The series, which competes on tracks throughout North America, came with a Mazda development driver contract for the 2016 series in the newly developed MX-5 cup car, and $100,000 which, sadly, is not Foley\u2019s to spend \u2013 it goes back into racing development.<\/p>\n<p>Foley has also been named as a development driver in the Mazda Road to 24 competition, which is a ladder system that gives drivers the goal of competing in the Mazda SKYACTIV prototype. The Randolph, New Jersey, native began his racing career at an early age in carts, driving competitively at 8 years old, and never left the track. At Auburn he belongs to the Formula SAE team, where his specialty is driver development.<\/p>\n<p>He was leading by a point going into the last race of the season at Road Atlanta, but knew he had to finish ahead of the second-place driver to win the series. That driver was leading Foley going into the last lap . . . but he passed him with three corners to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt that I was in a good place,\u201d Foley said of the series-winning race. \u201cThe 11 corner is just a bend in the straightaway, so I was looking ahead to 10 and 12, and felt I could catch him there.
