Brandon Semenuk has claimed a last gasp 100 Acre Wood Rally win as Ken Block hit a deer and dropped a minute on the final stage.
Block, debuting his new Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC, led the majority of the second round of the 2022 American Rally Association presented by DirtFish National championship and looked well on course to extend his record of 100AW Rally victories from seven to eight.
He’d put the hard yards in on Friday, initially dicing with the returning ARA National champion Travis Pastrana before breaking free when Pastrana punctured and generally struggled in the wetter conditions of the second pass of the stages.
Block’s lead stood at half a minute over Semenuk after the first day and the Hoonigan Racing Division driver extended that advantage as high as 52.2s with just two stages to go courtesy of a string of fastest times.
