The panel of judges for the 44th annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs Truck Beauty Contest, taking place June 25 to 27 at Bristol Motor Speedway, is officially set.
Returning to the panel are veteran judges Eric Harley and Mike Gaffin, joined by new judge David McKinney. Rounding out the group is special guest judge Leo Barros, whose deep ties to the trucking community and longstanding presence at SuperRigs make his addition especially meaningful. He is stepping in for long-time judge Jami Jones, who is unable to join us this year.
This year’s panel of judges will look a little different, as long-time judge Jones will not be joining due to scheduling conflicts, and the addition of two new judges. Jones, Harley and Gaffin have helped shape the competition into what it is today and earned the respect of drivers across the industry. Barros, as a guest judge, and McKinney, as a new judge, are looking forward to serving and continuing the strong tradition of Shell Rotella SuperRigs.
