Stucky and Wicknick together have taken part in many media ventures for brands like SuperTuner, Blu E-cigarettes, and many more. Currently Stucky works out of Utah helping promote the local drift scene while helping new drivers learn the ropes at their events.
Brandon Wicknick
Brandon started drifting in 2001 when he bought his first rear wheel drive car a 1986 Toyota Corolla AE86. After 5 years of learning the ropes he got into the seat of a more powerful Nissan 240SX S13 and was hooked. After several years competing in various Pro Am drift series in the West Brandon secured a professional license through the Formula Drift PRO series. In 2013 Brandon and his crew campaigned the same 240sx that he had used for many years for an entire season. The car uses a Toyota Supra 2JZ engine with 700hp. They continued with Formula Drift through 2015 and secured 2 podium finishes including a 1st place finish. Since that time Brandon now focuses on drifting for fun which includes exhibitions, instructing, ride along experiences and filming drift videos.
