Shows the potential for speed but has had predictably mixed results, with plenty of crashes. In Oct. 2010, he became just the second American to score WRC points (2 points for 9th place: Spain.) A three-time XG Rally Car medalist, he earned global fame due to his incredible promotional efforts, including Gymkhana Practice (2008) and Gymkhana II: the Infomercial (2009, and he has just finished filming Gymkhana 4, set for release Aug. 16), a heart-thumping driving spot for the 2009 opening episode of UK's Top Gear TV show and a 171-foot jump for an episode of Stunt Junkies (2006).
