SCCA Mazdaspeed Cup @ Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca - 6/02

After a hard-fought battle for 15 laps around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the #51 Star Shield Armor Miata of Scott Webb managed to finish 22nd in a highly competitive field of 70 cars at the MazdaSpeed Cup race in support of CART at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca in June 2002. Qualifying netted the team a 21st starting position in what was the largest starting field in Mazda Raceway history.

Amazingly, the 70-car MazdaSpeed Cup field made it through turn 2 on the first lap without incident, becoming the only race of the weekend not to go full-course yellow on the first lap. A turn 3 incident a bit further up in the pack, however, caused Webb to take to the dirt to avoid spinning cars, resulting in a loss of 10-12 positions. Undaunted, Webb clawed his way back up through the field, turning qualifying-speed laps in the process. Even with more than 2 laps of caution mid race, Webb was nearly able to make it back up to his grid position, finishing in 22nd place after a pass on the final turn of the last lap.
