Intense Championship Fights Highlight Each Mazda Road to Indy Series

The Mazda Road to Indy Mid-Ohio PreviewThis weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the three categories of the Mazda Road to Indy will compete in two races each. The results of each will be critical to help determine who will take home the Mazda driver development scholarships for 2017.

The Indy Lights champion will earn a Mazda scholarship of more than $1 million that enables the driver to compete in at least three starts in next year's Verizon IndyCar Series, including the Indianapolis 500. In Pro Mazda, the title winner earns nearly $600,000 toward a ride in the Indy Lights category, while the USF2000 title-winning driver earns almost $380,000 toward a Pro Mazda ride in 2017.

Each of the three series will crown champions at the Mazda Road to Indy Finale weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Sept. 9-11.
