Jeff Jones wins the seeding bracket in Atlanta. Dan Burcket is second, and Diego Higa is third.
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta hosted the first round of the Formula DRIFT competition in 2004 and has been part of the Championship throughout its 21 seasons.
In the PRO Championship, the first 24 positions were determined by the Long Beach results, with the remaining 13 drivers competing in a seeding bracket to claim the remaining eight places in the Top 32 competition.
The top three drivers in the K&N PRO Seeding Bracket were Jones, Burkett and Higa. They triumphed despite the presence of top drivers like 2023 PROSPEC Champ Ben Hobson (USA) and RTR Motorsports teammate, double FD PRO Champion Vaugh Gittin Jr (USA). Gittin placed eighth in the Monster Energy Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD and will compete on Saturday. However, Hobson narrowly missed out. Placing ninth, he has yet to qualify for a 2024 PRO Championship event driving the Pennzoil / BC Racing Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD.
The eliminated PRO Championship drivers were Andy Hateley (USA), Ben Hobson (USA), Derek Madison (USA), Federico Sceriffo (Italy) and Rudy Hansen (USA).
