SPEED GETS NITRO RX DAY ONE TOP SPOT IN CONTROVERSIAL FINISH

Scott Speed emerged as top qualifier at the Nitro Rallycross season finale at The Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park following a post-race penalty for Timmy Hansen.
Hansen won the Battle Bracket final ahead of Speed, passing him late on the track’s final asphalt section, making heavy contact with the Subaru driver in the process.
The move, which resulted in the front bumper of Hansen’s Peugeot completely detaching, was judged to have featured all four tires off the track during the pass, prompting a reversal of the result once the checkered flag fell.
