Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire LLC (BFNT) is sponsoring the Stars & Stripes Show Truck Events again in 2004.
Stars & Stripes consists of four truck beauty competitions. At each show, competitors vie for top honors and cash prizes. Show categories include Best of Show Bobtail and Combination Awards, and the Competitor’s Choice Award for working trucks. The event also recognizes professional show trucks.
"All of the trucks at these events are best-in-show. They are beautiful, impeccably maintained and outfitted with only the very best. It's only natural that Bridgestone/Firestone's truck and bus group sponsor the Stars & Stripes Show Truck Event and we’re pleased to be part of the shows," said Don Darden, manager, marketing communications and advertising, commercial tire marketing, BFNT.
In addition to sponsoring the Stars & Stripes Truck Events, competitors and show attendees will win gifts and prizes from Bridgestone/Firestone.
