BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kenny Ziglar II may have just made history at Shell Rotella’s 2026 SuperRigs competition, held June 25-27 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

For the second year in a row, Ziglar earned honors as Best of Show — and with the same truck, a blazing red 2007 Peterbilt 379 that he calls “Scrapin’ By.” Ziglar walked away with a $10,000 cash prize, along with 50,000 My Miles Matter points.

Ziglar also took second place in the Best Lights category and earned a spot in the 2027 Shell Rotella calendar.

Other Best of Show winners include first runner up David Calabrese, with a 2007 Peterbilt 379 and second runner up Todd Dills, with a 2022 Peterbilt.
