For the second consecutive year, rally racing will be featured in the Summer X Games, and nine of the 12 rally competitors have been confirmed, according to Rally America Managing Director J.B. Niday.

With the three medalists from last year’s X Games – Travis Pastrana, Ken Block and Colin McRae – already confirmed, the first five races of the 2007 Rally America season served as qualifying events for the popular action-sport competition.

Joining Pastrana, Block and McRae in X Games 13 will be Tanner Foust, Andrew Pinker, Matt Iorio, Paul Choiniere, Ramana Lagemann, and Andrew Comrie-Picard.

Still unannounced are two “At Large” entries as well as the “wild card” entry. The top-finishing driver in the upcoming New England Forest Rally who has not already qualified for the X Games will earn the coveted “wild card” invitation.

Rally action at X Games 13 begins with practice on Aug. 2 and 3 and concludes with the Super Special final competition on Aug. 5 at 1:30 PDT. Catch the action live on ABC. Remember to check local listings, as times are subject to change.

Pinker is kicking some tail this year... I'm excited to see how he will do at X-games. Although I'm wishing the best for Iorio.

Wish I could make it out for the x-games

Pinker had a lot of trouble at NEFR, but L'Estage was cooking right along you can clearly see it in the video I took. What sucks is that a some teams didn't go to NEFR because they wanted to save their cars for x-games. I know Foust didn't show up because he was doing a Formual D event, Wicked gay.
