Subaru Rally Team USA teammates Travis Pastrana and Ken Block will appear together on this week's new episode of Nitro Circus on MTV (Thursday, October 15th at 10pm ET/PT). In the segment, the duo teamed up to film a fun game of H.O.R.S.E., but instead of basketball trick-shots, they performed driving moves behind the wheel of a fully-prepared Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car. Shot on location at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT, the segment features Pastrana and Block competing against each other in several wild stunts and technical driving challenges.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car the pair utilized for the segment was prepared by Vermont SportsCar and features the same specifications as the cars both drivers compete with in the Rally America National Championship driving for Subaru Rally Team USA. Between filming his popular Nitro Circus TV show this year Travis Pastrana has secured his fourth consecutive Rally America National Championship, winning five of eight events run thus far in 2009. Parts of the Nitro Circus segment were filmed by Mad Media, the same production crew that has filmed Ken Block's popular Gymkhana videos.
