Long Beach, Calif. \u2013 September 12, 2014 \u2013 Formula DRIFT PRO 2 continued the season at Texas Motor Speedway with the third of four rounds of competition. Brandon Wicknick in the Driftmotion D-Spare Nissan 2JZ S13 takes the victory.<\/p>\n

PRO 2 continued today at Texas Motor Speedway. PRO 2 was introduced as an intermediary series between the Formula DRIFT Pro-Am and Pro Championship to help drivers get acclimated to the competition level and venues, while gaining valuable experience. As the first year of the PRO 2, drivers that are eligible include both licensed Pro-Am and Pro Championship drivers. Drivers were also given the option to compete in both PRO 2 and the Pro Championship.

\"259\"The finals pitted Nate Hamilton in the One44 Motorsports \/ Enkei Nissan 240SX against Wicknick. Unfortunately, Hamilton\u2019s vehicle had mechanical issues and was not able to make it to the line giving the victory to Wicknick. James Evans in the Sikky Manufacturing Nissan 350Z rounded out the podium in third place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy about winning. It\u2019s been a long time coming,\u201d said Brandon Wicknick, winner of Round 3 of PRO 2. \u201cObviously there were circumstances that lead up to the finals that weren\u2019t ideal as I would of liked to fight harder for the win, but I can\u2019t complain. I\u2019m super happy and I\u2019m proud of our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
