USRallycross should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
In a press release a few weeks ago Vermont SportsCar (Subaru USA) announced that Sandell and Atko will be running some American Rally Association events in lieu of Travis Pastrana who has conflicts with Nitro Circus.

Be interesting to see if this was to honor contracts with knowledge that GRC was ending? Vermont spent a lot of money developing those GRC cars and now don't have any return for it. Plus American is split between two major series in a country that sadly can't support one national series.

So Vermont are running Subaru's in the series that they pretty much own and fund with little to no competition except when Barry McKenna appears in his R5. Entries in ARA are probably going to be less than 50% the entries in the competing Rally America series. No TV coverage whatsoever of either series and only Subaru's excellent 'Launch Control' series really covers anything......

Interesting few weeks ahead.
