travis pastrana x games 2009

Friday, July 31st, 2009

“Travis Pastrana” is currently a popular topic for X Games writers. [1]

Riding along with Subaru Rally Team USA factory driver and freestyle motocross champion Travis Pastrana, it’s easy to appreciate the amount of effort it takes to pilot his Impreza WRX STI around the tarmac portion of the 2009 X Games rally course at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. [2]

Defending Rally America National Champion and action sports star Travis Pastrana claimed the X Games 14 rally car gold medal by defeating X Games 13 rally car gold medalist Tanner Foust by 2 seconds in a spectacular final round race. [3]

The 14 time X Games medalist, Travis Pastrana is looking to add to his impressive collection. [...] Rumors are flying, but one thing is for sure, Travis will go big when it comes to anything he enters! [4]

Travis Pastrana, yes the guy that won nine X Games Gold Medals and has his own MTV show on Sunday nights, will get his own one-of-a-kind Subaru Impreza WRX STI at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show. [5]

The X Games 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI is fundamentally the same as their Rally America race car, but with a larger inlet restrictor, 40mm vs 34mm. [2]

Mirra damaged his steering rack in the race against Comrie-Picard and this may have contributed to his losing control on the landing ramp of a 70-foot gap jump and crashing out of the event. [...] Pastrana, teamed with stand-in co-driver Carolyn Bosley, drove a Subaru WRX STi to victory in front of a packed Home Depot Center crowd and a live television audience. [3]

We round each tight corner with the rear of the vehicle hanging out, the tires howling with small (and sometimes large) clouds of rubber smoke in our wake. [2]

By rss@youtube.com (MadMedia) Subaru Rally Team USA (SRT USA) driver Travis Pastrana drove away with his ninth career X Games gold medal after winning the spectacular and drama-filled Rally Super Special event at X Games 14 in Los Angeles, Ca. [...] CA Winner of nine X Games Gold Medals, two for X Games Rally competition, Pastrana’s street ride had to be as formidable on the road as his racing WRX STI is on the rally circuit. [...] Related articles from Los Angeles Times, MotorcycleUSA.com, Bizjournals.com, OurSports Central, Pensacola News Journal, DesMoinesRegister.com, WhoWon.com and more. [...] In addition to battling for championship points, teams are vying for a shot at X Games gold in August. [1]

Since neither car could answer the call for the bronze medal race, and the rules prohibited filling the bronze race with competitors eliminated in quarterfinal races, the Race Director declared the bronze race a tie, and both Mirra and Block would share the bronze medal this year. [3]

Jillian Harris just got engaged to Ed Swiderski after giving him her final rose on The Bachelorette but while she’s made her commitment, he’s still sending sexy text to his ex-girlfriend Bethany Steffen. [1]

Even during filming, while competing for Jillian’s love, Ed was texting and emailing Bethany Steffen, his very recent ex, multiple sources told RadarOnline.com exclusively. [2]

EXCLUSIVE: Bachelorette Winner’s New Man Still Texting Ex-Girlfriend! [3]

Howard replaced fan favorite Rachelle Lefevre this week as the vixen vampire Victoria in Eclipse, the third movie in the Twilight Saga. [...] As far as a ’speaking fee’ goes, we ask for a ‘love offering’ for church services (which averages around $3000-3500 just to give you an idea, but is by no means a set ‘fee’– we let that up to God to fulfill our needs whether that amount be higher or lower!). [...] ‘He broke off his relationship with Bethany just a week before he began shooting The Bachelorette but soon resumed contact with her via texts and emails,’ a source told RadarOnline.com. [...] It’s expensive raising eight kids and now buying or renting separate places to live so it’s no wonder Jon and Kate Gosselin do everything they can to maximize their earning power. [...] Since his days as a child star, Diamond has fallen on hard times, including a fading acting career, financial problems, and the release of an embarrassing sex tape. [...] Endorsements, books and speaking engagements (in addition to the TLC show) all help keep the kids in new clothes and provide Jon with spending money for all his new girlfriends! [...] “Paris doesn’t know what to do about Doug,” the insider tells us. [...] Dustin Diamond who played the loveable, but nerdy ‘Screech’ on the late 80s/early 90s Saturday morning sitcom Saved by the Bell wasn’t invited to a recent cast reunion photo shoot for the cover of this week’s People magazine. [...] For more than 20 years, a woman who calls herself Billie Jean Jackson was a constant and unwelcome presence in Michael Jackson’s life and she’s not letting a little thing like the singer’s death get in the way of her ongoing obsession with the King of Pop. [2]

The Bachelorette season 5 finale episode is “After The Final Rose” will premiere Tuesday, July 28 on ABC channel. [3]

Aside from the family snag, the source says Doug has impressed Hilton by changing his by changing his ways. [2]
