Travis Pastrana celebrates his fourth consecutive Rally America championship title and first place victory at Ojibwe Forest Rally.
Subaru Rally Team USA’s Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom dominated the Ojibwe Forest Rally held in Bemidji, Minnesota this past weekend taking home their fifth win of the season and ultimately securing the Rally America National Championship title.
Pastrana and Edstrom clinched their fourth consecutive Rally America National Championship title after battling with Subaru teammate and Wasserman athlete, Ken Block, who was separated by seconds after the first two stages of the race. Pastrana won all but three of the event’s fifteen competition stages giving him an early lead towards the championship title behind the wheel of his Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The Ojibwe Forest event has proved to be a favorite among rally drivers as the 130 mile technical course provides challenging fast forest roads and several stages that take place at night.
"I can’t wait to drive in the next two races without any pressure. Everything went my way this season and it feels amazing. My car was awesome and it has worked for me at every rally,” said new championship title winner Travis Pastrana.
