Ken Block and AJ Allmendinger do the burnout thing - Click above to watch video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/14/video-who-can-do-the-better-burnout-aj-allmendinger-or-ken-blo/#continued)
Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) has released the fifth video in its 43 Fiestas series (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/16/offspeed-pitch-richard-petty-joins-ken-block-aj-allmendinger-i/), and this time Ken Block and AJ Allmendinger (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/10/video-43-fiestas-sweepstakes-kicks-off-with-excellent-nascar-vs/) have gone head-to-head to see who can do the best burnout. As always, Richard Petty himself is on hand to oversee the festivities. While you'd think Allmendinger's ridiculous V8-powered, rear-wheel drive NASCAR beast would be the de facto champion of lighting 'em up, Block's wee rally-sped Fiesta held its own this time *ahem* around. The Gymkhana champ fell back on his signature pirouette-around-a-fixed-object move to win an approving nod from the King himself. Not too shabby.
This latest stunt is one in a series leading up to a massive prize giveaway that includes tickets to the Ford 300 Nationwide and Ford 400 NASCAR races and flat-screen televisions. Ford will also give one lucky winner the keys to a 2011 Ford Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta), and if the company happens to take the win at the Ford 400, it will give 43 lucky winners their own unique Fiesta. You can head over to the 43 Fiestas site (https://www.43fiestas.com/43Fiestas/registration.aspx) for more details, and hop the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/14/video-who-can-do-the-better-burnout-aj-allmendinger-or-ken-blo/#continued) for a look at the video.
