Truck racing is a very special community that stems across multiple other automotive sectors by carrying out drag races, off-road competitions, and truck pulls.

Often a someone or a group of people will find a stock vehicle and step-by-step modify it to racing standards, or if they’re feeling extremely competitive, they’ll purchase a chassis and then add the engine and racing body.
