Subaru Rally Team USA (SRT USA) driver Travis Pastrana drove away with his ninth career X Games gold medal after winning the spectacular and drama-filled Rally Super Special event at X Games 14 in Los Angeles, Ca. The 23 year-old, two-time defending Rally America National Champion won each of the bracket racing-style rounds of the event in his 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI on the mixed-surface stadium rally stage to eventually beat last years gold medalist Tanner Foust by over 2 seconds in the finals. Pastranas other Subaru teammates of Ken Block and BMX legend Dave Mirra were each awarded Bronze medals. For the third straight year the X Games Rally podium was swept by Subaru WRX STI rally cars in front of thousands at the Home Depot Center and a live television audience.

One of the oldest rally races on the schedule, Susquehannock Trail (commonly known as STPR) began in 1977. It is not only the oldest, but it is also the fastest rally in North America. With roads consisting of clay and gravel, the course is slippery, fast and extremely dangerous. Drivers travel at speeds reaching 100 MPH through densely wooded roads. The speeds combined with the dangerous course ensure that this rally is not for the feint at heart.

Sno*Drift is the first stop on the 2008 Rally America National Championship and it is a full-on battle that takes place over snow and ice across the back roads of northeastern lower Michigan.

The fourth race on Rally America's schedule, Oregon Trail takes place in the woods outside the city of Portland. With fast stretches combined with twisting wooded runs through the Tillamook State Forest this rally is always packed with excitement. The lush, wet woods provide trees and ditches galore that are constant worries for the drivers and their co-drivers. This rally is very fan friendly with spectator sites scattered all along the course.

The Olympus Rally was part of the first US Rally Championship held in 1973. It later became a World Rally Championship from 1986- 1988. In 2008, the Rally America event moves from its original location near Olympia, Wash., 300 miles east to the Washington/Idaho border.

Smooth, fast roads, fantastic weather, and nighttime stages make this 6th rally on the circuit one of the best for spectators. It is also a late season chance for drivers to up their points within the Championship Series and push for a top standing at the end of the season.
