CHARLOTTE — More than a hundred trucks took on Interstate 485 to Concord Saturday to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics athletes.
The trucks, joined by law enforcement, traveled 28 miles up and down I-485 to the zMax Dragway at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. There, they gathered for a celebratory lunch.
Each participant, including semi truck drivers, dump truck drivers, and others, raised more than $100 to join the convoy.
The convoy began at 10:15 a.m. and concluded with a lunch from Bonefish Grill after the trek up and down the interstate.
