Wiman crossed the line in second, while Sandell was able to fight his car to the finish in seventh place. 'Punctures were an issue for everybody all weekend long,' said Sandell. 'This old lumber mill near Seattle is a really cool location but there are a lot of things in the ground that can tear a hole in a tire -- and I found one of them.' The race win went to Isachsen. Wiman finished second, while third place went to fellow Ford driver Brian Deegan. GRC Lites also returned to the series this weekend in Seattle for their eighth round of 2014 competition. Red bull / Olsbergs MSE driver Mitchell DeJong scored yet another win -- his sixth of the season -- to tie up his first GRC Lites championship title. Although there is one race remaining in the season, there is no driver close enough in points to overtake DeJong for the championship. Full coverage of the Round 9 of the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship airs on NBC Sunday September 28 at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). Championship competition resumes with the tenth and final round of the 2014 season in Las Vegas on November 5.
