Atwood Claims Second at New Orleans Motorsports Park

In Avondale, Louisiana, Koda Atwood raced in the Optima USCA GTS class at New Orleans Motorsports Park. He competed in a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance against a field of Chevrolet Corvettes. Intermittent rain made the course slippery and unpredictable. Atwood also faced low power due to distant charging stations. Even with these setbacks, he secured second place with a time of 49.368—just 0.125 seconds behind first place.

Falken Autocross Wins Driven by RT660+

“Our team performed well this past weekend, and all the races were very competitive, with times being as close as a tenth of a second from each other,” said Gerald Alvarado, Falken’s Motorsports & Events Supervisor. “We can always count on the team to push the limits and showcase the abilities of the new Azenis RT660+ tires, and it’s also great to see our tires run throughout the country.”
