LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 22, 2012) – For decades, the Mid-America Trucking Show has been the ideal tradeshow to gain vision, insight and understanding into the trucking industry. MATS is the largest annual show providing all things for the heavy-duty trucking industry, encompassing one-on-one interaction between business representatives and trucking specialists.

This year, John Force will attend the MATS on behalf of John Force Racing and Freightliner, one of the largest commercial on-highway and professional truck manufacturers in the world. The former truck driver turned 15-time Funny Car champion will be signing autographs at the Freightliner booth from 12pm-2pm on Friday, March 23, 2012 at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

“I can’t wait to get to the Mid-America Trucking Show and meet all these truck drivers. This is a great opportunity to promote NHRA and Freightliner one of our newest sponsors,” said John Force. “I remember driving my trucks and trailers all across the country and I wish they were as comfortable as the new Cascadia trucks we will be getting in a couple weeks. This is going to be a good time and then I am heading back to California to work for Auto Club at the Auto Club 400.”

Those in attendance of the show can explore the newest products and services in the trucking industry to provide their business with what it takes to be competitive, while networking with Fortune 500 companies. Exhibitors take part in MATS to introduce new products, increase brand awareness and connect with other companies to create mutually beneficial relationships.

The show runs from Thursday-Saturday, March 22-24, 2012 in Louisville, Ky.
