Day 4 of the 2021 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty Drivers Club sent us on a long haul across the state of Missouri. We started the day in Joplin and headed east early in the morning with a lengthy trek on the interstate, before going on the clock. After we peeled off the interstate, it was time to start the day’s competition, and it was a tough one. There were quite a few long stretches of steady speed, but way more maneuvers and challenging terrain than previous days. We also encountered plenty of traffic, which plays a huge role in the competition. We made a lunch stop in Rolla, Missouri and this small town came out in full force! We were treated to a delicious lunch, and hit the road again. After navigating the beautiful, rolling hills, we made our way to the Mississippi River for yet another spectacular evening stop. This one was familiar to our longtime Great Racers, as we visited Cape Girardeau, Missouri for an evening stop on the 2013 Great Race. Once again, thousands of people came out to cheer on the Great Racers. It was incredible! The views of the Mississippi River, the stunning meal and the giant crowd will have us talking about Cape Girardeau for years to come.

Just saw some of the cars in the race on I-55! I love the old classic cars! Just read what the race was about that’s awesome and helps our youth learn more about the classic! I was raised around old classic cars and just love them! Good Luck to everyone! ❤️

Saw the cars in Galax, Va today. What a treat. Almost makes me want to do it.
I love the cars, love the drivers and navigators, love the substance of this race. A perfect day for a perfect race. A total enjoyment.
