That&#8217;s right, at one point in time Nick Hogan was a competitive professional drifter, licensed by <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/tag\/formula+d\">Formula D<\/a> and finishing as high as third place at a 2007 <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/tag\/nopi\">NOPI<\/a> Drift event. Then he went and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2007\/08\/27\/hulk-hogans-son-injured-in-serious-car-accident\/\">crashed his hyper-modded Toyota Supra<\/a> (while drunk and racing) and in the process put his friend and Iraq veteran into a vegetative state. Hogan, who was a minor at the time of the crash and subsequent incarceration, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/10\/21\/clear-the-streets-nick-hogan-released-from-jail\/\">served six months<\/a> of an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/05\/09\/nick-hogan-sentenced-to-8-months-in-jail\/\">eight-month sentence<\/a> and had his drivers license suspended for three years.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan will be participating in the newly formed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xtremedriftcircuit.com\/\">XDC<\/a> (Xtreme Drifting Circuit) drift series that pits professionals against amateurs. Nick will be fielding a black, turbocharged <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/tag\/350z\">Nissan 350Z<\/a>. Also of note is that Hogan is now involved with a group called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keepitonthetrack.org\/\">Keep It On The Track<\/a> which is, &#8220;dedicated to educating Americans about the consequences of participating in illegal street races and driving without a seat belt.&#8221; Hogan will use his return to drifting to promote Keep It On The Track. All we can say is &#8220;good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorworldhype.com\/2010-03-18\/nick-hogan-returns-to-drifting-will-compete-in-xdc-andy\/\">Motorworldhype<\/a> | Image: Jacob Andrzejczak\/Getty]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/22\/ruh-roh-nick-hogan-announces-return-to-drifting\/\">Ruh-Roh: Nick Hogan announces return to drifting<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:01:00 EST.
