ATLANTA, GA…. The 2nd Annual Stars, Stripes, and White Lines Truck Show sponsored by Bennett Motor Express was held at the EchoPark Speedway  in McDonough, Georgia on November 7-8, 2025.  All proceeds benefitted Wreaths Across America, specifically to place 20,700 wreaths on graves in the Andersonville National Cemetery. 

Gorgeous trucks competed in the National Truck  Championship.  Additionally, the Stars, Stripes, and White Truck Show hosted a Big Rig, Jeep, and Motorcycle Show.   There were vendors, food trucks, and a live auction as well  as live performances by Long Haul Paul, and Psycho Devilles, Mark Ware and Tony Justice. The Golf Ball Drop had 499 numbered golf balls that were dropped from a Huey helicopter toward a painted target. The Golf Ball Drop had cash prizes from $,1000 to $10,000 and all of the winners generously donated their prizes back to Wreaths Across America.

The Stars, Stripes, and White Lines Truck Show was started by Lee Gentry, retired Executive VP at Bennett.  Also instrumental in getting the show started was Bennett’s Kris Rzepkowski.  The Event Organizer, Evan Steger, owner of Evans Detailing  and Polishing, has worked very hard to ensure a successful truck show.

Some of the show sponsors included MHC Kenworth; Purple Wave Auction; Valley Chrome Plating, Inc.;  Fitzgerald Truck Parts; Time2shine; and Evans Detailing and Polishing.
