Powell will head up an all-out assault on the championship by piloting one of several Tech Sport Racing Mazda MX-5s. Powell, a former full-time stunt driver for Walt Disney World, brings an already healthy resume with over 16 years of racing to his credit. Eric's past experience stems from a wide range of karting prior to racing stock cars for several years and making a transition to road racing in 2006 Powell won three NASA championships and was selected Mazda's prestigious annual "Mazda Road To 24 Shootout" for the past two years in a row. "The opportunity to race in Pirelli World Challenge next year with a championship-proven team is a dream come true for me and something I have been working toward for a long time!" said Powell. "Kevin and the whole Tech Sport Racing crew's commitment to winning gives me a lot of confidence going into the 2016 season. I can't wait to get started and hopefully repay all of their hard work. The Mazda MX-5 platform is pretty familiar to me and to be able to continue my relationship with Mazda is very important to me as well." AWOLPHOTO.COM 13
