Lia Block wins first overall ARA U.S. National Rally Championship event

Winning overall in the RC2 division at Ojibwe Forests Rally is a meaningful benchmark — RC2 is where serious factory-supported machinery competes, so this isn't a class win dressed up as something bigger. Block did it in a Hyundai i20 N Rally2 alongside co-driver Alex Gelsomino, which is a proper, competitive package rather than a token entry. For anyone tracking the next generation of rally talent in North America, this is the kind of result that marks a transition from promising name to legitimate contender at the national level.
