HOUSTON – Shell Lubricants will hold its 23rd annual ROTELLA SuperRigs Truck Beauty Contest on June 19-21 at the TravelCenters of America truck stop in Lodi, Ohio. Last year, more than 100 contestants from 26 states and three Canadian provinces participated in the event, which moves to different venues each year.

Eighteen working trucks will receive awards for Best of Show, Tractor, Tractor/Trailer Combination and Classic categories. A panel of celebrity judges will score the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail, and workmanship.
The contest is free to all participants.
