10. Taguchi vs. Aasbo – My Favorite Battle
This took my heart for favorite battle of the weekend even though it was one of the more low key battles of the night. I think it stole the show for me as I had a much lower expectation that it would be a throw down compared to other matchups on the night.

TRENT BEECHUM IS CROWNED PRO2 CHAMPION AND CHELSEA DENOFA WINS PRO CATEGORY AS FORMULA DRIFT STORMS INTO TEXAS
The 2019 Formula DRIFT Black Magic PRO Championship and Formula DRIFT Link ECU PRO2 Championship set up camp this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway near Dallas for the Advance Auto Parts Showdown presented by Rain-X. As the final round for the Link ECU PRO2 Championship, and with 12 drivers having a mathematical chance of taking the title, the capacity crowd was guaranteed intense entertainment. It was also the penultimate round of the PRO category, with the top six drivers separated by just 76 points, so there would be a lot of pressure on the top teams to try to break away from the pack.
