Mazda Wins PWC Touring Car Title

Manufacturer’s championship in Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car helped by a pair of victories at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca by Adam Poland and Ernie Francis Jr.

After a race-long battle between championship contenders Ernie Francis Jr. and Corey Fergus – a theme that would permeate all three Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car Championship races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca – ended in contact, Adam Poland swept through in his Edge Addicts/Majestic Pet MX-5 to claim his first victory of the season. That win secured the Manufacturers Championship in the Touring Car category for Mazda and also pushed Poland into third place in the drivers standings.

"The 2015 World Challenge Touring Car Manufacturer Championship can be summed up in one word: Customers," said John Doonan, Director, Mazda Motorsports. "We are so proud and appreciative of all of our customer teams that have dedicated themselves to running up front, standing on the podium, and winning races for the Mazda brand. We are grateful for their investment of time, energy, and resources in racing Mazdas. This championship is a celebration of them and their efforts. Special thanks to each and every member of all the teams that brought this championship to Mazda."
