ADAM HEISHMAN

Raised in a small, one-red light town of Newville, Pennsylvania, I have been part of the drifting community since 2013. My passion for the sport began while studying High Performance Automotive at the University of Northwestern Ohio, where I started attending local drift events in my stock 2003 Mustang.

After graduating, I built my first dedicated drift car, a 1999 Mustang New Edge, and began pursuing competition more seriously. In 2022, I competed in the Drift Nirvana Rivals Series, winning three out of four rounds and securing the overall championship. The following season, I stepped up to the East10 and Lake Erie Pro-Am series, where I captured the East10 Championship and earned my Formula Drift ProSpec license.

I chosen to run the car number 988, representing the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline phone number. I also display the suicide awareness ribbon on my car to serves as a reminder that no one is alone and that the motorsports community stands together both on and off the track.

While competing at the highest level is a major goal, my mission extends beyond results. I strive to use drifting as a platform to raise awareness, inspire others, and make a positive impact within and beyond the motorsports community.
