Rally USA continues its quest to bring a WRC event to the U.S. with its next rally, Tennessee Rally USA, on June 14-15. It comes with a new major sponsor, Toyota Gazoo Racing, and a much bigger footprint.

Exciting to still see forward momentum on this.
This will be very good for the economies of said states involved. I would love to see WRC run in various places in the USA and even here in NC. Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia seem to be paying attention and have their acts together to make this sort of thing happen.

The event organizers warned me that the spectactor areas might fill up quickly. However, the service area should be able accommodate a bunch of folks as well as the parc expose.
I doubt spectator areas will be full with only 9 cars entered. SOFR was last weekend, an established rally with normally 60-80 cars entered and people coming to see pastrana and there are still plenty of places to watch from.
