Falken Tires team drivers George and Lora Leyner achieved a second-place finish at the 2024 East vs. West vs. Texas W.E. Rock Championship Rock Crawling Series event. Starting their event, the Leyners faced mechanical difficulties after they broke the short side of their front shaft during their run on the first course, causing them to drop out of the fourth gate. They managed to finish the course and within a short amount of time before the second course began, the Leyners succeeded in replacing the broken shaft. George and Lora were still able to secure a nine-point lead at the end of the first day.
