The Rebelle Rally is a prestigious off-road race open exclusively to female competitors. Ford is no stranger to success in the challenging race, and its victory in 2023 was the automaker’s fourth straight win in the event. Not only that, the Blue Oval became an official race partner in 2023, and it’s continuing the support in 2024 as Silver sponsor for this year’s event.
Ford joins an extensive roster of Silver sponsor partners, including YB Tracking, Toyota, Yeti, Baja Designs, Fox Trail Trust, and Tread Lightly. In addition to its status as sponsor, Ford is currently tackling 2024 Rebelle Rally with a team of five off-road racers vying for the victory.
Ford’s stable consists of three Ford Bronco racers, one Ford Bronco Sport Sasquatch Package entry, and a Ford Ranger Raptor. Rebelle Rally veteran Shelby Hall is racing alongside navigator Rori Lewis in a Bronco Raptor this year, while Laura Wanlass and Penny Dale are behind the wheel of a second Bronco Raptor competing in the 4×4 Class. They are joined by Bailey Campbell and navigator Sedona Blinson in a 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor, Melissa Clark and Kathryn Reinhardt in a 2025 Bronco Sport Sasquatch, and Karisa Haydon and Trista Smith, who are racing a 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak.
Campbell is well-known as the first female driver to ever finish in the top five at the King of the Hammers, while Clark and Moore are in pursuit of their fifth straight X-Cross victory.
Rebelle Rally entrants will tackle 1,500 miles across eight days. The race kicked off on Wednesday, October 9th and will run through Saturday, October 19th, as drivers tackle tough terrain across California and Nevada. The race isn’t just a contest of speed, however. Racers are not able to use GPS or cell phones to navigate the course and are instead only allowed maps, road books, and compasses to find their way.
