MX-5 Cup from Road America Begins TV Run Sunday

TOPEKA, Sept. 13, 2009: Round Seven of the SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup makes its television debut on Sunday, Sept. 13, and will continue to air throughout the month.

The first MX-5 Cup broadcast composed completely from in-car camera footage will air first on CSN Philadelphia at 2:30 p.m., then later on Cox 3 Orange County at 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 13. Both times are local broadcast times. As the week progresses, the one-hour program will also appear on TWC SportsNet Buffalo, TW Sports Syracuse and CSN California.

Tune in to see Justin Piscitell start from the pole for the first time in his No. 89 ALARA Racing/DAMG Racing MAZDASPEED MX-5, a difficult spot to defend at a high-speed course like Road America. As expected, an all-out drafting war ensues between Pisctell, Todd Lamb in the No. 84 AMG/Traqmate/Luna-C MX-5, Marc Miller in the No. 28 Team MER/MOCA/Race Now for Autism/MMP MX-5, Stan Wilson in the No. 92 Hale Motorsports/NetEvidence/Alliance 1 MX-5 and Zach Ply in the No. 27 Team MER/Insight Beverage Co. MX-5. Keep your eyes glued to the screen, because in this race, the leader board will change every lap.
