Four rigs were named this year’s kings of chrome at the Great American Trucking Show last week in the fifth Overdrive’s Pride & Polish National Championship. The event, in addition to hosting dozens of show truck competitors from around the country, was the venue for the culmination of the 2014-2015 championship season, holding a special round of judging for the roughly 20 trucks that qualified to compete in this year’s championship.

Below are beauty shots of those four winners, taken off site following the announcement by Shift Creative’s Brian Bourke. Also below are off-site beauty shots of the five GATS Pride & Polish Best of Show winners, who are now qualified to compete in the 2016 Pride & Polish National Championship judging round at next year’s GATS.
