Star Mazda: Will it be Miller, Edwards or Dempsey? The Final Stretch this week-end!
By Geneviève Trudeau Senécal
The Star Mazda Championship is heading to the Mazda Raceway this week-end for the final event of an incredibly close season. Three drivers are separated by only 15 points in the standings... and they are all rookies! Joel Miller is leading with 389 points, but he will have to watch his back very carefully and defend his place with rage this week-end if he wants to contain four time winners John Edwards (378 pts) and Peter Dempsey (374 pts). With only one win this season, Miller owes his first place to regularity, and this will most certainly be the key of next week-end's race, in Laguna Seca. The three drivers, Miller (20), Edwards (17) and Dempsey (22), are seeking for their first professional championship title in North America. Qualification and race of this last event of the season will take place Saturday, on the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.
