Triumphs and Highlights from the 42nd Annual SuperRigs® Competition
The 42nd Annual Shell Rotella® SuperRigs® competition held from May 30 to June 1 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth saw Kaleb Hammett of Dodd City, Texas, taking home the coveted Best of Show award. Hammett's 2019 Peterbilt 389, affectionately known as “Hoss,” dazzled the judges and secured him a $10,000 prize from Shell Rotella. "Hoss" also won the Best Lights category, making Hammett a double winner.

This year’s event offered cash and prizes worth approximately $25,000. Winners were also awarded MyMilesMatter reward miles, and twelve drivers earned the honor of having their trucks featured in the 2025 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.
