Travis Pastrana was the assumed winner of Sno*Drift, until Bambi killed that opportunity. Antoine L’Estage, last year’s Canadian Rally Champion, took first place and the overall win at the first Rally America race of the season. He and his Open Class Hyundai were strong contenders from the get go, so the top finish doesn’t come as a surprise.

“I’m very happy for our win, but I’m speechless,” said L’Estage at the finish. “Travis was the designated winner, he beat everybody — until the end.”

Second place went to the Open Class Mitsubishi Evo driven by Andrew Comrie-Picard. Kyle Sarasin, last year’s Rookie of the Year, took third place overall — his first overall podium finish.
