The 2009 Rally America season was the fifth season of Rally America. The season consisted of 9 rallies and began on January 30, with the Sno* Drift National Rally in Michigan. The final stage of Rally in the 100 Acre Wood was canceled due to impassable conditions.[1] With six victories, Travis Pastrana claimed his fourth Rally America championship in succession.

The X Games had a super stage rally event for their event. This marked 4th time the event was in the X Games, and featured at least 10 drivers from Rally America in head to head competition in a cross over course. 8 of the drivers have already been chosen, including Pastrana, Block, and Foust.[12]
Though Rally America runs 2 other classes, Super Production and Front Wheel Drive, these are not nearly as heavily contested.[13] Travis Pastrana secured his fourth straight championship during the Ojibwe Forests Rally. Foust and Comrie-Picard were unable to attend.
