Pontiac and Millen Dominate Podium at Formula D Atlanta

After sitting out the first race of the season due to mechanical issues, Rhys Millen (Pontiac Solstice) has returned to Formula D with a bang. To add gravy to his first win of the 2008 season, teammate Daijiro Yoshihara (Pontiac GTO) managed to grab fourth place. It also seems worth mentioning that 3 of the top 4 cars were Pontiacs. Ryan Tureck (Pontiac Solstice) and Mitsuhiro Takatori (Nissan Skyline) rounded out the top 4 with 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
