The 2014 season officially got underway for the JDC MotorSports Pro Mazda Championship program with a solid effort by the multiple series champion in the inaugural Cooper Tires Winterfest. The ‘warm-up’ events leading up to the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires series this season saw American Michael Johnson impress the paddock in his series debut, securing top-10 finishes at both NOLA Motorsports Park (February 21-22) and Barber Motorsports Park (February 25-26), while fellow American up-and-comer Kyle Connery cracked the top-10 in his lone event in Alabama.
