The program is a contest that honors professional drivers who demonstrate hard work, generosity and bravery.
Starting Sunday, July 5, anyone can nominate a professional driver to be a Road Warrior by visiting the Road Warrior site and telling his or her story for a chance to win the $1,000 regional prize and the $10,000 grand prize. From Sept. 14 through Sept. 30, people can vote on one grand prize winner from the pool of five regional winners.
Pilot Flying J will celebrate last year’s Road Warrior winner, Kyle Cones, at the Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola on Sunday, July 5, at the Daytona International Speedway with special access to the day’s events. Cones, a U.S. Army veteran and professional driver, was injured during his time in Afghanistan. Once transitioning to civilian life, Cones’ job choices were limited – until he realized that driving a truck was the perfect lifestyle and career opportunity for him. Cones has been recognized for his commitment to safety and his loyalty to his fellow drivers, family and country.
