With an IRL Championship and an Indy 500 win already to his name, Kenny Brack made racing look effortless by taking the gold in his Rally Car Racing debut in front of a packed house at The Home Depot Center.

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.”

Danny is out for the year, but Mason recently came back and plans to throw down at next week's US Open of Snowboarding in Stratton, VT.
