Hankook Looks to Take Home-Town Event at Formula Drift Race This Weekend in New Jersey
Formula Drift Round Three “The Gauntlet” hits Wall Speedway
WAYNE, N.J. June 5, 2009 – With only seven rounds in the Formula Drift season, drivers need to make a big impact in the standings by the end of Round Three which creates an exciting backdrop for this weekend’s Formula Drift event at Wall Speedway in Wall Township, N.J. With Hankook Tire’s North American Headquarters located nearby in Wayne, N.J., Hankook’s sponsored drivers have extra incentive to make their mark this weekend.
Looking to not only defend his 2008 Formula Drift Championship, Papadakis Racing’s Tanner Foust is also looking to keep a hold on his New Jersey title as the defending champion from last year’s event. Foust is currently sitting in 5th place overall in points and a podium finish by the Rockstar/Scion tC this weekend could easily vault him to the top of the standings.
