Vaughn Gittin Jr Gets New Monster Drift Mustang
By TMN Staff
Professional Drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. announced today a multi-year partnership with Monster Energy to serve as co-primary sponsor on Gittin’s 2011 Monster Energy/Falken Tire Ford Mustang that competes on the Formula Drift series. Gittin, a former world champion, is entering his seventh season on the popular Formula Drift series.
“Monster Energy is a leading supporter of motorsports across the globe, so to bring them into Drifting in a big way is huge for the sport,” said Gittin, Jr., 29, of Joppa, Md. “It is an honor to join the long list of elite athletes that represent Monster Energy. Between Monster Energy, Team Falken Tire, and our Ford Racing 5.0L 2011 Mustang, we have everything we need be a competitive force in the Formula Drift Championship this season.”
Gittin Jr., known as “JR” in the sport, has become one of drifting’s most iconic figures and his machine, the 680HP Ford Mustang GT, one of the sport’s most identifiable cars. Gittin is known best by his aggressive, foot-to-the-floor, big-smoke driving style. Being such a fierce competitor, Gittin is known as the only American to beat the Japanese at their own game in winning a D1 Grand Prix competition, not once – but twice. In 2005, Gittin stunned the world when he won the D1GP USA vs. Japan event. In 2007, he brought America home the gold once more by winning the D1GP World Championship. Gittin has earned five career podiums in the Formula Drift series, which has cemented itself as the premier Drifting series in the world.
“Vaughn’s talent, passion, and drive make him one of the most unique and charismatic personalities in all of Drifting,” said Mike Vicente, Monster Energy’s Motorsports Marketing Director. “For these reasons, Vaughn is a perfect ambassador to help Monster Energy make an immediate impact on the sport. Vaughn goes above and beyond by pushing the limits of traditional sponsorship by creating unique concepts and programs, yet still retaining his grassroots connection to the sport.”
