Were you a part of the Daytona International Speedway Jeep parade last week? If not, that’s really too bad. It was quite the adventure with 1,846 Jeep vehicles all driving together in a 2 mile loop. Starting at 11am, the rainy Jeep parade’s track led both on and off the road, as it is possible for Jeep vehicles to handle rocky terrain.

Some Jeep vehicles made it there all the way from Alaska, and most of the Jeeps in the parade were Wranglers. The Jeep Wrangler might be the most recognized model with it’s utilitarian appearance and ability to handle rough driving situations.
