Team Falken Looks to Repeat History at ‘The Gaunlet’ as it Goes For Overall Win Again & 3 in a Row
June 3rd, 2010
FONTANA, CA – Having already taken both wins at the start of this year’s Formula Drift Championship, Team Falken is looking to go three-for-three as it heads to “The Gauntlet” at New Jersey’s Wall Speedway, where it took all three top positions in last year’s event.
Darren McNamara, Vaughn Gittin, Jr., and Tyler McQuarrie swept the podium in last year’s round 3 – a history-making event as it was the first time ever for three Team Falken cars to take the top three positions as well as the first time one team dominated the championship round, and all three drivers return this year ready to defend their positions, or possibly improve upon them.
Team Falken has seized control of the 2010 Formula Drift Championship, having won the first two events – at Long Beach and Road Atlanta – and looking to go for its third win of the young season. Currently, Gittin, Jr., winner at Long Beach in his Monster Energy/Ford Racing Mustang, heads the field of competitors with a dominating lead, followed by Falken’s Dai Yoshihara, driving the Discount Tire Nissan Silvia S13, winner at Atlanta. “So far, this has been a strong season for us, as everything seems to be coming together,” said Andrew Hoit, Falken’s Director of Marketing, a sentiment echoed by Jonathon Bradford, Falken’s Drift Team Supervisor. “Our Falken Azenis RT-615K tires are performing extremely well, giving our drivers the perfect combo of grip and control,” Bradford declared.
