INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Sept. 4, 2020)<\/strong> \u2013 Driving the No. 87 Spark Performance entry, Selin Rollan went from fourth on the grid to win the opening round of Battery Tender\u00ae Global Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich\u00ae Tires racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday. Rollan\u2019s teammate Gresham Wagner crossed the line first after leading all 22 laps of the 45-minute event, but lost the position following a post-race technical inspection.

Michael Carter was classified second after emerging ahead of a race-long battle with Robert Noaker, who added to his Global Mazda MX-5 Cup podium tally with the third-place result.

\u201cIt was pretty intense in the pack, but once I got clear I was just trying to throw down some qualifying laps,\u201d Rollan said. \u201cIt\u2019s not the way you want to win a race, especially when it\u2019s your teammate. Gresham drove a perfect race and obviously dominated the field, so that\u2019s not the way I want to win. Sometimes wins come to you like that and I\u2019ve had wins taken from me like that. I\u2019ve gained positions from disqualifications before. That\u2019s the way racing happens. You take what you can get. It\u2019s not what we want, but we\u2019ll take it.\u201d

Carter, the 2018 Mazda Road to 24 Scholarship Winner, is a force to be reckoned with at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Georgia Tech student finished second and put in the fastest lap of the race, a new record time of 1:40.8962-seconds.

Carter (No. 08 Carter Racing Enterprises) will start Race Two from the pole position, having recorded the second-fastest lap in Thursday\u2019s qualifying.

\u201cThe start of the race was pretty characteristic of Global Mazda MX-5 Cup racing,\u201d said Carter about the run down into Turn One. \u201cBut I got clear of (Robert) Noaker and (Todd) Lamb and then once I got there, it was just pretty much run my own race. We will start from the pole in the second race and see what happens.\u201d

Current points leader Robert Noaker (No. 13 Copeland Motorsports) finished third followed by Todd Lamb (No. 84 Atlanta Speedwerks). Lamb started ninth and his run to fourth earned he and his crew chief the Battery Tender\u00ae Hard Charger Award.

Behind them, in fifth, was the highest finishing rookie Jared Thomas (No. 96 Carter Racing Enterprises), who is also the current Mazda Road to 24 Scholarship Winner.

Liam Snyder in the No. 27 Synder Brother Racing machine was the highest finishing ND.1 entry.
