Dallenbach Sets Sights On Class Win in The 99th Running of The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

(Colorado Springs, CO) – Paul Dallenbach Racing officially kicks off race week after completing 2 test weekends on Pikes Peak earlier this month.  Test sessions prior to race week give drivers and teams the ability to get a look at the mountain and begin making final preparations ahead of sanctioned practice. “We learned a lot in testing and the team has been working non stop over the last month” stated Dallenbach.
 
The 99th Running brings back fans and competitors who were unable to attend due to COVID restrictions, and with that brings the anticipation of a competitive field of drivers and cars. “It is going to be a very competitive year and we are looking forward to the challenge” added Dallenbach. “We’re also looking forward to welcoming back the fans, last year just wasn’t quite the same without them.”
 
“I can’t thank my sponsors enough; this wouldn’t be possible without all of them” added Dallenbach. “We are excited to welcome Evolve Lubricants this year and are enjoying the opportunity to test out there products up on the hill.”
 
Dallenbach’s appearance this year at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is made possible through his sponsors; Alpine Banks, Crosley Brands, Goebel Construction, Rock Valley Oil & Chemical (RVO), Hoosier Racing Tires, Evolve Lubricants, Sign Edge, Race Central Media, and Project Daytona. “We are fortunate to have sponsors who are so generous and into racing, actively participating in our race preparation,” remarks Dallenbach.
 
About the Race - The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is the second oldest motor sports race in America - Only the Indianapolis 500 is older - and a longstanding tradition in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region. First competed in 1916, this year marks the 98th running of the "Race to the Clouds." The running of the race will take place on Sunday, June 30th with race related events during the preceding week. The infamous race is run on a 12.42 mile course with 156 turns that begins at 9,390 feet and finish at the 14,110 foot summit of America’s Mountain – where America the Beautiful was penned - Pikes Peak! As the gutsy drivers climb toward the summit, the thin air slows reflexes and saps physical muscle strength. The thin air - two miles above sea level - also robs engines of 30% of their power at the summit. Competitors and vehicles must be in top shape simply to finish...let alone win!
 
The race week kicks off on Monday June 21st, with Technical Inspection at The Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs. The race can be seen live on the official Mobil 1 Facebook Page and YouTube on June 27th. There is no other racecourse in the world like the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It attracts race crews that are willing to spend several hundred thousand dollars and months of preparation to compete for the right to be the King of the Mountain.
