Updated Jul 28, 2010

Alex Debogorski, star of “Ice Road Truckers” television show, will sign autographs in the Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions booth at The Great American Trucking Show in Dallas, Aug. 26-28.

Bridgestone, a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, will be in the Dallas Convention Center, at booth #16089. Debogorski will be featured with the Firestone-brand truck tire team.

Debogorski will appear Aug. 26-27 from 1-4 p.m. and Aug. 28 from 12:30-3 p.m.

A trucker for 38 years, Debogorski has been driving the treacherous ice roads of the Northwest Territories, Canada, for 28 years. Described as a larger-than-life character and something of a good-luck-charm to his fellow truckers, he typically pulls the first load onto the ice each season.
