Hampton, Georgia — The Stars, Stripes & White Lines Truck Show will return to EchoPark Speedway on November 7 and 8, 2025, bringing elite custom rigs and the National Championship back to the region. Hosted by the Bennett Family of Companies, the annual event combines heavy-duty horsepower with a major fundraising effort for military veterans.
Trucking operations, owner-operators, and families descend upon the Georgia speedway for a weekend featuring custom big rigs, motorcycle displays, and jeep exhibits. Beyond the chrome and custom paint, the gathering serves as a primary fundraiser for Wreaths Across America, directing all proceeds toward placing holiday wreaths on 20,700 veteran gravesites at Andersonville National Cemetery.
The headline attraction remains the National Truck Show Championship, where top custom-built trucks battle for the title of World's Most Beautiful Truck. Attendees can also participate in the signature $10,000 Golf Ball Drop, which features numbered balls released from a Huey helicopter onto a target below. Country music artist and working trucker Tony Justice will provide live musical entertainment throughout the weekend.
What This Means for Drivers
For independent contractors and company drivers looking for a weekend off the OTR grind, the Hampton event offers a prime networking opportunity within the heavy-haul and custom truck community. Owner-operators attending the show can connect directly with carrier executives from the Bennett Family of Companies to discuss leasing opportunities and freight options. Attending industry showcases also gives drivers a firsthand look at top-tier maintenance standards and custom fabrication trends currently shaping the professional highway sector.
