Murillo Racing joins PWC with MX-5

The Murillo name is not unfamiliar to hardcore race fans. Making his name first as a driver and in recent years as an engineer for a variety of cars, including MX-5s in the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge Street Touring class, Ken Murillo has put his mark on the world of club and entry level professional racing as a name to trust. Now his son, Kenny Jr., wants to make his own mark and is bringing the Murillo name to Pirelli World Challenge's TCA class with a Mazda Global MX-5 Cup car.

The younger Murillo has some experience with the cars, having contested the first four rounds of the Battery Tender Global MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich Tires in 2016, the first year the series used the ND-based car.
