Buck Motorsports Park, located 10 miles south of Lancaster, PA in the town of Quarryville, holds a full schedule of supercharged, family events each year. "The Playground of Power" has something for everyone as they host truck & tractor pulls, monster truck events, and demolition derby events just to name a few. Every year in August, they host one of the biggest diesel trucking events in the country with their Truckers Day At The Buck spectacular.

The 2016 version marked the shows 27th anniversary and it took place on Saturday, August 20th. A steady stream of customs and classics rolled into The Buck all day long and over 300 trucks filled the field from one end to the other. Spectators and drivers got to see some of the finest working show trucks on the East Coast competing for trophies in a number of classes in the huge show & shine. With plenty of on-site camping available, several companies brought a number of trucks and turned the show into a company get together. As in past years, the proceeds from the show & shine went to the kids at the Children's Miracle Network.

A number of vendors were on hand with everything from cool truckin' t-shirts to brand new trucks and trailers to add to your fleet. The summer of 2016 has been one of the hottest in recent memory and Truckers Day At The Buck cranked it up even higher! As the afternoon wound down into early evening, the action continued as the nighttime portion of the show featured the highly anticipated diesel truck pulling competition. Teams from all over the country come out to compete. Besides the incredible pulling semis, there were street driven trucks pulling side by side and drag racing on the dirt track to the cheers of the crowd.

The annual "Parade of Champions" let the show & shine winners show off under the lights. All in all, the 27th Annual Truckers Day At The Buck was a huge success. Make plans to attend the 2017 show for a day full of diesel- powered thrills!
