The 2014 Vegas ProAm competition season is officially over.

Texas Motor Speedway was the 3rd stop on the Formula Drift Pro 2 schedule this past weekend. With one more round to go in the Formula Drift season after Texas, the results of Pro 2 Round 3 were bound to mix up the points just enough to make for an exciting race for the championship. Geoff Stoneback is currently on top of the points, with 6 drivers nipping at his heels for the title.

We are out here at Texas Motor Speedway for Formula Drift Round 6, and the Pro 2 qualifying results are in.
