With over 16 years of racing experience, Rhys Millen has established himself as one of the premier rally/drifting drivers in North America. Born in New Zealand in 1972, Rhys is the son of famed rally and off-road racer Rod Millen. Rhys joined Rod in the U.S. as a teenager and soon afterwards established himself as a racer by taking first at the 1992 Pike's Peak Hill Climb in the Open Division and winning Rookie of the Year. In 2004, Millen partnered with Pontiac to enter the first US Drift series, Formula Drift. He won the Formula Drift Championship in 2005 and was runner-up in 2006.
