Rhys Millen took first place at Round 5 of Formula Drift held at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. Considering Rhys might have not even been able to compete this Formula D season after fracturing five vertebrae in his back practicing for a Red Bull stunt, Millen is doing exceptionally well. Sam Hubinette took the overall points lead from last year’s Formula D Champion Tanner Foust and with only two events left this season, it’s still anyone’s game. Next Formula Drift event is September 13 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA.
