Up Next... Mazda Speed3 Race... ZOOM ZOOM!!!

Ok, everyone it's a short break between races from May to June.  Next up is the Mazda Speed3 Race and it's just a few days away.  Believe it or not this will mark the half way point of the season for "The Mazda Heartland Sprint Series" presented by Russell Karting Specialties.

Which Tag Senior driver will take home the big cash purse and make their way to Florida as part of the first ever Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine with the IZOD IndyCar Series?  Which driver will take that first step on the Mazda Road to Indy and get the chance to go up against some of the best kart racers in the country in a "Top Gun" style shoot out in Florida in November?  Tune your karts and get ready because the battle continues on June 11 - 12!!!

 
The final touches are being put on the track layout and it will be posted very soon.  It will combine high speed runs with technical turns and put the driver to the test.  Will we see more first time winners or will we see repeat winners looking to solidify their quest for the Championship?  The pressure is on it's GO TIME!  

Tag Senior Drivers take the Green Flag in Round 2 of "The Mazda Heartland Sprint Series"

Luke Waller took the win in Round 2 of "The Mazda Heartland Sprint Series" and with that he maintains an 80 point lead over Kaylee Granberg, who finished on the podium in third place in the Mazda2 Cup.  Alex Nowyse rounded out the podium by finishing in 2nd place on the day and it was a tight battle between these three drivers all day long. David Piel, Natalie Fenaroli, Chris Koster, and Gregory Gerst rounded out positions four through seven on the day. Luke Waller is the driver eligible to pick up an extra $1,000 in bonus cash if he can also win race #3 and race #6 which will be a lofty task based on the competition he faces.  Rumor has it that Jim Russell Jr. will be back for round 3 as well.  The Tag Senior battle looks to heat up again in June!  One thing is for certain, the representative from "The Mazda Heartland Sprint Series" in the first ever Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine will be fierce competition for the other eleven drivers from across the country who will make their way to Palmetto, Florida later this year.
