Early Life, Education

Tanner Foust was born in Denver, Colorado, and moved to Denver with his parents as an infant. His mother’s name is Jane Foust, and his father’s name is Dave Foust.

Similarly, on June 13, the American celebrates his birthday. Because Foust grew up in a naval household, he was able to travel to numerous countries as a youngster.

Overall, Foust did not enjoy the happy childhood that everyone had. To explain, he had two fathers (biological and step), as well as two mothers (biological and step).

Overall, Foust had little interest in racing, and it was not his boyhood ambition. Overall, his caregiver concept came to him as a stray thought when he was designing amusement attractions.

Similarly, he learned to rally on country roads when visiting Scotland and became interested in racing. Foust eventually returned to America and enrolled at the University of Colorado.

Tanner also studied molecular biology as a backup plan in case racing didn’t work out. Meanwhile, the Denver native could be seen at the track during the summers, doing mechanic work to immerse himself further in the racing profession.
