The quickest route has me at a little over 1100 miles but in 18 hours. Take into account 20 minutes per mandatory stop, plus a stop at the rallys founders grave to lay a flag, 3 meals and a minimum of 7 gas stops, a big bonus for a rest stop of at least 2 hours, and I'm already over my 24 hour period, although it could be slightly more than 24 hours, they wont give any more details until the week before it starts.
Yeah, but one of the mandatory stops is in Pennsylvania, so you'll need to factor in construction delays

If I were going to do a rally, I'd do one with a more open route, not grinding around the northeast traffic corridor
