Smiles All Around at the Grand Finish in Gardiner, Maine

July 1, 2024


When we visited Gardiner, Maine back in 2018, we knew it was something special. Great Racer Peter Prescott is Gardiner’s resident car guy and he influenced that stop’s success then, but the town really pulled out all the stops this go ’round. Peter partnered with city officials, who really got behind our finish line celebration on Sunday, June 30th. It was a warm and muggy day, with threatening thunderstorms in the afternoon hours, but thousands upon thousands of folks came out to cheer on these Great Racers. There were a total of 10 Great Race teams from Maine, and of course, all other parts of the USA and even overseas. The crowd was thick on Water Street, and we loved every minute of it. We compiled some of our favorite moments from the finish line ceremony, so enjoy these smiling faces as racers could finally breathe a sigh of relief after nine days and 2,300 miles of rallying.
