This past Saturday I headed out to the Toyota Speedway in Irwindale for the final event of the Formula DRIFT season. The event was completely sold out and not only set attendance records for Irwindale Speedway, but for being the largest Formula DRIFT event in history as well!
Daijiro Yoshihara was a favorite to take the championship, but the 5 point leaders were close enough to make the event extremely exciting up until the final round. Perhaps the most surprising moment of the night was when Dai was knocked out of the Top 16, leaving the championship up for grabs. In the end, Dai narrowly maintained his points lead, and went on to claim his first championship ever as well as the Tires.com Triple Crown!
