Tanner Foust (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/06/tanner-foust-shreds-at-ken-block-invitational-gymkhana-grid/) has carved out a place for himself in motorsports lore as a preternaturally talented drifter and rally racer. Partnered with Ford, Foust has raced in both the European RallyCross Championship and the brand-new Global RallyCross Championship, and dominated ESPN's X-Games. Now, Foust has made the partnership last by signing a multi-year contract to drive for Ford.
Foust's new long-term deal has him at the wheel of his familiar Rockstar Energy-sponsored 2011 Ford Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta) in both the European RallyCross Championship and the inaugural season of the Global RallyCross Championship. Foust is also headed to X-Games (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/01/x-games-16-rally-offers-up-plenty-of-high-lows-and-double-gold/) 17 in July to defend his double gold-medal run from last year and his title as the most-decorated rally driver in X-Games (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/01/x-games-16-rally-offers-up-plenty-of-high-lows-and-double-gold/) history.
As well as his role as Ford's RallyCross and X-Games pilot, Foust is bringing his talent and fame along to help launch the 2012 Ford Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/model/focus) ST, Dearborn's upcoming 2.0-liter EcoBoost-powered hot hatch.
