with both integrity and a continuous desire to improve, he is this month's recipient of the Spirit of Mazda award. =STORY#sthash.x9faHfyg.dpuf
