A food truck stuck for hours. A mid-course engine swap. Tents launched into orbit. We pulled together ten rally moments that pushed limits, rewrote the script, and still have the team shaking their heads (and sometimes laughing).
Since 2016, Daniel Mayfield has been behind some of the most striking and unforgettable visuals of the Rebelle Rally—often captured from hundreds of feet above. A creative powerhouse, Daniel wears a lot of hats: drone pilot, editor, production strategist, and the guy you definitely want around when gear gets complicated in the middle of nowhere.
For OG Rebelle Rachel Micander, the 2016 Rebelle Rally wasn’t just about off-road competition—it was a turning point. Since finishing 9th in the inaugural event, she’s earned a Master’s in Geology, co-authored a book on Nevada’s landscapes, and fueled her passion for cars by restoring a ’95 BMW M3 and helping grow her local car community.
To kick off our Top Ten series, we figured—who better to start with than Chrissie Beavis? Chrissie’s been with the Rebelle since the very beginning. She’s our Head Scoring Judge, but more than that, she’s seen it all: the wins, the wipeouts, the “what were we thinking?” moments. Her advice isn’t sugarcoated or overly complicated—it’s the kind of stuff you wish someone had told you before your first rally.
The Rebelle Rally and Pennzoil announced a two-year extension of their partnership through 2026, made official by Pennzoil representatives alongside Rebelle Rally founder Emily Miller at the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube NASCAR Cup Series event this past weekend.
Andrea has been with us since the very beginning. If you’re familiar with the Rebelle, you’re undoubtedly familiar with Andrea. From our beginnings with just 36 teams in Year One to consistently selling out and having a waitlist, Andrea has played a pivotal role in our journey.
For Racquel Black, the Rebelle Rally was more than just an off-road competition—it was a space to sharpen the skills she already carried with her. Growing up on the Navajo Nation meant resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving were second nature. But in the desert, surrounded by a team of strong women, she learned just how valuable those skills were in ways she hadn’t expected.
From Rebelle Founder & Director Emily Miller – Feeling lost can be terrifying. But the typical response and spiral—panic, freezing up, or blaming—are NOT inevitable.
For LeeWhay Pasek, the Rebelle Rally wasn’t just about competition—it was a turning point.
“At Tech Inspection in 2021, my rookie year, I sent a down payment on 200+ acres of raw land in New Hampshire just before we shut down our electronics.”
Since then, she and her family have built up a homestead, farm, and orchard. This spring, they’ll add another 350+ fruit and fodder trees and three goats to their property. “It has been an adventure.”
