RACER
To celebrate 50 years of the Corolla, RACER has teamed up with Toyota to compete in the 2016 Hemmings Great Race with a first-generation 1970 Corolla sedan.
13-time X Games BMX Vert gold medal winner and SCORE Baja 1000 class winner Jamie Bestwick is the driver, while RACER's editor-in-chief Laurence Foster takes on navigating duties for the nine-day marathon.
Joining them on Day 5's route from Evanston to Cheyenne, Wy., is BMX Park rising star Drew Bezanson – and on a tough traverse of the mountains of Wyoming, the Canadian turns out to be a lucky charm for the Corolla's rookie crew.
