Western Stars shine in Toowoomba
The second annual Western Star Show n Shine was hailed as a great success despite a drop of rain...The Western Star Trucks Show n Shine held in Toowoomba over the weekend has been hailed as a huge success with a range of gleaming Stars displayed by proud owners and truck enthusiasts of all ages enjoying the party.
Held at the Toowoomba Showgrounds with support from recently-announced Penske Commercial Vehicles’ selling dealer, Pengelly Truck and Trailers, the trucks on display were judged across various categories with the Truck of the Show award presented to North Queensland Truck and Machinery Movements’ Phatcat 4800.
The second annual Show n Shine hosted by Penske Commercial Vehicles featured a range of fun activities for all including appearances by Shell V-Power Racing drivers Fabian Coulthard and Scott McLaughlin, and music performances by Mick Lindsay and Troy Cassar-Daley.
“Our second Western Star Trucks Show n Shine was a fantastic success,” said Kevin Dennis, managing director of Penske Commercial Vehicles.
“There was a hugely impressive array of trucks on display for all the attendees to see – from the 2800 through to the 6900.
“It was great to give customers the opportunity to meet each other and chat about their much-loved Stars.
“The Shell V-Power Racing drivers were also a huge hit with attendees, as were musicians Troy Cassar-Daley and Mick Lindsay who put on a rocking show to end the fabulous day!
“Despite the weather dampening the afternoon’s activities, we were pleased to see the sun reappear prior to the concert.
“While we work to reach our customers through various channels, the Show n Shine is a tangible outcome of the commitment we made to increase our direct-to-customer activities.
“We also had fantastic support from our suppliers and sponsors who helped to make it the great day it was.”
