Guilty By Association Truck Show
September 21, 2023 to September 23, 2023
The Guilty By Association Truck Show (“GBATS”) is a biannual truck show held by Chrome Shop Mafia & 4 State Trucks in conjunction with the Joplin 44 Petro and sponsored by OOIDA. It’s a time where the trucking industry and community comes together to enjoy all aspects of trucking and the super cool things that come with it.
A free show to the public, GBATS is jam-packed with awesome food trucks, dozens of vendors, and tons of action! From the Truck and Tractor Pull, to Monster Trucks and Demolition Derbies; GBATS 2023 will be a show for the record books and one you DON’T want to miss!
Saturday’s schedule includes a Kids Pedal Tractor Pull, Monster Trucks, Celebrity Meet and Greet, a Fireworks Show and the World’s Largest Convoy Auction to raise money for Special Olympics of SWMO. The convoy route will direct HUNDREDS of these shiny show trucks through Joplin and conclude at the Street Party in Mercy Park (26th & Maiden Lane). Join us there for a free concert featuring the Roots & Boots Tour! Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw, and Collin Raye will be performing live on-stage in the middle of Maiden Lane!
All you have to do is show up and enjoy a low-stress weekend. You don’t have to worry about how sharp your rig is, how much money you’ve invested in it, or how it will be judged – because it won’t be! Wash it. Shammy it. Park it. And have a great time! There’s no cost to enter, but here’s a little tip: Get here on Wednesday if you can, get registered, and get parked so you’re ready to enjoy all GBATS has to offer come SHOWTIME!
