The Open Road Rallys Story

Kelly Whitton began her automotive event career with the Bell Lexus North Scottsdale Copperstate 1000. For 16 years she planned and organized the annual event which took 80, pre-1973 vintage sports, racing and grand touring automobiles on a 4-day, 1,000 mile journey across Arizona. The event has raised more than $9M for Phoenix Art Museum. During this time she also assisted Hagerty Insurance with rallies and tours in Arizona and assisted local sports car clubs and enthusiasts with rallies, tours, and cars & coffee events.

In 2019 she formed Open Road Rallys and brought in her friend and co-worker on the Copperstate 1000 into the group.
