The great NASCAR conspiracy has been traveling around for sometime now in Drifting circles around the nation. We just may have found the men who are going to make it all come true. That is Daijiro Yoshihara and Rhys Millen standing at Bristol Motorspeedway (a legendary bullring 1/2 mile oval) used in NASCAR.

The track did give Rhys and Dai some chances to drive on the track as well. The Bristol race is August 23rd, and if Drifting is going on you need to not worry…..Wrecked Magazine will be there. Stay tuned for updates.

After Formula D Atlanta the RMR Drifting crew consisting of Rhys Millen (Pontiac Solstice) and Daijiro Yoshihara (Pontiac GTO) headed to Bridgestone North America for a demo on the streets in front of their headquarters. Daijiro and Rhys loved a chance to have the streets closed and tear up Nashville, Tennessee!

Here is Daijiro ripping it up in his new GTO for 2008 on the streets.

Bridgestone got the road closed in front of the complex and the RMR crew left them a parting gift.

Here is the Bridgestone team after the event. We need more companies doing fun demos in the parking lot and streets around their offices!

Oh man, the movie exceeded all expectations that I think any of us had when we sat down for this one. Stay Hungry puts the last film somewhere in the past and entertains and enlightens any Drifting fan on things such as Hook and Slide! How can you miss great information like that? Andy did an AMAZING job and so did the whole DA crew. Daijiro Yoshihara, Tanner Foust, and many other FD drivers joined the mix to enjoy the event at the MAC.

The top 16 had some great tandem battles like Darren McNamara and Kyle Mohan in the first round and even some big shockers through the event. The drivers that were able to last managed to keep their car in one piece all weekend and perform with perfection in mind due to the lack of room for error on the streets of Long Beach, California. Here is how the top 4 finished out.
