Growing up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, it was easy to fall in love with racing with the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in our backyard.
There are breathtaking views everywhere you look in Colorado Springs. The city sits right at the base of the Rocky Mountains and one of the nation's most famous landmarks, Pikes Peak.
Qualifying records fell in every division. Paul Dallenbach bested his own former fast qualifying time in the Open Wheel division. Likewise, Randy Pobst in the Exhibition group beat his previously-established top qualifying time by 2 seconds. Tanner Foust toppled Travis Pastrana’s record in the one-make Porsche Pikes Peak Trophy by Yokohama division.
You may know NASCAR. Drivers doing laps and coming back to the start/finish line. But unlike NASCAR, there are no laps at Pikes Peak, just a dangerous climb up the side of "America's Mountain" racing toward the clouds.
