The 2019 racing season has come to a close across the nation, and the Teen Mazda Challenge enjoys its first season after a national rollout. Northern California, the region in which the TMC began had the biggest field of TMC drivers in the country. Ten drivers vied for the championship in 2019.

In NASA NorCal, driver Roy Fulmer IV staged a dominant performance, beating every TMC competitor in every race he entered. Fulmer bested second place Wyatt Couch and third place David Tooker. Fulmer also was the Spec Miata regional champion in NorCal.

In the second largest TMC region, the NASA SoCal, Teen Mazda driver Hannah Grisham also took the Teen Mazda Challenge and the SoCal regional championship. Grisham won six of 12 races and maintained a healthy lead over second place Chase Gilhart and third place Eric Slivkoff.
