The First Stars, Stripes and White Lines Show Benefitting Wreaths Across America Yielded High Success at Atlanta Motor Speedway

Hampton, GA (November 3, 2024) - On November 1^st and 2^nd, the Atlanta Motor Speedway (AMS) filled with people from all over the world as the Stars, Stripes and White Lines Show kicked-off. The Bennett Family of Companies, local to Henry County, was proud to lead this charitable event in support of Wreaths Across America.

A Truck, Jeep and Motorcycle Show took place on Friday and Saturday, yielding nearly 600 enthusiastic spectators, making the event's first year a resounding success.

The show was packed with activities, including the highly anticipated 2nd Annual Golf Ball Drop. Each golf ball that was purchased was placed in a Huey helicopter that flew over the infield of AMS and dropped at random for a chance to win huge prizes shown below.

Throughout the weekend, attendees enjoyed a series of divisions for the big rig truck show, elite, bobtail working truck, semi tractor and trailer, and patriotic with winners in each division.

The Big Rig Truck Show was comprised of different classes including Elite Trucks, Bobtail Working Trucks, Semi Tractor and Trailer (Combo) Trucks and Patriotic Trucks. Trucks were voted on by the general public to award winners of each division.

Lindsay Lawler and Tony Justice, featuring Bennett's own David Lowry on the harmonica, performed at the Speedway's infield alongside a Truck and Jeep light show. Additionally, a live auction was conducted which successfully raised over $20,000 for Wreaths Across America. The generosity and support of the attendees, sponsors, vendors and the Taylor Family Foundation was instrumental in achieving this milestone to lay a wreath on graves at Andersonville National Cemetery next month.

The Stars, Stripes and White Lines Truck Show exemplifies the spirit of community and charity and we look forward to continuing this tradition in the years to come.
