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.�
