Carlisle, PA – Trucks of all shapes, sizes, styles and eras converge on the Carlisle, PA Fairgrounds from August 3-5 as part of the Carlisle Truck Nationals, presented in 2018 by A&A Auto Stores. The three-day celebration of all things truck brings families and guests of all ages to Carlisle in ways unmatched by any other event on the Carlisle season schedule. Trucks and truck lovers converge on Carlisle to celebrate the lifestyle, compete in truck themed competitions, socialize, congregate, restore, rebuild and enhance their trucks.

There are big names on board for 2018 as well. A new neighbor in Carlisle, A&A Auto Stores officially presents the event for the first time. Extang will be joining them as the official Tonneau cover of Carlisle Truck Nationals and our summer events. In addition, monster trucks will destroy everything in front of them this summer, as Samson and Bad News make their mark on the Carlisle Fairgrounds. There’s a new crop of stunt jumpers planned for free style moto-cross action along with an all-new to the truck show, Timberworks Lumberjack show, spotlighting some of the top timber sports athletes and competitions in the world.

Along with the thrills that compliment activities for spectators, participants have fun with competitions such as burnouts, low truck limbo, high truck, drop and drag and so much more. The stage will play host to live music and the kids come to Carlisle in droves not only for the monster truck and FMX fun, but to play in the Phantom Fun Zone, and get in on a little car crushing action with monster truck rides on the Virginia Giant ride truck.
