LargeCars & Guitars will return on May 8–9, 2026, to Bristol Motor Speedway at 151 Speedway Blvd, Bristol, TN 37620, following continued growth in attendance, industry participation, and charitable impact.
Founded by Tony Justice, a professional truck driver, SiriusXM regular, and country music artist with over 26 million streams, LargeCars & Guitars brings together the trucking community, live music, and philanthropic partners for a two-day national event.
Since its inception, LargeCars & Guitars has raised more than $180,000 in support of Susan G. Komen and Speedway Children’s Charities. The event was created in response to a personal connection to breast cancer and continues to serve as a growing fundraising platform supporting both organizations.
The 2026 event will feature a large-scale showcase of custom trucks, live musical performances, and expanded programming throughout the weekend.
Programming includes:
- Custom truck showcase featuring rigs from across the United States
- Live concert performances headlined by John Schneider, widely recognized for his role in The Dukes of Hazzard, along with Ruby Leigh and Tony Justice
- Truck light show at Bristol Motor Speedway
- Convoy programming and live auction supporting charitable initiatives
- Opening ceremonies and scheduled event programming
The event is structured as a non-judged show, emphasizing participation and community engagement across the trucking industry while continuing to expand its reach and audience.
LargeCars & Guitars 2026 is presented by the Bennett Family of Companies, Food City, Fitzgerald Truck Parts, and Bad Gear, all of which continue to support the event’s growth and charitable mission.
