The first-ever Stars, Stripes and White Lines Show filled Atlanta Motor Speedway with excitement on November 1st and 2nd. This event not only attracted truck enthusiasts but also successfully supported Wreaths Across America.
What happened: The show included a Truck, Jeep, and Motorcycle event that drew nearly 600 spectators.
- The Big Rig Truck Show featured divisions like Elite, Bobtail Working Truck, and Patriotic Trucks.
- Alongside the vehicle showcases, a golf ball drop using a Huey helicopter captivated attendees.
The event raised over $20,000 for Wreaths Across America through auctions and other activities, reported according to Bennett Family of Companies.
Why it matters: This initiative, championed by the Bennett Family of Companies, shows trucking's crucial role in fostering community and contributing positively in various ways. The funds raised will aid in honoring fallen veterans by placing wreaths at Andersonville National Cemetery next month.
Plans are already set to keep this tradition alive in future years.
