2023's race was one for the books! We had 27 kids facing off for the championship in Akron, 11 super stock and 16 stock racers.
We had great support from World Wide Technology Raceway Gives, Napa Racing, Sera Honda, the Hill Neighborhood, our partners and volunteers.
We are aimed to grow these next few years and hope that you sponsor the race, a racer, or build a kit with your favorite dare-devil (age 7-18).
Stop by our booth at the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 Indy Race August 26th and 27th.

About
The All-American Soap Box Derby is a youth racing program for boys and girls ages 7-18 to compete in the Stock or Super Stock divisions. The Soap Box Derby has run nationally since 1934. The regional St. Louis race has a tradition since at least the 1950's. Today, we race down Macklind Ave. on The Hill and have been for over 15 years.
Winners of each division of the St. Louis regional race are eligible to move on to the World Championship finals, which is held each August at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio. Here, hundreds of kids will compete for 1 week to crown the All-American Soap Box Derby World Champion.
The All-American Derby youth program is administered by International Soap Box Derby, Inc., An Akron-based non-profit corporation that seeks to inspire good sportsmanship and work to ensure races are safe, fun, and fair.
