Scott Speed’s third straight pole position finally resulted in a win in the iRacing Rallycross All-Star Invitational presented by Yokohama on Saturday, as the Subaru Motorsports USA star was the clear-cut class of the field at Iowa Speedway. Speed took the lead midway through the race from Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s Conner Martell, who hung on for second, while 20-time X Games medalist and five-year rallycross veteran Bucky Lasek scored his first podium of the season in third.
Speed, international rallycross veteran Tanner Whitten, and four-time Chili Bowl winner Kevin Swindell took the top spots in the heats, while Martell, Speed’s teammate Brandon Semenuk, Atlanta winner Kristian Sohlberg, and Roadshow editor-in-chief Tim Stevens took the transfer spots in the Marwin Sports Last Chance Qualifier. After the full-grid invert for the final, chaos in the start cleared a path for Martell, Daytona winner Sage Karam, and Swindell to settle into the top three spots, with Speed coming from last on the grid to sixth.
The four-time US rallycross champion took his Joker Lap on the fourth lap and began working on Martell, making the pass in the corner after the jump just two laps later. Lasek, meanwhile, took his Joker on the second lap to settle into second, falling to third after Speed’s shortcut but maintaining a comfortable margin ahead of Swindell for the final podium spot.
