Four luxury sports car drivers were arrested at Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) on Tuesday afternoon. The arrests followed reports of multiple high-end vehicles drag racing on both lanes of Teton Park Road, according to a press release from the National Park Service.

　　The drivers names and vehicle types have not been released publicly, but reports indicate they are associated with a private high-end rally that visits iconic locations throughout the country.

　　The incident remains under investigation, and further charges may be pending, the press release states.

　　Around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24, calls began coming in regarding unsafe driving on Teton Park Road, a scenic stretch of corridor that runs along the base of the Teton Range. The GTNP press release states, “the dangerous activity occurred on a scenic corridor heavily used by visitors, park employees, and wildlife.”

　　GearJunkie contacted GTNPs media coordinator numerous times for this story but did not receive a response by publication time.

　　According to the websites sign-up page, NuRally had its annual OutRun event scheduled for June 21-27. The event starts in Bellevue, Wash. Participants then drove through Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Jackson Hole, Wyo.; and other scenic areas before ending in Las Vegas, Nev.

　　The OutRun page states that participants will “feel the energy of the Teton Range.” However, it doesn’t specify whether the tour goes through the park. According to the website, the price to participate in the OutRun rally is $13,995. That price includes stays in five-star hotels, private dinners, and professional media.

　　The terms and conditions on the Nu Rally website state that “NuRally (the ‘Event’) is NOT a race. You must NOT compete in any manner with other participants.”

　　NuRally did not respond to Gear Junkie’s request for comment.

　　However, it seems drivers don’t always follow the rules of the events. In one video posted by a NuRally participant, a driver is being filmed while stating, “Dude, 180.” The camera then pans to the speedometer showing 179 miles per hour.

　　Drive Slow, Save Lives –Human Animal

　　The famous Grizzly Bear 399 and her cubs grazing in a field in Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming). Like anywhere else in the U.S., driving over the speed limit in a national park is illegal. Not only does it put human lives in danger, but it also threatens wildlife. In Grand Teton, moose, bears, deer, and elk are commonly sighted near the road, and even on it. And vehicle collisions with wild animals do happen.

　　In early May 2025, NPS issued a report of a deceased grizzly bear found in GTNP along Highway 26. It was identified as Bear 1058. An investigation indicated that the bear was hit by a vehicle and succumbed to its injuries near the road. The driver was never located.

　　Just months prior, in October 2024, 1058s mother, a well-known resident of Grand Teton National Park, Bear 399, was also struck by a vehicle and killed.

　　Teton Park Road is a two-lane road that passes by some of the park’s most iconic viewpoints and trailheads. It is one of the parks most popular drives to look for animals and take in the scenery. Speeding and reckless driving put park-goers and wildlife at risk. The speed limit on Teton Park Road is 45 miles per hour.

　　The NPS press release on Tuesdays arrests does not specify how fast the rally car drivers were going. But its safe to assume they were driving in excess of 45 mph.

　　“This kind of behavior is unsafe, irresponsible, and completely unacceptable in a national park, said Grand Teton Superintendent Chip Jenkins. It puts visitors, staff, and wildlife at serious risk.
