Nitro Rallycross Round 2: Minnesota
Date: October 2-3
Location: ERX Motor Park
After a fast weekend and challenging final fight in Salt Lake City, Subaru
Motorsports USA returns for Round 2 of Nitro Rallycross this week in
Minneapolis, Minnesota! The rolling terrain of ERX Motor Park will host to the
first-ever Nitro RX round held outside of Utah, with the Subaru trio of Travis
Pastrana, Scott Speed and Andreas Bakkerud aiming to pick up the team’s first
victory of the five-round season in their WRX STI rallycross cars.
With a very different track profile than the now-familiar Utah Motorsports
Campus, the ERX layout’s wide corners and multiple jumps should provide plenty
of passing opportunities and on-track drama. Tune in via the Peacock app in the
U.S. and via YouTube livestream in other markets to watch the Subaru team take
on the best in the world once again!
Travis Pastrana #199 Subaru WRX STI
Really excited about the pace of our team last weekend in Utah. I’m looking
forward to the Minnesota dirt and wide track which should provide for some of
the best side by side racing on the circuit!
Scott Speed #41 Subaru WRX STI
The first race was a great feeling and step in my recovery. Was great
to be back racing again and in that competitive environment. ERX is a much
different track so I’m very much looking forward to adapting to it as a driver
and hopefully having a clean weekend. Our cars are fast so we just need
to execute!
Andreas Bakkerud #13 Subaru WRX STI
The ERX track blew my mind when it comes to driving a RX car. I’ve never
ever been on a track which has more natural flow. You have fast corners, big
jumps, crests, compressions and elevation change! I think the general
racing will be awesome - the track attracts overtakes and passes. I can’t wait to
go back there!
