MOTOR STATE DISTRIBUTING ANNOUNCES 17th ANNUAL MOTOR STATE CHALLENGE

Motor State Distributing will host the 17th annual Motor State Challenge on July 24-26, 2025. This much anticipated 3-day Pro-Touring event tests drivers’ skills on the street, the track, and the skidpad, and serves as a wildcard qualifier for the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. With a spirited police-escorted cruise through Southwest Michigan countryside, road course racing at GingerMan Raceway, and autocross at Tire Rack’s South Bend, Indiana headquarters, drivers compete in everything from vintage muscle cars to modern sports cars, and even a few customized trucks.

From its beginnings as a local, informal race event among friends, the Motor State Challenge has become a perennial favorite that attracts as many as 100 drivers from around the country. The event includes multiple classes, including vintage, late model, and manufacturer, and even the QA #goDRIVEit class, which captures the original spirit of the event by encouraging racers to drive their vehicle to the event, race it, and then drive it home.
