WELLSBORO – The Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally returns next weekend, bringing 50 race cars, the infusion of millions of dollars to local area businesses rivaling a national convention, and MTV star Travis Pastrana with it. The rally, round five of the Rally America Championship Series, will take place Friday and Saturday along the twisting roads of Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon country.
Despite his dominance for the last several years, Pastrana never has won STPR.
