Yes, that’s right and you know what that means: a huge Hot Wheels race track, a free-for-everyone Car show, Racing Simulators, free Japanese-inspired snacks, a photo booth, track-driven Mazda racecars, and our BSI Racing friends in tow along with other fun activities that you should check out for yourself.

Why? Because it’s better to show than tell, of course.

The huge Hot Wheels racetrack reinvigorates itself once more for another outing this year. Expect intense, racing action. Bring your own Hot Wheels toy or pick up a new one through the Hot Wheels vendor at the event.

Three Straight Years for Mazda in Safety!

Well, well, well….would you look at that? This marks three consecutive years where Mazda has debuted as industry leader in the highest tier of IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Awards.

For 2026, Mada earned EIGHT Top Safety Pick+ Awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) more than any other brand!

Here’s the lineup bringing home top honors:

• Mazda3 Sedan

• Mazda3 Hatchback

• Mazda CX-30

• Mazda CX-50

• Mazda CX-70 & Mazda CX-70 PHEV

• Mazda CX-90 & Mazda CX-90 PHEV

That’s a full lineup, from compact to full-size three-row SUVs, all meeting the highest safety standard available. And what’s even more impressive?

The standards keep getting more stringent and the rules more exact. IIHS placed a larger emphasis on protecting the rear-seats as well as pedestrians outside the vehicle, and guess what?

Mazda was among the best of the best.

And even more exciting, many of these safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure assist, and more come STANDARD across the Mazda lineup.

With more than 90 IIHS Safety Awards since 2008, Mazda’s approach has been pretty clear.

Design safe cars that people love to drive. And by golly, they’ve done it!

All-New Mazda CX-5 goes HOLLYWOOD!

So, you know whenever there’s a new generation of a beloved model, it’s a big deal. We’ve talked about the Mazda CX-5 often, and with plenty of good reasons. It’s practicality, adaptability, and sleek looks have aged like a fine wine.

But hey, all good things must come to an end and so we as bid adieu to the previous generation of the CX-5, Mazda USA has been welcoming the exciting all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 with these colorful commercials, inspired by different Hollywood films!

Check out the 5 Sides of the CX-5 here!

1. MORE DISCOVERY

2. MORE SAFETY

3. MORE PASSION

4. MORE CONNECTION

5. MORE CONTROL

The point is to showcase how the all-new Mazda CX-5 can fit in your life no matter what you’re up to OR, where you are in life currently.

At least, that’s what the mini-movies made me feel so there’s my interpretation, but you should decide for yourself.

Come check out the all-new Mazda CX-5 while you go to the Race Exhibition this weekend. I mean…why not? It’s free.
