UPDATE Wednesday, June 14 8:24 pm – A local participant in the HOT ROD Power Tour has provided WataugaOnline with updates to the tour route.

Greg Tibbett, a Vilas resident taking part in the tour, tells WataugaOnline that “the tour is not escorted (by LEO) at all. People stop when they want, get gas, eat, whatever. It's a cruise from point a to point b with an official route.”

He went on to add, “My guess is that you'll see groups of cars between 10 and 2. That will be the majority”

“It is regarded as the largest traveling car show, with 6,000 cars and trucks from all generations and tens of thousands of fans participating over a five-day road trip.”, according to MotorTrend Magazine. The tour kicked off from Atlanta Motor Speedway this morning (Tuesday June 13, 2023) at 8:30 am heading to the South Carolina Fairgrounds in Columbia, South Carolina.

On Wednesday the tour leaves Columbia heading to Rockingham Speedway. On Thursday from Rockingham Speedway to zMAX Dragway in Concord.

The final leg of the tour will come through Watauga County en route to Bristol MotorSpeedway on Friday (June 16, 2023). Leaving Charlotte at 7:30 am, it is expected to be in Watauga somewhere in the 9 am-9:30 am time frame.

The Watauga County portion brings the tour up 321 from Hickory, turning left onto 105 (at the big light in Boone), turning right onto the 105 bypass, turning left onto 321/421 (Boone Mountain), and then turning left onto 321 (at SkateWorld) as it winds it way to Tennessee.
