Jimmie Johnson, Colton Herta finish second to Petter, Oliver Solberg at Race of Champions

The father-son tandem of Petter and Oliver Solberg beat the surprisingly competitive American team of Colton Herta and Jimmie Johnson on the the frozen Baltic Sea to win the Race of Champions Nations Cup.

Team Norway was led Saturday by 47-year-old Petter Solberg, the 2003 World Rally champion and two-time World Rallycross champion. His son, Oliver, is a 20-year-old rising rallying driver.

The knockout-style event was held on a snow- and ice-covered course in Pite Havsbad, Sweden, 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

Herta was a last-minute replacement for Travis Pastrana, who broke his back and hip in a BASE jumping accident late last month.
