The 53rd Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Boise Roadster Show returns to Expo Idaho Friday through Sunday, March 13–15, bringing Idaho’s premier indoor motorsports experience back to all three buildings of the Expo Idaho facility.

Presented by Les Schwab Tire Centers, the show features a stunning lineup of top hot rods, radical customs, wicked street machines, hot trucks, boats, classics, motorcycles, and more — all under one roof.

We are proud to announce that iconic builder and designer Chip Foose will return in person as a special guest at this year’s Roadster Show.

Recognized worldwide for his influence on custom car culture, Chip is the founder of Foose Design and the beloved star of the hit television series Overhaulin’. Over the course of his remarkable career, he has earned countless awards and honors, including being named Master Builder at the 2005 Roadster Show.

That year, Chip and Ken Reister teamed up to create the unforgettable “Impression” 1936 Ford Roadster — a historic build that swept the Ridler Award, America’s Most Beautiful Roadster, Boise’s Goldmark Award, and numerous other top honors.

Chip will host a special meet & greet on Saturday, March 14, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, giving fans the opportunity to meet one of the most influential builders in automotive history.

Every entry that participates in the Boise Roadster Show receives an award, with the top honor known coast-to-coast as The Goldmark — presented to the single entry deemed “Best of the Best.”

Additional awards including Essence of Cool, Trendsetter, Wild One, Fire Rod, Mighty Fine, Tompkins Cup, Jack’s Pick, and more will be presented during the award ceremonies.

A longtime Roadster Show tradition, the New family will also reveal this year’s Master Builder honoree, recognizing an individual whose influence has helped shape and elevate the Roadster Show in Boise year after year.
