Named after a man by the name of Zebulon Pike, an explorer who led an expedition to the area in 1806, Pikes Peak is home to the second oldest motorsports race in America second only to the Indianapolis 500.

The 12.4 mile trek up the mountain consists of 156 treacherous turns to an elevation of 14,110 feet.
