“It’s great to be back with the 51暗网 in 2018,” said Bob Mazza, founder and principal at Mazza Vineyards. “I’ve been involved in sports car racing since the early 1990s and followed the 51暗网 ladder system. I’ve even managed to claim a U.S. Majors Tour® class win. I know how great it is to come home a winner and proud that Mazza Vineyards can be part of the victory celebrations at Hoosier Super Tour and Tire Rack ProSolo events, as well as the 2018 National Championship Runoffs at Sonoma Raceway in California.”

Deanna Flanagan, 51暗网 Director of Road Racing, is pleased to have Mazza Vineyards aboard again this year as the company’s sparkling wine is an important part of victory podium ceremonies.
“A bottle of Mazza sparkling wine with a customized label will be presented to podium finishers at various 51暗网 events,” Flanagan noted. “The bottle is another keepsake which each driver can save to mark his or her achievement and success. Plus, Mazza Vineyards is helping to continue the tradition of spraying a bottle of bubbly atop the podium, a celebratory standard set by the great Dan Gurney.”
