“It’s a charity that’s real close to mine and Misty’s heart after what she went through,” Justice shares. “and learning how that disease impacts the entire family, not just the person with the cancer, but everyone around them. And it’s a big deal to go through, so we definitely support that.”

Additionally, the event will raise money for the Bristol Children’s Charity, helping young ones across Tennessee and Virginia.

Bigger Venue, Bigger Dreams

Last year, Large Cars & Guitars showcased nearly 200 trucks at Smokies Stadium and raised nearly $56,000 for charity. With the move to Bristol Motor Speedway, Justice is hopeful for an even larger turnout.

“We actually have unlimited space for bobtails and combos,” Justice said. “That’d be cool to see that place filled up, all that parking lot around there. But that would take probably about 10,000 trucks.” He quipped that he’s not sure if he wants to “tackle that kind of goal or not, but you never know what something might turn into. We’re happy with where it is.”

Rather than being a competitive truck show, Justice calls the gathering more of a “trucker reunion.” The goal is connection and camaraderie, with an emphasis on enjoying the trucks without the pressure of perfection.

”The truckers who bring their rigs clean their trucks up, but they’re not stressed out about them being just dialed in perfectly,” he added.

The only judging involved? That’s up to the kids attending, who vote for their favorite trucks.

Musical Lineup to Rock the Speedway

On top of the incredible truck displays, music takes center stage during the two-day event. Fans can look forward to performances by Tony Justice himself and country music powerhouse Montgomery Gentry ft. Eddie Montgomery on the evening of May 24.

And that’s just the start! With more artists to be announced, attendees are in for two days of unforgettable live country music.

The funds were raised through the successful “Large Cars & Guitars” truck show and given to representative, April Douglas of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Justice and his team are proud to support such an important cause and make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

“This is only possible because of a lot of big-hearted truckers out there who opened their hearts and their wallets,” Justice said.

In only its second year, the Large Cars show in Kodak, Tennessee has nearly doubled in size, featuring an impressive lineup of 175 trucks and attracting thousands of attendees over two action-packed days.

“We were able to raise $45,191 in about an hour and fifteen minutes during the auction,” said Justice. During this time, spots at the lead of an associated Convoy for a Cure were offered up.

“The lead spot,” Justice noted, “went for $10,000,” and it “didn’t take long for the money to start adding up.”

Douglas acknowledged that achieving the group’s mission would have been impossible without valuable contributions from individuals like Justice, his wife, Misty, and all the generous truckers.

“We really can’t do it without people like you,” she said.

The battle hits home for Misty, who fought the battle with breast cancer herself some years back and came out on the other side victorious.

“It’s the people who’ve experienced it and gone through it and understand and want to help others who are going through it,” Douglas said — they really help “with our advocacy and research, and really caring for the breast-cancer community.”

“It’s hard to put into words what it means,” Tony Justice said on having gone through his wife’s experience as a family and coming out the other side with the ability to give back.

‘Greatest Shifts’ Album Now Available

Justice, at this week’s NASCAR races in Nashville, had some exciting news to share along with representatives from the Bennett Family of Companies fleet.

This partnership is a cause for celebration for fans of both NASCAR and Justice’s music.

Justice spent the weekend with the band starting Saturday playing the Fan Zone at the racetrack, followed by a series of acoustic shows as part of the F150 Racing and Rhythm Trout at various campground sites, moving onto another acoustic set Sunday at Bennett’s booth in the Fan Zone.
