Manteca native Scott Speed earned his second consecutive Global Rallycross Championship title when he drove his Andretti Motorsports No. 41 Beetle GRC to a second-place finish in Sunday’s GRC finale in Los Angeles. Speed’s Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross teammate Tanner Foust entered Sunday’s race with a narrow lead over Speed after winning Saturday’s opening leg of the weekend twin bill, however, the margin was small enough that the championship would go to whichever driver finished ahead of the other on Sunday.
