Tanner Foust jumps a Hot Wheels truck to new record at Indy

Before the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, Team Hot Wheels yellow driver and three-time X Games gold medalist Tanner Foust broke the world record for distance jump in a four-wheeled vehicle.

Foust dropped 10 stories down a life-size version of the iconic orange toy track and soared 332 feet through the air. Foust then unmasked himself--his identity had been a mystery up to that point, as shown in the teaser video we posted earlier this month.

"As a kid playing with Hot Wheels, I could only dream of experiencing something as outrageous as a life-sized V-Drop track set, and today it became reality," Foust said in a Hot Wheels press release.

The previous record was set at 301 feet.
