52 10-4 Magazine / December 2025 $10K for the Nacogdoches Education Foundation; $35K for Hero Foundation; and $35K for Christ Episcopal. Over the past four years, the Old Town Rig Down show has raised more than $1,000,000 for charitable causes – a true testament to the heart and generosity of the trucking community. The entertainment for Saturday evening featured none other than ‘90s country legend Neil McCoy and one of my personal favorites, Aaron Watson, lighting up the stage. The main stage sat right in the heart of the park, surrounded by trucks, that stretched up the street toward downtown. The concerts were free to the public, offering the community a chance to experience our industry up close and personal, and enjoy a good dose of honky-tonk music. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder – not a single open spot in front, beside or behind the trucks. It was a sea of people and lights, and a genuine Texas Saturday night. Old Town Rig Down was also the last stop to receive the invitation to the Stars, Stripes and White Lines National Championship Show held at EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta, Georgia. The three recipients chosen at this event were Brandon Adams, Levi Turnage and Terry Aslinger. Sights are set high for a great show next year as the show dates have been set for September 11-12, 2026. We hope to see you there, because it is sure to be a win-win for everyone! n
