Jack Shanahan, Conor Shanahan, topped Formula DRIFT PRO qualifying in Long Beach, with a 47-point advantage over second-place James Deane and third-place Branden Sorensen. If both drivers fail to qualify, Conor will win his first FD PRO Championship. Deane will face Andy Hateley in the Top 32, but Deane is currently experiencing mechanical issues in his Drift Wizard E46 BMW. The only American driver currently in contention is Branden's SoreNSen, who is 48 points behind Conor. The leading Rookie driver was Cody Buchanan, who placed 20th in the Life Wide Open / Reboot Energy 350Z, who needs a good result to claim the 2026 Rookie of the Year title from points leader Cole Richards.
