Drivers running on Motegi Racing wheels came up big at the Summer X Games 17 by sweeping the podium with first-, second- and third- place finishes.

With the streets of downtown Los Angeles turned into a three-quarter mile street course, Brian Deegan overcame mechanical issues and ran a near-perfect race and experienced his first X Games RallyCross victory when he snuck past his opponents in the first turn when two cars crashed into each other.

Next to cross the finish line was World Rally champion Tanner Foust in his Motegi-outfitted Ford Fiesta. Foust is a three-time X Games gold medalist and two-time Formula Drift champion. Rounding out the podium was Marcus Gronholm – also a World Rally champion.

“Motegi Racing is excited about sponsoring these drivers and their vehicles,” says marketing manager Chris Anderson. “They are all hard-charging competitors and we are thrilled to be a part of their success.”

Anderson reports that “our technology and design follows a true philosophy of pure performance, allowing the form of the wheel to follow the function necessary to succeed in different racing environments.”
