This special event was held at the Irwindale Speedway on Thursday, just before the big NASCAR race weekend at California Speedway, and was a duel between experienced drifters and seasoned NASCAR drivers. It was more of a fun event then a competition, and the NASCAR fans outnumbered the drift fans by a large margin. There were huge lines for the autograph session just before the main event.


Drifting is gaining popularity and attracting some of NASCAR's huge fan base was a smart idea. We're pretty sure you'll be seeing more drivers crossing over into drifting, even if just for fun, in the near future.
