Good morning!

Following a month-long hiatus, Formula Drift is back in action this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Jumping back into his Mustang RTR Spec 5-D yesterday, it was clear that Chelsea had no rust to shake as he immediately, and in Chelsea fashion, was treating Thursday practice like Saturday finals. His high-speed show continues today with a morning practice session followed by qualifying this afternoon.
