2008 FIREBALL RUN Transcontinental Rally is the only rally to race on the State Police track in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The rally saw its first 18 Wheeler entry... yes he did it "with" the trailer attached.
Louisiana Secretary of State, Jay Dardenne (R), and Baton Rouge Mayor, Kip Holden (D), did an impromptu rendition of Ebony & Ivory at the event's starting line.
Fireball Run Transcontinental Rally's Early Arrival Mixer was held inside the Louisiana State Capitol building and is the only motor-sports event to have been granted this honor.
Infamous Pastor, Jimmy Swaggart was originally scheduled to appear at the "Delta Music Museum" mission in Ferriday, Louisiana. However this did not happen because the Pastor was "unclear" about how his name would associate with the event.
