IT FEELS LIKE HOME: Matt Bell won’t have far to travel this weekend. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is Bell’s home track. He resides in nearby San Mateo, California with his wife Brittany.

A LOOK BACK AT LAGUNA THROUGH THE YEARS: Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca has traditionally been a great track for the Stevenson Motorsports group. Matt Bell and John Edwards scored back-to-back wins for the team at the track in 2011 & 2012 and then followed that up with a second place finish in 2013. Last year, Stevenson Motorsports experienced a few setbacks in the race that saw them finish off of the Laguna podium for the first time and the squad looks for redemption in its return to Monterey this weekend.
