NASCAR haulers are in town!

NASCAR Haulers - Lineup at Ontario Mills Mall |
So it was a regular Wednesday evening, we were driving around trying to figure out where we
wanted to eat, when a sea of glistening chrome appeared before me. At first I was like "oh cool trucks" and then I started paying attention to their trailers. Turns out NASCAR is in town!
I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but I AM a big 18-wheeler fan (in case anybody missed the memo), and a real-life super-collection of NASCAR haulers definitely is worth putting off dinner for!
I was in hog heaven as I walked around and looked at all these trucks!! What a nice sight it was!
It became clear to me that most NASCAR haulers seem to prefer the International Lonestar, because there was an army of those! Obviously a stylish and attention-grabbing ride, so that makes sense.
FAVORITE NASCAR DRIVER PICKED:
|
#19 - Mike Bliss , Kenworth NASCAR Hauler |
Favorite NASCAR driver? I never had one, since I am not a NASCAR devotee, but I guess my pick for NASCAR favorite would have to be based on these trucks.
Despite the flaws very little design on the trailer (yet), and the glaring Toyota logo (I'm a Ford girl myself ...), I'd have to go with
#19 Mike Bliss as that was the only KENWORTH hauler out of the bunch!
|
#14 Tony Stewart - Bass Pro NASCAR hauler |
But you better watch it Mike, best not get rid of that Kenworth! The "Bass Pro" trailer for Tony Stewart is a close second, simply based on favorite shop and he also has a cool NASCAR Peterbilt hauler -- a very close 2nd choice ;-) )
FAVORITE TRUCK DESIGNMy favorite overall truck design had to have been the FedEx truck!
|
#11 Denny Hamlin - FedEx NASCAR hauler |
I just loved their "Race Car box", it's very clever, simple and clean design, love the optical illusion of the folded cardboard box with the car in it AND the detail of the shipping label was a very cool highlight!

#11 Denny Hamlin - FedEx NASCAR hauler shipping label |
STRANGEST TRUCK/SPONSOR COMBO:
Cheez-It and Pest Control! Let's just say I hope you never experience both at once.
|
EAT IT - Cheez-It! |
|
DEFEAT IT - Ortho |
Still .... bugs and food don't normally mix BUT the trailer looks cool, we'll let it slide ;-)
Anyway ... no matter how you pick your NASCAR driver or what sponsor you are a fan of, here are the best photos I took of the NASCAR haulers from Ontario Mills, CA! Click away & Enjoy!!
