2025 HOT ROD POWER TOUR SMASHES ATTENDANCE RECORDS ON ITS EPIC JOURNEY
Hot Rod
|Fall 2025
OVER 6,000 DAILY PARTICIPANTS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FANS MADE THIS YEAR'S POWER TOUR ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS.
HOT ROD has been cruising around the country with its famous Power Tour since 1995, and it keeps getting better. We thought last year's record-breaking event was the pinnacle, but the 2025 version proved that assumption wrong. This year's Chevrolet Performance HOT ROD Power Tour Driven by Hagerty route began in Indianapolis and worked its way eastward, took a brief offshoot to the north on the second day, and finished in Norwalk, Ohio. More than 6,000 vehicles participated each day of the tour, with most of them earning the coveted Long Hauler honor.
This story is from the Fall 2025 edition of Hot Rod.
