Listen to story

Rally driving can be compared to what they did on Dukes of Hazzard..except that rally drivers actually have to land their cars when they take a jump. Just like Bo and Luke Duke, two people ride in a rally car, the driver and the co-driver. Teams only get one shot at a particular stretch of dirt road, at least until next year. So, the co-driver navigates, letting the driver know when to turn left or right, as well as signaling upcoming blind crests, jumps, hairpin turns and dips. Fans call it the "extreme" side of motorsports.
