The show will feature more than 800 custom cars, trucks and motorcycles in addition to contests, live performances and celebrity appearances.
The Ridler Award, with a prize of an engraved trophy, custom-made embroidered jackets and a check for $10,000, will be awarded to the vehicle that shows the most creativity, engineering and quality workmanship on a customized car.
If hot rods aren’t your thing, hang out with celebrities like John Schneider, aka Bo Duke, Barry Meguiar and Dale Earnhardt Jr; plus WWE Superstars, Charlotte Flair and Roman Reigns on Friday and Saturday.
