Tanner Foust took the podium in Rallycross #2's competitive AWD class, but it was Matthew Johnson in a 1978 Ford Fairmont Wagon that stole our hearts, managing a crazy win in the 2WD class. Pure, V8-powered awesome.

The far-from-stock Fairmont Wagon was formerly a track car modified with a 348-cubic inch V8 and race suspension. A nice V8 sounds so much better than all those high strung fourbangers. Heroic.
