“Fox & Friends<\/a>” co-host Steve Doocy wrapped up his Route 66 road trip Thursday, spending time in Springfield, Missouri, to celebrate the historic highway\u2019s 100th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n

The visit marked the final leg of Doocy\u2019s three-day journey along the iconic roadway, often called the “Mother Road,” which stretches from Chicago<\/a> to Santa Monica, California.<\/p>\n

After kicking off the trip in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and traveling through Kansas, Doocy arrived in Springfield, widely recognized as the birthplace of Route 66.<\/p>\n

‘REALLY BIG DEAL’: 13-MILE SECRET OF AMERICA’S HEARTLAND REVEALED BY FOX NEWS’ STEVE DOOCY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Everybody today here in Springfield is wearing their Route 66 merch,” Doocy said during a live segment.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Doocy was broadcasting live from along the route, where locals and car enthusiasts<\/a> gathered with classic vehicles to mark the milestone.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s been really interesting because so many people in all the towns that we have visited have turned out,” Doocy said. “In these towns, this is a very big deal.”<\/p>\n

Classic Mustangs lined the roadway as part of the celebration, with owners showing off vehicles tied to the history<\/a> and culture of Route 66.<\/p>\n

The segment also featured former Missouri Rep. Billy Long, set to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to Iceland.<\/p>\n

Long emphasized Springfield\u2019s historic significance.<\/p>\n

“This is the birthplace of Route 66,” Long said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was born here. Route 66 was born here.”<\/p>\n

Long shared the story of how Route 66 got its name, adding his signature auctioneer style.<\/p>\n

“A bunch of highway commissioners had an idea to put an intercontinental road<\/a> through the country,” Long said, adding that an auctioneer in the room counted through possible route numbers before landing on 66.<\/p>\n

The celebration in Springfield marked the official kickoff of events commemorating the highway\u2019s centennial, with communities across the country expected to take part throughout America’s 250th birthday year.<\/a><\/p>\n
