  For Immediate Release October 10, 2014 Formula DRIFT PRO 2 Round 4 at Irwindale Speedway Results; Jeff Jones Takes Competition Victory and Dan Savage is Crowned PRO 2 Champion Long Beach, Calif. – October 10, 2014 – Formula DRIFT PRO 2 finished the season at Irwindale Speedway with final round of 2014. Jeff Jones in the CX Racing Nissan S14 takes the event victory, while Dan Savage in the Sikky Manufacturing Mazda RX-8 is crowned PRO 2 champion. PRO 2 finished its inaugural season at Irwindale 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. The finals pitted Jeff Jones against Dan Savage. Savage on his chase run crashed giving Jones his first ever competition victory. Brandon Wicknick in the Driftmotion D-Spare Nissan 2JZ S13 rounded out the podium in third place. "This is not only my first time qualifying for the Pro Championship and for PRO 2 we were on fire," said Jeff Jones, winner of Round 4 of PRO 2. "This is just killer to have the car dialed in. I just wish we could reset this season, but I can not wait for next year." In a tightly fought championship chase, Dan Savage edged out the point leader, Geoff Stoneback with his second place podium finish to win the PRO 2 championship by a mere 5.50 points. "Its surreal knowing that it was that close coming into it," says Dan Savage, 2014 PRO 2 Champion. "Being here at Irwindale ten years ago and seeing what drifting was for the first time that it is numbing knowing that I made it here at this track."
