But Michael made a good race and be second before Andreas Eriksson that get a flat tire in the A-final. Now he is in second place in the championship.
Thousands of fans packed into the century-old Old Mill industrial complex this Friday and Saturday, near Seattle, for the second round of Global RallyCross Championship racing. Foust piloted his Rockstar Energy Drink Ford Fiesta to the win in an all-star, six-car final that had the crowd up on their feet and cheering during close calls, multi-car jumps, and narrow passes.
“There’s a lot of adrenaline in this sport. That was an amazing final race and I can’t believe it was only five laps – it seemed like 50,” said Foust. “Everything hits the fan in only a couple of minutes and it’s over.”
The inventive Twin Peaks course featured hairpin turns, a 70-foot gap jump and competition that ran right through a century-old warehouse. Spectators could see it all from the grandstands and were treated to aggressive, non-stop racing all day long.
“People in the Seattle area love motorsports,” said Foust. “The crowd was great here.”
In the final, Foust’s teammate Andreas Eriksson was first off the line in his Best Buy Ford Fiesta, and he was looking strong until he tagged the wall of the warehouse entrance and flattened a tire. Struggling to keep his car under control, Eriksson dropped back two positions to ultimately finish third, behind Swedish rallycross veteran Michael Jernberg in his Skoda Fabia.

In addition to X-game finale that is the three pieces of double races to be run ..
- Fun with a new country, new drivers and it is also a fun challenge for me, "says Michael.
Europe, he has not forgotten, but says if it would feel nice to run EM again, he may well start to drive <EM igen 2012. Men det beror helt på om han känner sig sugen igen.
I will drive Skoda this year, Skoda is not sold in the U.S., Skoda will not sponsor me j years, but  it stands ready to run with and I do not have time to build another car.
