Eric Turner Sr. won Best of Show and Best Interior honors at the 36th Annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs, held recently at White’s Travel Center in Raphine, VA, with his a 2015 Peterbilt 389 with a 2018 Wally-Mo 8-car carrier.

There were multiple levels of elation for Turner winning Best in Show at Shell Rotella, the first of which was pure delight. He was there on vacation as much as anything, with wife Stacy, their sons Carter, 7, Braxton, 6, and Stacy’s father, McKinley Hayward.

“We were more shocked than anything, because when I go to the shows I go for enjoyment, not to really win,” he explained. “And even though I’ve won shows before, I go to have fun. I like just meeting other drivers, letting the kids have fun and getting a break from driving the truck. I just take one week off a year, so I want to have fun.

“The competition at SuperRigs was real, real, real. So that’s why I was shocked that I won.”
