DeNofa wins his Third Round in 2023 to lead the Championship

 In a season that didn’t see a repeat winner until Round 6, DeNofa has now claimed his third victory and extended his lead in the 2023 Formula DRIFT PRO Championship to 53 points.

DeNofa triumphed in the Final against Field following a high-speed collision into Outside Zone 1 when the Corvette appeared to find grip and speared the rear of the Mustang. After repairs were made, DeNofa did enough on the second run to claim victory.

RTR Motorsports drivers have won five of the seven rounds. Field and Bakchis are the only other winners. Aasbo and Olsen have yet to claim victory.

Field’s second-place finish jumps him from fourth to second in the Championship chase. However, the substantial points difference to DeNofa will be difficult to overcome during the Final Round at Irwindale Speedway on October 13-14. Difficult, but not impossible, as history has proved…

Olsen eliminated team leader Aurimas Bakchis (Lithuania) on his way to third, elevating himself to third in the Championship, 77 points behind DeNofa. In his first year driving the Team Feal Nissan, Olsen retains a mathematical chance of winning the title.
