Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins and Craig Drew have won the 2012 Rally America National Championship. They secured the title with a second-place podium finish at the New England Forest Rally. This marks the sixth championship victory for Subaru Rally Team USA in seven years (2006-2009, 2011-2012) and the second consecutive title for Higgins and Drew in the #75 Subaru WRX STI. Battling through heavy dust for the second day in a row, the duo won the last five stages of the rally and finished only twenty-one seconds behind first place. As David Higgins said before the start of the race, "we want to just get the job done here this weekend, clinch it, and then be able to go to the last round with no pressure and really be able to go flat out for the fans." They've done just that and will be ready to take their victory lap over a hundred stage miles as the 2012 Rally America National Championship wraps-up at the Olympus Rally in Olympia, Washington on September 22-23. The incredibly reliable and tough 2012 Subaru WRX STI #75 prepared by Vermont SportsCar has finished every event this season with either a victory or a second-place finish and performed fantastically in every condition thrown at it.
