MATS Beauties: PKY Championship winners

This year's Paul K. Young Truck Beauty Championship at the Mid-America Trucking Show drew a record number of entries—so many that organizers had to be creative with parking them all in the limited reserved space just outside the West Wing at the Kentucky Expo Center. And while some contestants likely left the awards presentations a tad disappointed, the tears of joy shared by more than a few of the big winners will inspire almost everyone to come back and try again next year.

For a look at all of the entries, see the gallery at AmericanTrucker.com. The complete Championship Report is now available online.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The photographer apologizes that the dawn light obscures some of the wonderful color, but after a couple of rainy days Saturday's sunrise was the only time the trucks weren't covered up with admirers.)
