In 2026, DRIVE One is taking a backseat at "America's Greatest Hot Rod Show" to the legend who started it all.
The weekend of February 27th, we'll be celebrating the life and legacy of Paul Tregembo Sr. by entering the hot rod that best personified him into the very competition he turned into a platform for his students.
Senior's "Teacher's Pet", his 1941 Willys Gaser, will return to the Detroit Autorama in a special display honoring his 60 years of teaching, the 90+ project vehicles his programs built, and the hundreds of lives he reshaped across several districts.
DRIVE One Students are hard at work getting the Willys ready, and we're anxious to both unveil our display and celebrate a teacher like no other later this month.

DRIVE ONE TechCenter is featured in the Macomb Daily today. This organization is one of the local nonprofits that Rick’s Tire and Wheel are proud to help.

A group of young DRIVE One students spent three years building a stock car from a Ford Focus and took it to the track notching a sixth-place finish.
