New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) was abuzz with energy and filled with fans as the day kicked off a double-header weekend of Rallycross racing. At the end of the first day, Subaru Rally Team USA's Travis Pastrana finished fourth overall in the A Main Final of Round 3 of the RallyCar U.S. Rallycross Championship. With the strong contingent of experienced competitors fresh from the well-established European Rallycross Championship entered in this event, Travis drove a stellar race to bring home his car just outside the podium. Teammate Dave Mirra in his SRT USA #40 WRX STI was edged out of one of the semi-finals and unable to continue to the final race. Having set extremely fast times in the qualifying laps and adding another event's worth of experience, Dave is optimistic that he'll return on the podium.

As a double-header weekend, NJMP hosts Round 4 on Sunday with Qualifying scheduled in the morning, followed by heat races and finals throughout the day. With each successive rallycross event, Subaru Rally Team USA is building crucial experience in this new-for-the-U.S. sport.

Stay tuned for race results tomorrow...
