Rusty Wallace won his second consecutive International Race of Champions and moved into the series lead, after he and fellow stock car driver Bill Elliott collaborated to dominate the race at Brooklyn, Mich.

There were six different leaders in the first 21 laps of the 50-lap, 100-mile all-star sprint on Michigan International Speedway’s two-mile, high-banked oval. That included Wallace, who started ninth in the 11-car field and led laps 12 through 20 before Elliott managed to get to the front.

But Wallace regained the lead on Lap 23 and led the rest of the way with Elliott dogging his rear bumper. They drafted close together, moving them away from the rest of the identically prepared Dodge IROC race cars.

Wallace has 60 points in the IROC series, with Elliott next at 54. Scott Pruett fell to third with 47.
