Stars, Stripes, and White Lines Truck Show Slated For November 7th and 8th

ATLANTA, GA…. It’s almost time for the 2nd Annual Stars, Stripes, and White Lines Truck Show sponsored by Bennett Motor Express! The show will be held at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on November 7th and 8th.  All proceeds benefit Wreaths Across America, specifically to place 23,000 wreaths on graves in the Andersonville National Cemetery. 

Last year’s event drew over 80 trucks and so far over 100 trucks have already registered for this year’s show and many more are expected to attend.

There will be over $40,000  awarded in prizes.  Live music will be featured each night as well as a Salute To Veterans and a Lap The Track fundraiser.  The show will also host a helicopter golf ball drop with a $10,000 winner for closest to the hole as well as other prizes.  Golf balls are $100 each.

In an interview with Bennett Motor Express CEO David Lowry, he told me, “We will have a Wash and Show Class for anyone who would like to bring their truck. The show will also include classes for Jeeps and Motorcycles and an Open Class for any kind of vehicle. As a separate event from the Wash and Show, we will be hosting the “Elite Truck Show”, the last of six qualifying “Elite Shows”. 40 Elite Show Trucks and 20 Elite Working Trucks have been chosen to compete in the event.  We are using Professional Judges with 2 celebrity judges to provide an unbiased judging panel.”

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 include MHC Kenworth; Purple Wave Auction; Valley Chrome Plating, Inc.;  Fitzgerald Truck Parts; Time2shine; and Evans Detailing and Polishing.
