  • Tanner Foust claims hard-fought podium finish at inaugural Nitro Rallycross

    Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross battled a tough track and intense competition to gain a top finishing position in their first visit to the Nitro World Games.


    After a difficult weekend that showcased the best of the team's determination, speed, and hard work, Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross' Tanner Foust grabbed a third-place finish in a wild Nitro Rallycross Final. A coming together of the race leaders on Lap One knocked Scott Speed out of the event and opened the door for a hard-charging Foust to reach the bottom step of the podium.

    Foust's weekend was anything but easy, and the #34 Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle Rallycross crew was kept busy repairing damage caused by the extreme track and close racing. Foust won his Challenger Heat despite an injured car, and mechanics from both sides of the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross garage worked together under immense time pressure to prepare the multiple-time rallycross champion's Beetle for the Semifinal.

    In the Final, Foust started in the back half of the field only to emerge from the first-lap chaos in third-place. Despite sustaining damage in the melee, the #34 Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle Rallycross chased down the leaders but was unable to make up track position before the checkered flag.
