"It's the biggest one we've done, but we're all very excited," said Jasmine Dunston, Festival coordinator.
Dunston noted the scale of the growing gathering with a lighthearted comment. "You could call it a 'monster Truck'," said Dunston.
Addressing the high summer temperatures, event management prioritized hydration and protection protocols across the venue grounds.
"We're encouraging people to drink water, seek shade when you can and look after your fellow truckers," said Dunston.
Organizers ensured skin protection resources were available throughout the site for attendees.
"Most importantly, make sure you wear sunblock - we've got a little bit of after sun if needed," said Dunston.
Event leadership confirmed that public safety measures were fully implemented prior to opening the gates to the record crowds.
