In addition, the Rotella Road Show, which uses visual demonstrations to highlight the capabilities and benefits of Shell Rotella Energized Protection engine oils, will also be at SuperRigs.
Owner/operator truckers from across the U.S. and Canada will compete for cash and prizes valued at $25,000 in the truck beauty contest. Additionally, 12 lucky drivers will be selected to have their trucks featured in the 2012 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.
