X-Games Rallying and Supermoto this Weekend - G.Irish - 08-02-2006
This year the Summer X-Games are adding Rallying to the competition, featuring multi-time WRC champion Colin McRae and multi-time Moto-X champion Travis Pastrana, both driving Subarus.
Other notables include Nicky Grist (Colin's WRC champion co-driver) and several regulars from the Rally America series such as Lauchlin O'Sullivan, Tanner Foust (D1 Drift driver too I believe), and Rhys Millen (also a D1 driver).
Unfortunately this year's Supermoto race conflicts with AMA Superbike so none of the AMASBK riders could compete this year, which is a shame because both of the previous the lone road racer did well* This year Alex Hoffman from the D'Antin Ducati Moto GP team will be the only road racer competing.
X-Games Rally: Saturday, August 5th @ 3 pm on ABC
X-Games Supermoto: Sunday, August 6th @ 3 pm on ABC
*Ben Bostrom won the first X-Games Supermoto on a Honda CRF450. His brother Eric finished 4th last year after running 2nd for most of the race (KTM450SMR).
