Casino Truck Show draws record crowd

The annual North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show reached unprecedented heights of success this year, drawing a record crowd and showcasing an impressive array of trucks and entertainment which left attendees in awe.

Known as one of the greatest truck shows in the southern hemisphere, the event, held in the Casino CBD on Saturday 3 August, saw residents join tens of thousands of visitors from across the globe, highlighting the community’s passion for trucks and automotive excellence.

The 2024 Casino Truck Show saw a significant increase in attendance, with more than 30,000 attendees, surpassing previous records and establishing the event as a must-visit for truck enthusiasts and families alike. It generated an estimated $3.9 million, giving a much-needed boost to local businesses.

Organising Committee Coordinator Darren Goodwin said this year’s NCP Casino Truck Show was now cemented as one of the most important in Australia, bringing millions of dollars for local businesses with accommodation, hospitality and food businesses reporting extraordinary demand.

Mr Goodwin said the organising team, made up of Richmond Valley Council staff and industry volunteers, was thrilled with the overwhelming success of this year’s show.

He said feedback from sponsors, participants and attendees was unbelievably positive, with almost all saying they would be back next year.

“The enthusiasm and support from the community and the trucking industry have been incredible, and we are already looking forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better,” Mr Goodwin said.

“Planning is already underway for next year’s event, and we thank everyone who attended and supported this amazing event.”

Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow said the NCP Casino Truck Show was an unforgettable celebration of community spirit and trucking life passion.

Cr Mustow said with this year’s record crowd, the Casino Truck Show stood out as one of the biggest single-day events in regional NSW.

He said the Casino Truck Show continued to grow year after year, strengthening its place as a cornerstone event in the local community calendar.

“The Casino Truck Show is so popular because it offers something for everyone,” Cr Mustow said.

“This year’s event featured a diverse range of trucks, from vintage classics to high-tech models, live music performances, food stalls, industry exhibitors and activities for children - the family-friendly environment ensured residents and visitors of all ages had a memorable experience.”

Congratulations to all winners and participants at this year's show, in particular Andrew Salter of A&J Salter Oversize Transport & Pilot Service for their win of the Tiny Lollback Rig of the Show with their Kenworth K200.

For all good people that have been concerned about Yogi after his bull ride, the ice bath is doing wonders!

Thanks to J and J Rodeo for a great night and the opportunity to scratch an itch, but I don’t think he will be back anytime soon. This is his official retirement post from bull riding.

Also thanks Casino Truck Show for another wonderful year. Super stoked that our Truckin' Life first issue cover 1 took out the prestigious truck of the show award! Congrats A & J Salter Pty Ltd - Oversize Transport & Pilot Service.
