time for the rally, and we're especially excited about next year's
big 85th and the even bigger 90th. We're
going to be open year-round with a full bar, breakfast, lunch and
dinner, bringing the Gas Monkey experience to one of my favorite
places in the Black Hills."

atmosphere of rally season. Her extensive experience in the food
and beverage industry, combined with her passion
for motorsports, makes her the ideal person to lead the
team.
"I'm really excited to make this place rock! With excellent
food, drinks, merchandise, a great vibe, and my fun, hardworking
team, everyone who comes is going to have a good time."

will be available year-round. Additionally, limited addition Gas
