Mazda® LATICRETE Racing
Ron Munnerlyn has been a member of the LATICRETE Racing team since 2006, when LATICRETE sponsored his Spec Miata race car in the 2006 Spec Miata season sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Munnerlyn, LATICRETE plant manager of their newest facility in Hamlet, NC, promptly thanked LATICRETE by winning the Carolina Cup Pro Series Race on February 26, 2006, at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC.
Munnerlyn, 39, is a second-generation racer, but he didn’t get behind the wheel competitively until the 2005 SCCA season. Remarkably, he finished 23rd out of 245 competitors in his first season. The SCCA is a member-driven organization, and the Spec Miata class is one of the most popular of the 10 divisions the SCCA sanctions, with races often drawing over a thousand spectators.
"It’s no secret that racing is an expensive endeavor," says Munnerlyn. "The LATICETE sponsorship is a win-win for the both of us, providing exposure for the company and financial support for the race team. The willingness of LATICETE to lend their support and to allow me to carry the LATICETE name across the finish line has meant a lot to me, especially since I haven’t even been with the company for that long. To me, it says a lot about the type of company LATICETE is."
This year, Ron is racing in the SCCA Southeastern Division's Improved Touring A class. The SE Division extends from Florida to Alabama to North Carolina to Tennessee. To date, his LATICRETE team has run four races in the season with four wins.
