OK, not really but a rally driver is involved. In the May issue of Grassroots Motorsports a small bit is wriiten that now that Pontiac has left NASCAR they have chosen to enter the new Pontiac GTO in the Formula D drift series with Rhys Millen driving.

Yup,

but thats a drifting competition, not a rally circut.

Nope. Drifting.

The GTO was on display at SEMA IAS in LA this past weekend and Rhys was there talking about it. Nice looking car. Jankowski's Neon was there, Ford's display was mostly rally oriented (WRC), Saturn had the ION Rally Concept on display, etc. Dodge had big banners in the lobby with the words "DRAG, RALLY, DRIFT" on them with pics of the corresponding Mopar stickered vehicle. I handed out as many Mazdaspeed hero cards as I had printed.

Also saw Steve Johnson, Pierre Kleinubing, TriPoint Racing and many drag racers there.
