VIDEO: PKY Truck Beauty Show Results 2012 MATS

Published:

On the last day of the Mid-America Truck Show, Bud Farquhar and Eric Hartley, from Red Eye Radio, announced the winners of the 23rd annual Paul K. Young Truck Beauty Competition in front of  a full auditorium.

Rows of awards stood erect and gleaming at the podium. One by one each winner was called down to accept his or her award. Many of the recipients took the walk to the podium more than once, winning in more than one category. As award winners took their walk to the podium, cheers, hoots and razzes were called from the crowd.

Perhaps the most tear-jerking moment of the ceremony came toward the end of the ceremony when the family of Jake Eilen presented the ‘Jake Eilen’ Award.

Some of the day’s most memorable events were when Donald Bowling’s breast cancer tribute themed truck won “Custom Paint Combo,” “Best Working Combo” and “Best Company Combo,” when the “Kick-Start” award was given to young Coleman Doverspike, who joyfully announced to the crowd that he designed his truck the way he did because he loves Smokey and the Bandit.
