"text": "Ugly Truck Contest Day, known just as often as Ugly Truck Day, celebrates ugly trucks. A truck might have been ugly when it was brand new, or maybe a funky paint job, other exterior modification, or the passage of time made it into an ugly truck. Regardless of how it became ugly and what makes it ugly, it is celebrated today. The name of the day often has \"contest\" in it because many contests are held to see who has the ugliest truck. Newspapers and drive-in restaurants have hosted ugly truck contests on the day. Sonic Drive-in has held contests where they've given discounts on food for those with ugly trucks, and have given prizes to those with the ugliest trucks.",
