January 12, 2009 at 12:00 AM
  • Carlos Sainz now leads the Dakar Rally by nearly 20 minutes following his victory on the ninth stage of the event from La Serena to Copiapo, his third consecutive stage win. The Spaniard was nearly two minutes quicker than VW team-mate Mark Miller, with Miller moving up to second place overall. NASCAR driver Robby Gordon was third, just two minutes behind Sainz. This is the third stage of the nine run that Gordon has finished third — his highest finish in a stage this year. Gordon remains fifth in the overall standings as the top-six drivers were unchanged after Stage 9. Dutchman Frans Verhoeven won the motorbike stage while Spain’s Marc Coma stayed more than one hour clear in the overall standings after finishing fourth.(NASCAR.com)
