With a strong run throughout the 2024 Toyota GR Cup North America season, female driver Mia Lovell is set to advance to bigger and faster cars. Taking advantage of the Copeland Motorsports and Nitro Motorsports alliance program, Lovell will be the first benefactor making the move to the Trans Am Presented by Pirelli TA2 program.

“Our alliance is working, and Mia is proof of that,” explained Dean Copeland. “Mia has earned her stripes in GR Cup this season, and we are happy to see her graduate to TA2 in 2025. She has consistently been the fastest and highest finishing female in the series and has had her elbows out competing at the front of the field.”

Set to race with the Nitro Motorsports effort, Lovell will battle the TA2 Western Championship program and select races in the National Championship. Graduating from the Copeland Motorsports effort, Dean Copeland and the team are proud of her growth both on and off the track.

Copeland continued, “Mia took full advantage of the championship program we offer, learned a ton, and put all those good things into her 2024 race season. She was able to benefit from and improve our multi-driver program. A step up in speed and a bigger car will be great for her and while we wish her nothing but success, we still have a job to do at the final GR Cup Series event of the season.”

With an off-season test program still being put together, Lovell will make her series debut in 2025. Focusing on the Western Championship, Mia will get up to speed early, before taking part in select National Championship events.
