The Big Bend Open Road Race has been called the most
challenging road race in the country. It is 118 miles
of adrenaline rush which is over in much too short a time.
Running each Spring from Fort Stockton, TX to Sanderson, TX
and back on Texas State Highway 285 it will challenge the
most experienced drivers. 60 turns and a multitude of
elevation changes make up the route. Speed classes
from 85mph for the family sedan or SUV to the Unlimiteds
which reach speeds of 200mph provide a venue for everyone.
You will see racers arrive driving the car they will run in
the race and other racers arrive with the cars hidden away
in the bellies of expensive trailers. Father and son
teams, father/daughter, brother/sister and husband/wife
teams proliferate making this a family event that people
return to year after year.
No race enjoys the success of the Big Bend Open Road Race
unless the communities get behind the event, support it and
welcome the drivers. Fort Stockton and Sanderson go
beyond normal expectations and truly turn this into a class
event which most racers will quickly tell you is the best
race of the year! Having experienced the hospitality
first hand, I can tell you these fellow Texans make me
proud. There is not a better bunch of folks to be
found anywhere! For more info go to the
