King VW

We knew a win for Volkswagen was practically a given for the 2015 Red Bull Global Rallycross, but we weren’t sure who was going to cross the finish line first. Well, the results are in and Scott Speed is the official winner!

“I’m at a loss for words when it comes to describing how it feels to win the championship this season,” said Speed, soon after crossing the finish line in Vegas. “The whole Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team has worked so hard for this result; I’m incredibly proud of this team and am so happy to have been able to bring home the top spot for them.”

Fellow teammate Tanner Foust congratulated his teammate and celebrated the fifth victory for the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team. This is only the second year of competition for the team and yet they grabbed the most wins out of any team.

“This was a challenging season, but a hard-earned one that the VARX team is extremely proud of,” said Clark Campbell, General Manager Experiential Marketing Volkswagen of America, Inc. “The Beetle GRC cars, with Scott and Tanner behind their wheels, have proven themselves a champion, and a fan-favorite.  I would also like to thank the organization behind the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship. It is not an easy task to stage these events, but the increased viewership and media attention demonstrate that GRC is a series to be taken seriously, and one we are proud to be a part of.”
