Beyond his inexperience, Brack was also forced to deal with his lower rear bumper dragging throughout nearly the race’s entirety. Despite these obstacles, Brack was still able to best two-time gold medalist Travis Pastrana in the Finals. The way Brack spoke after the race, it sounded like he’s content to go out on top.
“It’s a one off,” explained Brack of his Rally Car entry. “’I’m not looking to get into this full time again. I’m 43 years old. It’s a lot easier standing on the sidelines telling someone how to do it than to do it yourself.”
Silver medalist Pastrana maintained an airtight pace with Brack until spinning out around a corner. Both ends of Pastrana’s car hit walls which pinned the car sideways and ended his chance at first place. Gracious in defeat, Pastrana acknowledged the crash came as a result of trying to keep up with Brack.
“If he wasn’t so fast, that would not have happened. I was really impressed.”
Tanner Foust took third, but was able to make a joke at his own expense over his increasingly lower finishes since 2007.
“My medals are getting darker, which is not ideal.”
