Rockstar Energy Drink Driver Tanner Foust 
in European Championship Contention After Round 4
Rockstar Energy Drink Driver Tanner Foust once again put on a spectacular show for fans of the European Rallycross Championship
at Round 4 in Hell, Norway. The American driver set top times and was
the fastest in the third qualifying heat to best hometown favorite—and
defending champion—Sverre Isachsen. The series visited a new track for
this round, Lånkebanen at Hell, near Trondheim. Featuring huge elevation
changes and a turn similar to Laguna Seca's famed "Corkscrew," the
pressure was on for strong, technical driving. But during the A-Main
final race, Foust's throttle stuck open and a bump by another competitor
sent him flying into the wall at 60 mph. Although he was largely
uninjured, the vehicle was damaged and he was unable to finish the race.
He scored sixth-place points for the event.
