It’s June, so get the show on the road as the 24th annual HOT ROD Power Tour rolls through the heartland of hot rod culture. It’s more than just a traveling car show–it’s the largest hot rod road trip in the world. Classic cars and hot rods travel city to city, over 1,300 miles, enjoying the people and stops along the way. The highly anticipated seven-day, seven-city journey is expected to bring together more than 6,000 vehicles and 100,000-plus spectators, June 9-15, 2018. For more information, visit hotrod.com/events/power-tour.

Presented by Chevrolet Performance and driven by Continental Tire, HOT ROD Power Tour is widely considered to be the finest high-end hot rod-based automotive tour in the world, as performance car lovers join HOT ROD editors and photographers cruising through small town America. HOT ROD Power Tour welcomes all makes and models of hot rods, street rods, custom trucks, muscle cars, and performance machines of every vintage and nameplate. For many, HOT ROD Power Tour is the ultimate vacation with friends and family. Those who travel from start to finish are considered the “Long Haulers,” a title they proudly boast. The 2018 HOT ROD Power Tour anticipates more than 2,500 long-haul vehicles and over 4,000 “Long Haulers” on tour.

SEVEN CITIES IN SEVEN DAYS: The 2018 HOT ROD Power Tour will kick off on Saturday, June 9, in Bowling Green, Kentucky, at Beech Bend Raceway Park and roll through seven cities over the course of seven days. The full list of HOT ROD Power Tour stops will include:
