If it’s the middle of July in Tennessee...and you own a Chevrolet or GMC truck, there is only one place and event you want to be at… The Southeastern Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals.

The 2021 event was held again at the Wilson County Fairgrounds in Lebanon Tennessee. The move for the event last year (2020) to the much more spacious location proved to be a good one, with this years event seeing even more entries at the event than ever before. 2021 was the 11th year for the Southeastern Chevy-GMC Truck Nationals. Eleven years ago show founder Brian Ashley had an idea that GM truck lovers would like to have an event to show off their 42 cool rides. Brian took the chance and put together a gathering that took off like a rocket!

Over the past 11 years, the show grew and locations changed to accommodate the ever growing level of participation. The show also grew from a one day event to a two day event! To do this, you have to have a lot of fun lined up for everyone coming to your show, and its obvious that Brian and his team have done just that.

Brian and his team have made this one of the biggest truck events anywhere in the USA, with participants coming from all over to be part of the fun. This years show saw 1300 plus

trucks finding their way to the show site.

With 27 custom built trophies, that were hand built by Bullock’s Bodywerk’s, the award winners earned something very special to take home with them at the end of the event.

This event is a success because its put on by a “truck person” and not some big company. Brian and his team understand what show participates want to see in an event, and in our opinion that makes a huge difference in a successful show or just another one on the calendar.
