鈥淭he drifting fans in the Pacific Northwest prove to be some of the most diehard and enthusiastic in the nation,鈥 said Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. 鈥淭he drifting market is thriving in the area as was evident by the increased attendance from last season, despite two major sporting events occurring simultaneously.鈥

Round 4: Throwdown brought exciting drifting action back to the Pacific Northwest with Tanner Foust in the Rockstar Energy Scion TC taking his first victory of the season moving him into second place overall in the Pro Championship standings. Foust also takes the lead in the second event of the Tires.com Triple Crown with the win.
