Winning Shell Rotella SuperRigs once is an accomplishment. Doing it twice with the same truck is something few competitors can claim.
That is exactly what Kenny Ziglar II accomplished during the 2026 Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition, held June 25 through June 27 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. Ziglar earned the event’s highest honor for the second consecutive year with his well-known red 2007 Peterbilt 379, “Scrapin’ By.”
The back-to-back victory adds another milestone to one of trucking’s most recognized truck beauty competitions.
A Second Straight Best of Show Title
In addition to receiving the Best of Show trophy, Ziglar took home a $10,000 cash prize and 50,000 My Miles Matter points.
His award-winning Peterbilt also secured a place in the 2027 Shell Rotella calendar, continuing the truck’s recognition beyond this year’s competition.
The repeat victory stands out because Ziglar earned the top honor with the same truck that captured Best of Show in 2025.
Other Top Finishers
The competition also recognized several other standout trucks during the event.
David Calabrese earned first runner-up honors with a 2007 Peterbilt 379, while Todd Dills finished as second runner-up with a 2022 Peterbilt.
Ziglar also received second place in the Best Lights category, adding another award to an already successful weekend.
