The Great Race rolls into Amarillo on June 23 at 4:30 pm CDT, bringing vintage horsepower to Amarillo Historic Route 66 District.

Enjoy dozens of beautifully restored pre-1974 classic cars cruise onto legendary 6th Avenue for an official Hemmings Great Race stop.

The Great Race is not about speed. It is a precision time, speed, and endurance rally that challenges drivers and navigators to hit exact checkpoints along a cross-country route. Each team follows detailed instructions across America’s backroads, often tracing stretches of Route 66, making every stop part competition and part celebration of road trip history.

Meet the drivers, see these rolling pieces of automotive history up close, and experience the spirit of Route 66 as it was meant to be driven during Amarillo’s Centennial year.
