In 2006, Subaru Motorsports USA partnered up with a boutique shop deep in the mountains of New England known as Vermont SportsCar (VSC). VSC was tasked with building competitive cars for Rally America; driver Travis Pastrana proceeded to win four straight national championships.

Since the demise of Rally America and the inception of the American Rally Association (ARA) in 2017, a VSC Subaru has won every ARA championship except one.
