We consider the vehicle as the third teammate, and all three handled the challenge with grace. They are an exceptional team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The team was able to clinch second place in the X-Cross class after excelling in the sand dunes, where the Telluride effortlessly floated over the sandy landscape to hit several checkpoints first before several competitors, taking the win for the most points scored on the final day of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are so proud of our overall performance and our comeback to take second in the X-Cross category at the 2020 Rebelle Rally,&#8221; said Alyssa and Sabrina. &#8220;On the final day, when we pulled up to\u00a0 checkpoints deep in the Imperial Sand Dunes and saw the look on the faces of the 4&#215;4 teams when we beat them there \u2013 that is a memory that will stick in our minds for a long time. The Telluride was an incredibly capable third teammate and we were grateful for the opportunity to take her on such an awesome adventure.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Kia was a first-time competitor in the fifth annual Rebelle Rally, competing in the X-Cross Class with minimal modifications, including a skidplate to protect the fuel and oil pan area and all-terrain tires. <\/p>\n<p><b><u>About the Telluriders<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Alyssa Roenigk<\/span> is a senior writer for ESPN and has committed countless acts of adventure in pursuit of a story.
