Quebecker Antoine L'Estage and co-driver Nathalie Richard started the 100 Acre Rally, second event of the 2011 season of the Rally America Championship, in second place behind X-Games favourite Travis Pastrana and co-driver Jeremy Wimpey.

The North American Rally champions are trying to recover from a desatrous first rally where they were unable to reach the finish line.

The results for the ungoing rally are in, up until the sixth stage of 16.

Pastrana fell in second position at the end of the first stage with only two seconds between him and L'Estage. The gold medalist retired on a roll during stage 2.

L'Estage and Richard have won every stage so far. David Higgins and Dave Mirra have been completing the top-3 since the end of stage 2 alongside their respective co-driver, Craig Drew and Marshall Clarke.

The rally is set to be completed later tonight, in Salem, Missouri.
