The People Behind It
From Newport to the starting line — a look at the team and moments driving this event forward.
Hi! My name is Jack Masse. The Rhode Rally is my senior project — a charity car rally with one simple goal: to harness Rhode Island's car culture and community to raise money for causes that matter. I've been a volunteer at the Audrain Automobile Museum for almost three years, and that's where this idea was born. I'm honored to be working alongside Ben Chester and the entire Audrain team to bring it to life.
For the last eight years, I have been deeply involved with a wide scope of events we have hosted through the Audrain Automobile Museum, incorporating everything from domestic and international rallies, to a world class four-day Concours & Motor week we run here in Newport. As an extension to our growing internship program, I am thrilled to help guide Jack toward his goals of running a world class event. We are excited to hone in on all details of this dynamic event, so it is executed as smoothly as a new Cadillac!
The Audrain Automobile Museum is one of Newport's most celebrated cultural institutions — and the official home of The Rhode Rally. Their support and collaboration have been essential in bringing this senior project to life as a real, community-driven event.
