Formula Drift New Jersey Recap: Words from Matt Field

This past weekend was a thrill having Matt Field back on track for another Formula Drift spectacle. Some of may have already heard that the car didn't fair too well in Florida. Matt's S14 was plagued with fuel system issues that ended his single qualifying session with a low score eliminating him from the Round 3. Instead of packing up, Matt, his family and crew made the best of the weekend by troubleshooting the car until issue was repaired. Their commitment  paid off as he hit the ground running hard at New Jersey's Wall Speedway. Only here will you be getting the words, straight from Matt...

Matt Field New Jersey Vids @ Round 5 Wall Speedway

A round of applause to Matt Field for making top 16 today. This being his second top 16 this season, it's definitely a big accomplishment for the new up-an-comer. Matt handled it against Kenny Moen and left a piece of his rear bumper there.



2nd round eliminations was a bit harder to swallow. Matt Field tried to keep it together and keep his drift precise and clean. Unfortunately, toward the end of his leading run, his spinout eliminated him from gaining top 8. Matt's proving to be a truly talented driver. See you guys in Washington!
