Across November 7 and 8, truck drivers from across the country brought their rigs to compete for national titles in four categories: limited bobtail, limited combo, working bobtail, and working combo. The trucks and drivers were invited based on standout performances at other shows throughout the year.

2025 National Champions:

• Limited Combo: Don Wood, DSD Transport, 2003 Peterbilt 379
• Limited Bobtail: CJ Nairn & Drew Royce, 2025 Kenworth W900L
• Working Combo: Rob Baesel, AN Transport, 2024 Peterbilt 389
• Working Bobtail: Kenny Ziglar, Ziglar Transport, 2007 Peterbilt 379

Don Wood’s “High Maintenance” 2003 Peterbilt 379 took a celebratory lap around the track as one of the event’s standout winners.

The show also featured motorcycle and Jeep competitions across categories such as Best in Stock, Custom, Old-School, Bagger, and Sound. An Open Class champion was named for Best Overall, completing the lineup of winners across all machines.

A signature highlight of the weekend was the golf ball drop, where 499 numbered balls were dropped from a Huey helicopter toward a painted target. Winners donated all cash prizes, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, directly to Wreaths Across America, amplifying the charitable impact of the event.

Marcia G. Taylor, owner and CEO of the Bennett Family of Companies, said, “It’s truly amazing to see everyone come out to support such an important mission of remembering the fallen, honoring those who serve, and teaching the next generation about the sacrifice of freedom. I’m honored to have seen the event more than double in size since last year, and I can’t wait to see what Stars, Stripes and White Lines 2026 brings.”

The 2025 SSWL National Championship reinforced the strong sense of community in the trucking world, showcasing drivers’ skills, their rigs, and their dedication to giving back while celebrating the culture of big rigs on the road.
