The 2021 Overdrive‘s Pride & Polish virtual contest concluded Thursday afternoon with six trucks and their owners being named champs across seven categories.
Three finalists were chosen in each of seven categories by Overdrive reader voting over a three-week period ending July 11. Custom truck owners submitted 64 entries into the contest in multiple categories, and these entries received hundreds of online votes. Winners were selected by a panel of editorial judges.
