For Immediate Release:
Lake Forest, Calif. – August 12, 2009

Evergreen Speedway, located in the heart of Monroe, Washington, hosted the highly anticipated Round 5 of the Formula Drift Championship. With the car prepped after a strong performance at the Las Vegas Event, the Dynamic Autosports / Hankook Tire Drift Team arrives in full force ready to practice on the Washington State high speed course. Robbie Nishida completed several laps around the track and comfortably moved onto the qualifying round for the main 32-car event. With a strong performance by the drivers, who are equipped with the ultra high performing Hankook Ventus RS-3 Tires, the entire Hankook Tire Drift Team qualified into the main event, securing strong positions for the main competition the following day.

In the Top 32, Robbie took on Joon Maeng; Robbie led first with a deep angled drift along the high section of the bank with Joon close by. Robbie chased Joon on the second run, staying only inches behind, and during the infield transition Joon slipped wide on a corner and Robbie went for the pass, sealing his victory. Robbie moved onto the Top 16.

In the Top 16, Robbie faced Ryan Tuerck beginning with Robbie chasing closely behind Tuerck, and Tuerck scrubbed the wall. After leading a strong chase, Robbie finished in the Top 16 in the event and remains the Top Hankook Driver and a season contender for the championship in points overall at a strong standing of 7th place out of 45 drivers.
