Casino Truck Show

SATURDAY 5TH AUGUST 2023 - CASINO CBD

2011 by locals Darren Goodwin and the late Tiny Lollback, who both loved the industry and their hometown of Casino. The idea was borne following the demise of the Lismore Show.

The inaugural Casino Truck Show was held in the Primex grounds and remained there for three years before moving to the town centre. Once the show moved into the CBD it just blossomed. Every year there seems to be more and more trucks and the quality just seems to get better and better. In 2019 the number hit 251 trucks, up from the 207 of 2018. Last year that number rose to 375 trucks, and attracted a crowd of around 8000 people. Organisers are expecting more entries and more people to attend this yea’s 10th anniversary event.

The Casino Truck Show hosts plenty of kid-friendly activities such as amusements rides, face painting, as well as Australia’s top professional freestyle motocross team, market stalls and live entertainment.

North Coast Petroleum continues to support the Casino Truck Show as naming rights sponsor. Highway Lights has naming rights for the truck parade, Tyrepower is sponsoring Airtime FMX, Robuk Engineering is sponsoring the Country Mud band and a new category of trophies, Toowoomba Truck Centre Specialists has contributed to the Elite Series category, general trophies are sponsored by the Brown & Hurley Group and will be presented to more than 80 winners and placegetters in 16 categories.

Event Ambassador Jon Kelly, from Heavy Haulage Assets, is Event Ambassador and will set the wow factor with an elaborate display of trucks. Jon has been attending the Truck Show since its inception; his support and recent promotion via his Discovery TV series, Aussie Truck Rehab, has been immeasurable.

The TTSC Group is sponsoring the exclusive Top Five Judged Elite Series awards, where each winner receives $500, and the Dawson’s

Haulage Best Fleet Series offers $800 for frst place, $600 for second and $400 for third.

Truckwriters and MasterArt Designs have teamed up to support the Best Paint trophies, while the Royans Group has come on board to deliver the Industry Pride and Passion awards – a new category for 2023. The premier award for the show, the Tiny Lollback Rig of the Show, comes with $1000 in prizemoney along with some unique, oneoff 6061 Billet goodies, crafted by Monkey Spunk Fabrications, as well as the towering Rig of the Show trophy and the winner’s name etched on the plaque.
