Design Engineering Inc. is supporting the 2022 Tire Rack One Lap of America, presented by Grassroots Motorsports Magazine, a unique weeklong drive-and-race event that covers 3,500 miles.
“We’ve had a great relationship with DEI for 20 plus years and we’re looking forward to another great year with them as a sponsor,” event founder Brock Yates said.
Over the seven days of competition, drivers test their overall skills in a variety of challenges including skid pad, autocross, drag strip, racetrack and highway transit. Teams are self-managed, have no support crews, and must start and finish on the same set of tires.
“We are excited to be a part of this annual historic event,” said Will Farkas, social media and sponsorship coordinator at DEI. “It really is a true test of endurance and vehicle preparation, and we’ll be offering a discount on our products for all 2022 One Lap of America race teams.”
The event begins April 30 with driver registration and concludes May 8. Enthusiasts can follow along on Facebook and/or through available livestreams.
