What’s set to make this year’s Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack even more memorable? Special Guest Randy Pobst, pro driver and automotive high performance expert.

Pobst, who writes columns here at Grassroots Motorsports, has quite the racing résumé. Four World Challenge championships. More than 90 pro victories. Two Rolex 24 At Daytona class wins. However, his roots go back to autocross, which is one part of the $2000 Challenge.

The Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack takes place on March 29-30 at Gainesville Raceway in Florida. The event welcomes cars of all budgets (with classing for $2000 entries and overbudget ones), and consists of autocross, drag racing and a concours ($2000 competitors only). Plus, there’s a Hagerty Cars & Coffee, a swap meet and more.

And if two days at the $2000 Challenge isn’t enough, you can also register for a track day the day after the $2000 Challenge, on Monday, March 31.
