August 10, 2013 (ELKHART LAKE, Wisc.) Momentum is a powerful thing. The SpeedSource Mazda6 SKYACTIV-D Clean Diesel team scored its sixth consecutive GX-class win in GRAND-AM to extend the manufacturers championship points' lead for Mazda. Taking the win was Joel Miller and Tristan Nunez in their #00 VisitFlorida.com Racing Mazda6.

The #70 Castrol Edge Mazda6 of Sylvain Tremblay and Tom Long qualified on pole and led early before being delayed with a power-steering problem. The middle part of the race saw the BGB Motorsports Porsche lead before Miller closed in on Spencer Pumpelly and took the spot with under five minutes remaining in the two-hour and 45-minute race.

John Doonan, Motorsports Director, Mazda North American Operations said, “Road America is one of the greatest tracks in the country, and one that we all enjoy. Every win is special. This one because Road America is within a short drive of the Mazda Midwest Region office and we had a fantastic group of Mazda dealers here to share the success with our team and our amazing Mazda fans.”

Joel Miller said, “SKYACTIV-D again proved its strength in the extremes of endurance racing. The long straights here at Road America, coupled with the four-mile circuit, makes the engine work hard. The SpeedSource crew prepared a great car for us today and together we brought home another victory for Mazda SKYACTIV Technology.”
