The 22nd annual Rotella SuperRigs Truck Beauty Contest will be held June 24-26 at the Bosselman Travel Plaza in Grand Island, Neb.
Last year, some 100 contestants from the United States and Canada participated in the event, which was held in Lodi, Ohio.
Participants compete for more than $10,000 in cash and prizes, and 12 truckers will be selected to appear on the 2005 Rotella SuperRigs calendar. In all, 18 working trucks will receive awards for categories that include Best of Show, Tractor, Tractor/Trailer Combination and Classic. A panel of celebrity judges will score the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail/finish, originality and workmanship. Judging takes about 20 minutes and contestants do not need to be present to win.
The contest is free to all participants, and each will receive a gallon of Shell Rotella T SAE15-W-40 multigrade engine oil, a gallon of Shell Rotella ELC Extended Life coolant/antifreeze, a tube of Shell Retinax LC grease, a Rotella SuperRigs hat and T-shirt and a Shell Rotella T mini maglight.
The Bosselman Travel Plaza is located in central Nebraska, off I-80 at Exit 312 North.
Shell Rotella T has been the contest sponsor since 1981. Contest hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, June 24-25, and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 26.
