One More Time!

This past weekend, I was in beautiful Irwindale, CA. at the Toyota Speedway for the Formula Drift Finals. And what a weekend it was. Congrats to Tanner Foust for winning the Formula Drift Championship once again. This championship marks the first time anyone has won the championship in back to back seasons. Way to make history, Tanner and thanks for giving Toyo Tires a back to back championship. Many thanks for fellow Toyo Tires driver, Takatori for knocking out Sam Hubinette in the great 8 round handing Tanner the championship.
