The Top 10 Fastest Cannonball Run Records Ever Set

The Cannonball Run is an unsanctioned coast-to-coast race that traces its roots to 1933 and a man named Erwin George "Cannonball" Baker, who once completed the journey in 53 and a half hours.

Automotive journalist Brock Yates popularized this feat in 1971 when he and Dan Gurney managed to complete the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash in just under 36 hours.

There have been similar races since then, such as the U.S. Express, but Alex and David Maher's 31 hour, 4 minute time set behind the wheel of an E39 M5 in 2006 ushered in the modern age of Cannonball Run record attempts.

Here are the top 10 fastest Cannonball Run records ever set!
