TEAM FALKEN’S MATT FIELD TAKES POINTS LEAD IN FORMULA DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER ROUND 4 HALFWAY POINT

Posted on June 16, 2022 by George

ENGLISHTOWN, NJ – As the Formula Drift season reaches midway, Team Falken’s Matt Field has assumed the top rung in the points championship on the strength of his fourth place finish following Round 4 at “The Gauntlet,” held at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park this past weekend. In addition, Falken Tires is at the top of the leader board in the Tire Cup Championship for 2022.
 
The fourth sold-out event of the season saw 36 drivers attempt to qualify for 32 positions. Nevertheless, Team Falken did well in qualifying with Dylan Hughes, fresh off his win in Round 3 at Orlando, in 3rd; Justin Pawlak, 6th; Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis, 9th; and Field in 18th. All drivers advanced to the Top 16 but only Field moved to the Top 4 where he finished 4th.
 
“The fact that this weekend’s top two spots were claimed by independent drivers who had never been to the Formula D Pro podium before speaks volumes about how every team has advanced by mid-season,” exclaimed Gerald Alvarado, Falken’s Supervisor, Passenger Car Motorsports and Events. “But, as always, it’s about points. How many you acquire at each event; how many you walk away with at the end of the year. Right now, with Matt, we’re sitting on top, and that’s where we intend to stay.”
 
“Despite qualifying 18th, my car performed well during the runs and was hooked to the pavement with our Falken Azenis tires,” added Field. “Old Bridge Township Raceway Park is an amazing track; it’s a purpose-built drift arena, the first of its kind in the U.S., and the figure-8 layout is amazing. It made for a lot of fast corners and close action. We suffered some damage as a result, but continued. And everyone benefitted from the great crowds cheering us on the whole weekend.”

And it’s a great place to start another year of epic drift battles after the traditional season-opener on the Streets of Long Beach was rescheduled to September 17-18.
