- Carlisle Truck Nationals-A Summer Tradition!
- Carlisle Truck Nationals � A Summer Tradition! By Pam Pollock The Carlisle Truck Nationals, held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, Pennsylvania on August 2-4, featured events and fun for the entire family. Over 1,700 trucks of all sizes, makes and models were on display at the show field and in the fair buildings. Event organizers said that the 2019 truck registration was the highest since 2003 and this year�s event ranks within the top 5 all-time turnouts for the show. The ever-popular Monster Truck Shows and Rides thrilled attendees. The Big Rig Truck Show and Shine had a great turnout of truly beautiful trucks. U.S. Express had their military trucks on display again this year (Movin� Out had a feature on them in the November 2018 issue). Even a torrential downpour on Saturday afternoon did not damper the spirits of the people who flocked to the show to wander the fairgrounds and ogle the trucks. Children frolicked in the huge rain puddles left from the storm and drivers quickly got their towels out and wiped down the trucks, making them shiny once again. Plans are already underway for the 2020 Carlisle Nationals, which will be held on August 7-9. Registration is now open; you can call 717-243-7855 or visit www.CarlisleEvents.com for more information. 2019 Carlisle Truck Nationals Big Rig Show & Shine Winners List Conventional Cabover Tractor Sleeper: 1st: Scott Diller/Lanita Co., 1981 Kenworth W900A; 2nd: Andrew Bradway/Bradway Trkg., 1986 Peterbilt 359; 3rd: Charles E.
