"We could think of no better way to continue the celebration of Sherwin-Williams' 150th anniversary of service than to give away such an amazing truck."
The high-performance engine and customization is signed by racing legend Jack Roush, also head of ROUSH Industries, Inc., a Tier One supplier of fully integrated engineering and development support services to the worldwide automotive industry.
