Kenny Brack Wins X Games 15 Rally Car Racing Gold

LOS ANGELES, CA — With an IRL Championship and an Indy 500 win already to his name, Kenny Brack made rally car racing look easy by taking the gold in his X Games debut at The Home Depot Center. Brack was able to best two-time gold medalist Travis Pastrana in the finals. The way Brack spoke after the race, it sounded like he’s content to go out on top. “It’s a one off,” explained Brack of his Rally Car entry. “I’m not looking to get into this full time again. I’m 43 years old. It’s a lot easier standing on the sidelines telling someone how to do it than to do it yourself.”

Silver medalist Pastrana was leading Brack by 0.33 seconds when he spun out around a corner. Gracious in defeat, Pastrana acknowledged the crash came as a result of trying to keep up with Brack. “If he wasn’t so fast, that would not have happened. I was really impressed.”

Tanner Foust took third, but was able to make a joke at his own expense over his increasingly lower finishes since 2007. “My medals are getting darker, which is not ideal.”
