Rough truck held

| July 22, 2013

COSHOCTON – The annual rough truck contest, sponsored by the Three Rivers Fire District and the Coshocton County Agricultural Society was held July 20 at the fairgrounds.

While the threat of rain reduced the number of overall drivers for the contest, the quality of vehicles, crowd enthusiasm and thrills remained including one Chevrolet truck that refused to quit despite attempting to run the gauntlet of speed bumps, hills, turns and jumps with one tire splayed out like an athlete with a broken limb.

Adam Blankenhorn from Mount Vernon won the event and also eked out a victory with the longest jump at the contest, giving him a clean sweep for the evening. Jason Daniels of Lima took second place and also drove the farthest for the event. Travis Stevens was third.
