23 days till Detroit. Who’s going?

Wrench Rally 3 is coming fast, and the road is calling. In just a few weeks, teams will roll out of Detroit and disappear onto the back roads, chasing riddles, solving challenges, and discovering parts of America most people never see. This isn’t a race and it’s not a cruise — it’s a test of curiosity, grit, problem-solving, and how well you trust your instincts when the map stops making sense.

From Midwest factory towns to Ozark backroads and deep into Texas ranch country, every day brings hard choices, unforgettable stops, and stories you can’t make up. You’ll wrench on the road, laugh at the mistakes, celebrate the wins, and finish with a crew that feels like family.

And when it’s all over, the cars that carried you across the country are donated to support Parkinson’s research — turning an epic adventure into something that truly matters.

🚗 Detroit → Bryan, TX
📅 February 25 – March 1, 2026
🔧 Spots are limited — and time is running out

So… are you going to watch from the sidelines, or are you coming with us?

Day 1 kicks off where American industry and ingenuity were forged. Teams roll out of Detroit and immediately leave the comfort of the interstate behind, chasing clues through factory towns, river crossings, and forgotten stretches of Midwest pavement.
The route rewards curiosity over speed, pulling drivers into places most people fly past without noticing.
Every mile brings a choice: chase the obvious answer, or take the road that feels right.
By the time teams cross into Kentucky, they’ve already learned the rally’s first lesson — the fastest way isn’t always the best way. Louisville welcomes the convoy with tired cars, full memory cards, and stories that only the road can write.
