Los Angeles, CA -- SYMS/RockStar Rally Team driver Tanner Foust and co-driver Chrissie Beavis surged ahead in the home stretch to take the checkered flag - and the gold - in the Rally Car Racing Super Special competition, the final event of ESPN X Games 13.

This year's Rally Car Racing competition at X Games, which is sanctioned by the Rally America National Championship Series, marked the first time teams raced head-to-head. They did so before a sellout crowd at The Home Depot Center.

Foust and Beavis led early in the final race but lost the lead to Ken Block and his co-driver Alessandro Gelsomino - only to blast forward in the last inches of the course and cross the finish line .68 seconds ahead of Block and Gelsomino.

"[Block] was leading us going out, and on the way back he must have caught bad breaks because he got really close and I was thinking "Oh my gosh, there's no dust at the finish line, we might have a chance at this," Foust said afterwards. "Big finishes somehow always happen at the X Games," Foust shrugged.

X Games legend and 2006 Rally America champion Travis Pastrana said recently that Rally Car Racing now occupies "99.9" percent of his time. During a semi-final heat, Pastrana crossed into Foust's lane in a similar push for the finish line and was disqualified. He would be classified third.

"I thought [Foust] might be a little bit ahead - I just totally overtook that corner a little bit, and completely ran right through the barrier," Pastrana said. "They made a call, and we've been on the other side of calls a lot and we'll take it - we're still at the podium."

Rally America points leader Andrew Pinker and co-driver Robbie Durant were eliminated by their SYMS/RockStar teammates Foust and Beavis in the second round of qualifying and finished sixth.

The next round of the Rally America Championship Series, the Ojibwe Forests Rally in Bemidji, Minn., will be held on Aug. 24-25.
