Subaru of America announced that 2006 Rally America Champion and X Games 12 Rally winner Travis Pastrana has agreed to a new, three-year contract to race for Subaru Rally Team USA. Pastrana is the youngest driver to win the Rally America National Championship.

In a ceremony held at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, Pastrana was awarded the Rally America Championship trophy. Subaru of America also confirmed its future commitment to rally, announcing a two-car team in the Open Class of the 2007 Rally America series. Ken Block, 2005 "Rookie of the Year," will be back to drive in the #43 Subaru
Rally Team USA STI for 2007.

"[Pastrana's results are] a strong validation of our presence in rally, and we are looking forward to X Games 13 and hopefully, another championship in Rally America," said Subaru chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney.

A motorcycle racing star turned rally car racer, Pastrana had been the dominant force this year in the Rally America series, earning three rally victories and four 2nd place podium finishes at an astonishing eight out of nine rounds along with securing the gold medal at the inaugural X Games Rally event where he narrowly beat out WRC legend Colin McRae.
