HOUSTON, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Lubricants announced today that the 25th annual Shell ROTELLA SUPERRIGS(R) competition will be held from June 21- 23 in Joplin, Missouri, at the Joplin Petro Stopping Center, I-44, exit 4. The SUPERRIGS(TM) competition is the premier truck beauty contest for actively working trucks. Owner/operator truckers from across the United States and Canada will compete for cash and prizes valued at $25,000. Additionally, 13 lucky drivers will be selected to have their truck featured in the 2008 Shell ROTELLA SUPERRIGS calendar.

Trucks are judged by industry professionals who work for major trucking publications and broadcast companies. Judges score the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail/finish, originality, and workmanship. In total, 25 working trucks receive awards for categories such as Best of Show, Tractor, Tractor/Trailer Combination and Classic categories.

This year, to honor the 25th anniversary of the SUPERRIGS competition, Shell ROTELLA(R) will award one owner/operator with a $50,000 truck makeover by S&J Truck Sales of Fort Wayne, Ind. (http://www.sjtruck.com/). S&J built the "Best of Show" winning truck at the 2007 Mid-America Trucking Show Big-Rig Build- Off, as well as the "People's Choice" winning truck at the 2006 Shell ROTELLA SUPERRIGS competition. Partners for the makeover contest include Bridgestone, Alcoa, and Pana-Pacific. To be considered for the truck makeover, entrants were able to register online or via U.S. mail. Additionally, entries will also be accepted in person at the event from June 21-22. Entered vehicles must be in good mechanical condition, be road-worthy, and be used by the owner in conducting his/her own transport business, and entrants are required to submit a story explaining why they believe they should win the makeover.

"The SUPERRIGS competition provides Shell Lubricants with an opportunity to honor our loyal consumers and celebrate the work that they do.
