Ryan Tuerck technically became the winner of the final round of the first event following Matt Field's sudden withdrawal due to his #777 Corvette drift car sustained heavy damage in the quarter-finals, marking his first win since Round 5 of the 2020 season and the first for the brand-new Toyota GR Corolla drift car. Lithuanian drifter Aurimas Bakchis finished 3rd due to his 4th place qualifier result compared to Fredric Aasbo's 7th place qualifying result.

The next event will be at the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for the AutoZone Road to the Championship presented by TYPE S from May 6th to 7th.
