Traditional Rods & Customs at the Triple Crown of Rodding
The Triple Crown of Rodding is only in its second year of existence, but it's proving to be the world's premier show for hot rods, customs and classic trucks. This event takes place at the Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee, and it always happens the weekend after Labor Day. The Triple Crown of Rodding is a continuation of efforts, born from the Shades of the Past show in Pigeon Forge, which ended in 2022. Show organizers, Bobby Alloway and Gary Case assembled an outstanding group of vendors, builders and of course, show cars to kick off the inaugural event in 2023, and they went above and beyond again this year. More than 150 vendors filled the infield of the speedway, and more than 2,000 cars and trucks rolled in throughout the two day event. The judging area of the show featured hundreds of high-end hot rods and customs, and there were plenty of great cars in the rest of the show field as well. Take a look at some of our favorite Coker-equipped vehicles from the 2nd Annual Triple Crown of Rodding and be sure to mark this one down on your calendar for 2025.
