In its third 1-2 finish of the season, Volkswagen Andretti #rallycross earned a fourth-consecutive championship for #scottspeed, wrapping up a nearly perfect Americas #rallycross seasonHerndon, VA — In another display of the team’s strength, Volkswagen Andretti #rallycross completed the inaugural season of the Americas #rallycross Championship (ARX) with a 1-2 finish at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) this weekend. #tannerfoust made a near clean sweep of the #Event, earning a top qualifying spot before winning his Semifinal heat and the Final—his second #Event win of the season. #scottspeed fought back to finish second in the Final, securing his, and the team’s, fourth-consecutive #rallycross championship.
After a series of disappointing Qualifying Heat results, Speed's grasp of the championship lead seemed tenuous. While Foust marched to two straight Qualifying wins, Speed was mired in sEventh-place in the standings, before a victory in Q4 boosted him to second behind teammate Foust. The No. 41 Oberto Circle K Beetle #rallycross driver converted pole-position in his Semifinal to a win, all but guaranteeing the championship victory.
“It’s been an incredible four years with this team, and I’m so happy to win another championship with everyone from Volkswagen and Andretti,” said Speed. “We’ve worked so hard to develop this program and these cars—I feel like I've grown a lot as a driver, too—so it's amazing to reap the rewards of all that effort with the amazing results we've gotten."
