According to reports in the Monterey Herald and elsewhere, the renowned Laguna Seca road course could be getting a new title sponsor by April 1.

Published reports indicate that the Monterey County Board of Supervisors is considering a five-year, $5 million rights deal that would see the track renamed WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca.

WeatherTech, which also sponsors the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, is owned by Illinois-based MacNeil Automotive Products.

WeatherTech would replace Mazda, which told track operators that it would end its 17-year sponsorship of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca when its contract expires March 31.
