A three-time U.S. rallycross champion (2010, 2011, 2012) and a two-time Formula Drift champion (2007, 2008), Tanner Foust has solidified his reputation as a formidable force in motorsports and entertainment. Foust began his professional racing career in 2003, swiftly transitioning to stunt driving for Hollywood productions in California. His early career saw him accumulate significant accolades, including four X Games gold medals (2007, 2010, 2013), a silver medal in 2008, and two bronze medals in 2009 and 2013 across various Rally and Gymkhana Grid disciplines.
He also represented the USA multiple times in the annual Race of Champions (2008, 2009, 2010). Foust further cemented his status by becoming the first American driver to win a round of the European Rallycross Championship, finishing in the top three overall for both the 2011 and 2012 seasons, earning a silver medal in 2011. Between 2010 and 2016, Foust gained widespread recognition as a co-host of the American version of the popular motoring television series, Top Gear, on the History Channel. During this period, he also achieved multiple world records, including performing the Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare in 2012, where he drove a car through a 66-foot loop-the-loop.
In recent years, Foust expanded his acting credits with a role as ‘Bucknum’ in the Oscar-winning film Ford v Ferrari (2019), for which he also served as a stunt driver. His stunt work continued with the critically acclaimed John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023). Demonstrating his enduring presence in competitive motorsports, Foust competed for the NEOM McLaren Extreme E Team in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, achieving significant podium finishes, including a second-place at the 2022 Energy X-Prix. He also secured a Nitrocross championship in 2019, further adding to his extensive list of career titles.
