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.”
