At the UT Arlington Autocross event held on October 12, 2024, Alex Rivera represented MSU Texas as driver #171 for Mustangs Motorsports. While he did not complete a full timed lap due to back-to-back DNFs, his presence was far from inconsequential. Alex clocked a 100.343-second attempt in his first run before encountering an issue that ended the run early. Despite the setbacks, his performance offered valuable insights during test conditions, contributing to suspension diagnostics and track feedback that supported the team’s overall development strategy.
