The Steel Ball Run was a transcontinental horse race serving as the main
setting of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 7. However, we never received an
explicit answer as to why it was named in the way it was in-universe, nor out-
of-universe. The only other article we can reasonably assume this name is
referencing is the steel ball, used by the Zeppeli family. But, if anything,
this complicates things further, since the Zeppelis should have no relevant
connection to the race's organiser, Steven Steel. So why was it named the
Steel Ball Run?

Why was the Steel Ball Run race named the Steel Ball Run?


This race is quite literally a reference to the movie [Cannonball
Run](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cannonball_Run), where teams gathered
in Connecticut to start a cross-country car race. What is a cannonball?
Typically a steel ball.
