In 2009, Brock Yates Jr., took over the wheel and kept the One Lap tradition going. Each year, the event has gained more traction among enthusiasts looking for an ultimate adventure that affords them the opportunity to race their car in a safe and friendly environment while travelling across the country. \u201cLast year was the first time in One Lap\u2019s 37 year history that we didn\u2019t hold the event,\u201d said Brock Yates Jr. \u201cTo say it was a disappointment would be an understatement, as I spoke to many of our participants who were also bummed out. I take COVID-19 seriously and didn\u2019t want to put people at risk. That\u2019s why this year\u2019s One Lap is even more exciting.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/001-durango-1.jpg\" alt=\"Durango SRT Hellcat racing in One Lap of America 2021\" class=\"wp-image-50514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/001-durango-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/001-durango-1-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/001-durango-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/001-durango-1-992x661.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Among the 72 entries is One Lap sophomore and SRT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Engineer David Carr and yours truly.
