Subaru Rally Team USA to Compete in ESPN X Games 15
Pastrana Will Look to Repeat as Rally Gold Medalist
Subaru Rally Team USA will once again compete in this year’s ESPN X Games 15. The team will look to build upon their success in 2008, when Travis Pastrana won X Games Rally Gold. The ESPN X Games 15 will take place July 30-August 2, in Los Angeles, California.
“X Games rally racing events are a great way to expand our marketing efforts in Southern California and to reach the action sports community,” said Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Subaru of America, Inc. ” It’s also a great way to showcase the performance and handling of our Subaru Impreza WRX STI. We are very excited that our team has had such great success in rally events and we hope they can build upon their success this year.”
Subaru Rally Team USA (SRT USA) is comprised of returning drivers Travis Pastrana, Ken Block, and Dave Mirra, who each intend on securing gold at X Games 15 in the Rally Car Racing competition. As a 3-time Rally America National Champion and defending X Games Rally gold medalist, Pastrana will be looking to repeat the achievement in 2009. Each SRT USA driver will be piloting rally cars based on the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI model and identically prepared by technical partner Vermont SportsCar.
Rally car racing returns to Los Angeles, California for the fourth year in a row at the Summer X Games. The event takes place at The Home Depot Center. For a schedule of X Games 15 rally events and a complete event schedule visit www.expn.com.
