Minnesota based Rally America was created in 2002 by a longtime rally competitor and currently holds the sanctioning and marketing rights to the Rally America Championship.

The Rally America events have a grassroots racing feel and are supported by hundreds of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers and course workers. Each year, Rally America sanctions a combination of regional and national level rally events attracting thousands of spectators and the best rally drivers, co-drivers and support teams in North America.

In 2010, Rally America will feature a 6-round Rally America National Rally Championship from January through July supported by at least 20 regional rally events. These rally events will take place in six different states across the country - from Maine to Washington and from Michigan to Missouri.

For the fifth consecutive year, Rally America is returning to ESPN's X Games in sunny Southern California in early August.. Last year at the X-Games, Ford launched its factory Rally America team with the X-Games entries of Kenny Brack, Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. After several tough rounds of competition, Kenny Brack driving a Ford Fiesta defeated Subaru's Travis Pastrana in the rally finals.

For 2010, Ford has teamed up with Ken Block to form the Monster World Rally Team. Block and the MWRT will compete in the Monster Ford Fiesta against the Subaru Rally Team USA and a number of privateer Mitsubishi EVO's and Subaru STI's.

Block's 2.0-liter turbocharged Fiesta, modified to the Open Class specification for Rally America, is capable of producing over 330 hp at 8,000 rpm. Block and the Monster World Rally Team will campaign a 2011 Ford Fiesta based on the race-winning European Rallycross Fiesta prepared by Olsbergs Motorsports Evolution.
