Tire Rack One Lap of America consists of eight days of driving competition featuring some of the fastest street-legal cars on a number of America's most challenging racetracks! It’s an annual motorsports event that places emphasis on vehicle preparation, highway endurance and racetrack performance, and its nearly twenty-four hour a day driving captures the spirit of Brock Yates’ original Cannonball Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dashes.

Tire Rack One Lap of America requires the teams to be broadly skilled as their driving challenges typically include a wide range of competition venues, including autocross, road racing, drag racing (ET and bracket) and the skidpad.

As the event’s sponsor for the tenth consecutive year, the Tire Rack team recognizes the continuing participation of many of the tire brands we offer, including BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Firestone, General, Goodyear, Hankook, Kumho, Michelin, Pirelli and Yokohama. All of these brands have joined us to support Tire Rack One Lap of America competitors with their wide range of performance tires.

Each team is allowed one set of tires to complete the event, so the tires used in competition are the same ones that must be used on the highway to transit from track to track. (Spare tires are only permitted to be put into service at the discretion of the event organizers.)

As the first and final competition events of Tire Rack One Lap of America, our annual wet and dry Skid Pad Challenges on the Tire Rack test track determine which vehicles, tires, teams and drivers earn the bragging rights of having the best cornering vehicle in their class and overall. Finishing positions in the Skid Pad Challenges are awarded by measuring and averaging the maximum cornering forces each vehicle generates driving laps in both directions on the test track's 200' diameter skid pad.

Typically beginning the last Saturday of April and finishing the Saturday before Mother’s Day, the Tire Rack One Lap of America has become one of motorsport’s rites of spring.

Spectators are welcome to visit Tire Rack in South Bend, Indiana to see the cars during their final preparation while they are completing registration and to watch both skidpad events. Admission and parking are free.
