The 19-year-old daughter of Rally legend Ken Block claimed her first overall rally win over the weekend in the Ojibwe Forests Rally.
This is a milestone for Lia as this marks her first win at the top level of U.S. Rallying in the American Rally Association (ARA) National Championship. She is competing in the highly competitive RC2 division and won alongside co-driver Alex Gelsomino for Block House Racing. She has taken to Instagram to share her achievement.
Lia has previously earned podium finishes in the 2026 Olympus Rally, the Southern Ohio Forest Rally, and Rally Colorado. Her win will mark her fourth podium on the national circuit.
Block previously won the ARA Open Two-Wheel-Drive division in 2023 when she was 16 years old, the youngest to ever be champion.
There are two more rounds in the 2026 National Overall Driver championship, with the Overmountain Rally Tennessee and Lake Superior Performance Rally remaining. Block currently leads with 101 points followed by Seth Quintero with 80 points. She also leads the RC2 Driver championship standings with 90 points to Quintero’s 76 points.
