Tire Rack Events & Sponsorships

Tire Rack One Lap of America

The Tire Rack One Lap of America is a charitable, extreme challenge, street-legal road rally race for driving enthusiasts. It is an event of endurance and vehicle preparation. Featuring eight days of competition between many of North America’s fastest street-legal cars, the teams will compete in 10 events over more than 3,000 miles during a week of skid pad, autocross, drag strip, racetrack and highway transit. Teams are self-managed, have no support crews and have to finish on the same set of tires on which they started.

"Tire Rack is proud to celebrate its continued partnership with the Yates family as title sponsor of the Tire Rack One Lap of America,” said Matt Edmonds, executive vice president, Tire Rack. “With four decades of experience in the tire and wheel industry, we feel passionate about continuing to support and educate drivers from all experience levels about the capabilities of their tires and how proper maintenance, traction, safety and durability can be maximized on and off the track."

Outside of the performance aspects of the event, the Tire Rack One Lap of America’s focus is on charity. Many drivers race for a cause and they are as varied as the drivers’ personalities. But the official event charity is The Brock Yates Tribute Fund, created in 2013 to support Alzheimer’s awareness and to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Competition traditionally begins at Tire Rack in South Bend, Indiana when Tire Rack hosts One Lap of America competitors to a Wet Skid Pad Challenge before they begin their week-long trek. Competitors return to Tire Rack for the final event the following Saturday for a Dry Skid Pad Challenge and the famous burnout celebration.
