4 State Trucks, Home of Chrome Shop Mafia Announces Customer Appreciation Set for Monday, May 7

4 State Trucks and the Chrome Shop Mafia gang are proud to announce their first ever open house and customer appreciation day. A variety of events will be held beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, May 7, 2007 at the Chrome Shop Mafia/4 State Trucks World Headquarters in Joplin, Missouri at Exit 4 off I-44.

“We dedicate this event to the hard working men and women in the trucking industry that make our work at 4 State Trucks and Chrome Shop Mafia possible,” said Bryan “Bossman” Martin.

“We are excited to team up with Castol for this event,” Martin added. “Attendees can meet some of the Chrome Shop crew as well as the entire NHRA racing team of John Force, who is sponsored by Castrol.”

The event will offer plenty for everyone. Vendors will be on hand to discuss their latest products, the folks from SIRIUS satellite radio will be on site, and several hot rod custom trucks will make an appearance. Jambalaya, deep fried pork chops, hot dogs and cold drinks will be available. Spotlights on favorite products and accessories will allow participants to take advantage of discounted rates at the 4 State Trucks facility/showroom.

John Force, the most successful driver in NHRA history, with over 120 racing wins and 14 racing championships, started out long ago as a truck driver. Force, who has two cars sponsored by Castrol, has agreed to bring all of their equipment and travel to 4 State Trucks and set them up for participants to see and experience. Team Force will be on hand to sign autographs.

Castrol will also bring their Midway truck with the highly acclaimed “Castrol Racing Experience” and the newly launched Castrol Tection Extra truck featuring the theme “Your Partner in Business,” offering important information for owner operators and company drivers alike.

Customers will also have a chance to win special prizes and give-a-way items. The Chrome Shop crew will be present all day and 4 State Trucks will remain open until the closing of the event, which will last well into the evening, with Team Force signing autographs until 8 p.m. Attendees will also be treated to a truck light show to wrap up the day’s events.
