McDonough, GA (November 12, 2025) - The 2025 Bennett Stars, Stripes and White Lines (SSWL) National Championship returned to EchoPark Speedway with full throttle, raising funds for Wreaths Across America and honoring the nation's heroes. Hosted by the Bennett Family of Companies, the event combined high-octane competition, live entertainment, and the rewarding spirit of giving back.
Over the course of the weekend-long event, talented competitors across four categories vied for top honors. Both limited and working class big rigs went head to head to secure the most coveted title of National Champion in working botail, working combo, limited bobtail and limited combo. These trucks and drivers were invited to compete based on their performance at truck shows across the nation taking place earlier in the year with winners securing their spot to compete in the 2026 National Championship.
Jeep and motorcycle enthusiasts competed in their own categories including Best in Stock, Custom, Old-School, Bagger and Sound divisions. An Open Class winner was crowned with the Best Overall, rounding out the full spectrum of machines and builds.
The raw horsepower and chrome wasn't all that defined SSWL 2025. Proceeds from the event directly benefit Wreaths Across America, an initiative that lays a Christmas wreath on every fallen soldiers grave on December 13th, 2025.
Vendors and food trucks stayed busy with thousands of on-site attendees while live performances by country and rock n' roll bands took place including Long Haul Paul, Psycho Devilles, Mark Ware and Tony Justice. A live auction allowed further fundraising and the awards ceremony immediately following honored winners while reminding everyone about the true meaning of the event.
A huge highlighting moment came during the 3rd annual golf ball drop with 499 golf balls numbered and dropped from a Huey helicopter toward a painted target. In a powerful display of generosity, each winner donated their cash prizes from $10,000 to $1,000 back to Wreaths Across America, amplifying the impact of the event's mission.
"It's truly amazing to see everyone come out to support such an important mission of remembering the fallen, honoring those who serve and teaching the next generation about the sacrifice of freedom. I'm honored to have seen the event more than double in size since last year and I can't wait to see what Stars, Stripes and White Lines 2026 brings.
