In 2012, vert skateboarding superstar Bucky Lasek joined the Subaru Rally Team USA to compete in that year’s Global Rallycross Championship. He did so in a VSC prepared Subaru WRX STI Rallycross supercar he affectionately named “Betty.”
Betty carried Bucky to several podium finishes including a silver medal at the 2014 X Games. Betty sports one of the all time fan-favorite liveries: a fluorescent orange “zombie-cat” take on the Puma logo.
In 2023 car and driver were reunited when Lance Smith gifted the car to a flabbergasted Bucky while he was at VSC filming for an episode of his Youtube series “Buck Yeah.”
Betty and Bucky can currently be seen hooning it up at Subiefests around the country.
