All Speed Innovations rally driver Chris Greenhouse fought hard all season and finished in third place in the RallyAmerica 2WD National Championship series in his first complete season. The team successfully scored points in every single event this year in the Dodge Neon SRT4, and Chris reflected, "This was our first time competing in every event at the National level and I'm very happy with our results. We worked so hard this year and endured freezing weather, mechanical problems, searing heat, blinding dust, illness, and thousands of miles of traveling from one end of the country to the other. Our hard work and dedication was rewarded with third place in the national championship. Now we get to take a short and well-deserved break before we start making repairs and upgrades for 2014."

Gary Cupp, owner of All Speed Innovations, expressed his satisfaction with the successful completion of the 2013 Rally America season. "We knew this would be the year to maximize seat time for Chris so that he could learn the car better and improve as a driver. He was able to gain experience and we collected a lot of data that will be quite useful next year. Chris drove the whole season with no major incidents, and I'm very pleased with his performance, his placement, and we look forward to doing even better next year."

The team has returned to their headquarters in Lebanon, Ohio where we still prepare to do it again next year; hopefully better, stronger, and smarter. "I want to thank so many people who made this season possible," said Chris. "Billy Mann, Peter Watt, Chris Gordon and Phil Marsh all co-drove for me this year, and I want to thank each of them for excellent work. We received so much assistance from other teams, and the service crew pulled a number of all-nighters to keep us going, especially at Oregon Trail, which was a nightmare for us from start to finish. I have no idea how they kept that car moving after the repeated damage that we kept taking there."

After traveling from one end of the US to the other, yeha it will be nice to get a little time off. But the season starts in late January 2014, so our off-season is a short one
