X games rally drivers list

Her racing career spans a dozen years of rally competitions, and she has finished runner-up in the national championship for the past three years in a row. She is humble about her accomplishments, but if pressed, she'll admit she's got skills: "I know that I'm fast. Not just: 'fast, for a female.

She has already won the race to be the first woman driver in the top ranks of the U. When she takes the start in her factory Hyundai Veloster Turbo at the opening round this weekend in Barbados, she will break ground as the first female driver in the series' young history.

At X Games, a month later, she'll be joined by Burgess, who will be the second female driver in series' history.

Burgess got her start working on cars in the shop with her husband, Adam, in their native Australia some 12 years ago. The duo decided to immigrate to the United States and brought with them their passion for motorsport, and they have campaigned a high-horsepower drift car -- which Burgess drove -- in the Xtreme Drift series for the past two years. But Burgess said she got tired of playing to the judges, and by the end of last season she was ready for a new challenge. Burgess will be the second driver to bring a Chevrolet Sonic to the championship.

Like rival Chevy driver Pat Moro, Burgess enjoys support from sponsors and a relationship with Chevrolet but is largely running her program as a privateer. And although the team is undertaking a new vehicle build and on a platform that is largely untested in rallycross, Burgess said she's confident her Sonic will be competitive.

And she isn't fazed by the budgets of some of the higher-dollar teams she'll face on the circuit. During Higgins' "downtime," he and his family operate the world-class Higgins Rally School. Yes, he's from the action sports world. Yes, he's a motocross star. Yes, he parlayed his two-wheeled skills to four-wheeled rally. But that's where the similarities end. A founder of Metal Mulisha, a posse of motocross drivers turned brand, and winner of 10 X Games medal, Deegan took home Silver medals last year in Rally Racing and Rallycross, beating Pastrana in both disciplines.
