We at Landers Toyota NWA in Rogers, Arkansas, love to support as many organizations as we can, especially if those organizations help the community. But what about an organization that supports the community while also showcasing amazing cars? Now that sounds like a match made in car heaven. Express Rally is the perfect fit for Landers Toyota NWA to sponsor.

Based in Northwest Arkansas, Express Rally deems itself “the South’s premier automotive culture and lifestyle experience featuring road rallies, private track days, community and social events, and unparalleled overland adventures.” Let’s drive in and see what all the excitement’s about.

Express Rally began in 2015 with events in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. It brought together car lovers for a weekend of unique driving experiences, which included planned driving routes through some of the nation’s most scenic highways. For example, this year’s Fall Classic rally begins in Northwest Arkansas and ends in Tulsa, OK, with a route through the scenic Arkansas Pig Trail and historic Route 66. 

In 2017, Express Rally expanded to include the West Coast with events in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. Today, rallies take place in Washington and Oregon as well as Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. 

Besides road rallies, Express Rally offers track days, which are designed for smaller groups with private instruction at each track. This spring’s track day is at Ozarks International Raceway, while the fall track day takes place at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit. 

Overland events are another Express Rally adventure available for drivers. These events feature pre-planned scenic and technical trails as well as carefully selected stops each day to take in the surroundings offered by the unique destinations selected. This October’s planned Overland Ozarks includes a campsite in the Ozark National Forest as well as chef-prepared meals.

Make Sure Your Toyota is Road-Ready Before Your Next Express Rally

It’s not all fun and games, as Express Rally also likes to give back and say thank you to the communities who support them. Throughout the year, they partner with local charities, hold social events, plan group drives and sponsor other local automotive events.

One group Express Rally supports is the official Arkansas chapter of Rigs & Coffee. NWA Rigs & Coffee is a monthly meeting held at The Hub Bike Lounge in Bentonville on the second Saturday of each month.

In December, we’ll partner again with Express Rally for the 6th Annual Holiday Hoon Toy Drive at Jason’s Pro Detail, where we accept toy donations. Everyone is invited to bring their car and family to enjoy food trucks while helping local families in need through the NWA Children’s Shelter and The Call.

Express Rally invites all car enthusiasts from not just Bentonville, Springdale or Fayetteville to participate but from all corners of Northwest Arkansas to learn more about the organization. Whether you’re a new driver or a seasoned pro, all are welcome on the open road. Stop by Landers Toyota NWA to learn more about how you can be a part of Express Rally.
