King VW

Volkswagen has accomplished another memorable achievement with Rallycross driver Scott Speed bringing home back to back second-place finishes at Belle Isle Park in Detroit. After facing a multitude of mechanical issues, Speed battled his way back up close to the top.

“I wish they had let Sunday’s final run without a restart because I think we would have had a better shot, but Patrik (Sandell) had us by a little bit all weekend and deserved to win,” said Speed. “Coming away with two podium finishes is great for our championship points, and now we’ll be looking forward to the D.C. race and hopefully a win.”

The team’s other driver, Tanner Foust, also had an extremely impressive weekend until being unable to finish due to crashes.
