[h=2]PRO MAZDA: Robb to race with World Speed Motorsports[/h] RACER Staff


World Speed Motorsports has announced that 15 year-old Sting Ray Robb will compete in the Pro Mazda Championship presented by Cooper Tires for the 2017 season.


"Sting Ray has an impressive racing background," World Speed Motorsports president Telo Stewart said. "In addition to an incredible karting resume, Sting Ray ran a limited schedule with us last year in the Formula Car Challenge, and is a proven winner. Sting Ray is ready for PMC and we are looking forward to helping him achieve his goals on the Mazda Road to Indy." The first race of the season takes place at the Grand Prix of Saint Petersburg in March.
At just 15, Robb has already amassed an impressive resume. He has earned Skip Barber Rookie of the Year honors, a race win in the Formula Car Challenge FormulaSPEED class and a podium finish in his first outing in Pro Formula Mazda. He competed in three NASCAR K&N Pro Series events in 2016, making him the youngest-ever competitor in that series.
"Moving from karts to cars over the last two years has been a whirlwind as I've explored nearly every venue; everything from Corvettes to Pro Mazda, paved and dirt modified cars, as well as NASCAR road and oval track cars," Robb said. " Racing under the tutelage of Telo Stewart at World Speed Motorsports in the FormulaSPEED during this past season was an awesome experience and provided some clarity for my future plans.
"As one of the youngest competitors in the Pro Mazda Championship, I know there is still a lot to learn and accomplish, a challenge I am very excited about."
