Lots of rain and some lightning didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of contestants as Shell Rotella SuperRigs got underway at the Texas Motor Speedway in Forth Worth, Texas, on May 30.
Drivers and their families were busy cleaning and polishing the chrome and paint on their rides before queuing up in front of the judges. This year, truckers from across North America will compete for more than $25,000 in cash and prizes in 24 categories.
