We look forward to working with the <span class=\"xn-location\">Monterey County<\/span> Board of Supervisors on a long-term agreement that will allow the facility to thrive and remain among the world&#8217;s finest race tracks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Mazda has been the primary naming partner of the race track since 2001, this is the first time an agreement has been made between MNAO and the <span class=\"xn-location\">Monterey County<\/span> Board of Supervisors. Previously, all naming rights agreements have been between Mazda and The Sports Car Racing Association of the <span class=\"xn-location\">Monterey Peninsula<\/span> (SCRAMP). <\/p>\n<p>SCRAMP will continue to manage and execute the Mazda agreement as it has for the past 16 years. In addition, SCRAMP, which has managed the Raceway since its inception in 1957, has an expanded management role, assuming all operations of the Laguna Seca Recreation Area and the associated campgrounds, not including the shooting range.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mazda has been an invaluable partner and continues to call Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca its home away from home,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Gill Campbell<\/span>, CEO and general manager of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. &#8220;There are sponsors, and then there are partners.\u00a0 Mazda falls firmly into the latter category, as they truly appreciate the relationship and invest far more than just money into ensuring this race circuit continues to be one of the world&#8217;s finest. We are pleased to have the Mazda team fully engaged with everything we do, now and hopefully into the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and to see a schedule of events, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mazdaraceway.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">MazdaRaceway.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Mazda Motorsports<\/span> boasts the most comprehensive auto racing development ladder system of any auto manufacturer in the world.
