NASA has reached an agreement with the American Rally Sport Group and Rally Promotions to administer the new "NASA Rally Sport" program. The mission of NASA Rally Sport is to encourage the growth of stage rallying in the United States by providing a customer driven organization offering safe, fair competition, and affordable events for the stage rally competitor, volunteer, organizer, and sponsor.
