The 30th Anniversary Shell Rotella SuperRigs will take place May 17-19 at the Speedco in Joplin, Mo.

The Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition is a truck beauty contest for actively working trucks. Owner-operator truckers from the U.S. and Canada can compete for cash and prizes, and 12 drivers will have their trucks featured in the 2013 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.

Speedco will host this year's event at its Joplin store off Route I-44 at Exit 11. Speedco will also be holding a grand reopening celebration for its Joplin location, which was severely damaged by last year's tornado.

Shell Rotella SuperRigs will feature a number of events for drivers, their families, and the entire community, including a truck parade in downtown Joplin, concerts and fireworks.

The competition is judged by industry professionals who work for major trucking publications and broadcast companies. Judges score the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail/finish, originality, and workmanship. In total, 18 working trucks receive awards for categories such as Best of Show, Tractor, Tractor/Trailer Combination and Classic categories.

Cash and prizes for the event will be in excess of $25,000. Every entrant in the contest will receive a gift package valued at more than $50 while supplies last.

More details about the event will be announced at the Mid-America Trucking Show in March.
