The famous blue turf at Albertsons Stadium looked a little different this year.

For one unforgettable weekend, Boise State University’s iconic field was transformed into an outdoor monster truck arena as Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live™ rolled into town. More than 30,000 fans attended the event, and Kendall Auto was proud to help bring the excitement to the Treasure Valley.

One of the weekend’s most memorable moments came when Boise State star Ashton Jeanty made a special appearance and drove “Smashton” onto the field. Fans were also treated to an incredible backflip during the finale, providing a spectacular ending to an action-packed performance.

The excitement extended far beyond the stadium. Throughout the week, Kendall GMC of Nampa hosted our local Idaho team Mike and Mason Menter alongside the fan-favorite Tiger Shark monster truck. Families from across the Treasure Valley stopped by to meet the team, take photos, and experience one of these incredible machines up close.

Kendall was especially honored to help create unforgettable experiences for local children. Kids from area daycares and the Boise Rescue Mission were invited to BSU, where they had the opportunity to meet Mike and Mason, learn more about the trucks, and see just how massive these machines are before cheering Tiger Shark on from the stands.

With three different displays throughout the event weekend, Kendall team members enjoyed connecting with thousands of attendees and sharing in the excitement that Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live brought to Boise. Seeing the iconic blue turf transformed into a dirt-covered monster truck track was a sight fans won’t soon forget.

At Kendall Auto, we believe giving back is about more than sponsorships, it’s about creating memories, strengthening community connections, and bringing smiles to families across the Treasure Valley.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event such a tremendous success. We can’t wait to do it again!

Kendall Auto Group was proud to sponsor the 29th Annual Wild West Auction benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County, and what an unforgettable evening it was!

From the amazing community support and exciting auction moments to the laughter, connection, and generosity throughout the night, this event was a powerful reminder of what happens when our community comes together for a greater purpose.

Most importantly, every dollar raised helps empower local youth to reach their full potential as caring, responsible, and productive citizens. The impact of this event will continue far beyond one evening, helping provide opportunities, mentorship, and support for kids right here in Ada County.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this incredible cause. We’re honored to stand alongside organizations and community members who are committed to making a difference for the next generation.

Already looking forward to next year’s Wild West Auction! 🐎✨

Kendall Auto Group was proud to be part of another unforgettable Truck Nationals at Firebird Raceway, and what a celebration of horsepower, craftsmanship, and Idaho truck culture it turned out to be! 🔥🚘

From the roaring Gold Cup racing action to the impressive lineup of Pro Trucks, Street Trucks, and classic C-10 builds, the energy at the track was nonstop all day long. Fans packed the stands, racers brought their best, and the truck community showed up in a huge way.

A huge thank you to everyone who raced, showed their trucks, cheered from the sidelines, and helped make this event such a success. Events like Truck Nationals remind us why we love being part of this community, bringing together passionate people who live and breathe trucks.

We also want to thank Firebird Raceway, Boise Muffler Gold Cup Series, NAPA Auto Parts, Neil’s Rod & Custom, and all the event partners and participants who helped make the day possible.

At Kendall, trucks are more than transportation, they’re part of the Idaho lifestyle, and we’re honored to support events that celebrate that passion.

Until next year… keep the horsepower rolling! 💥

Kendall Auto Group was proud to sponsor the Idaho CDL Training Spring High School, Alumni & Street Legal Series at Firebird Raceway on April 25, 2026.

What we saw wasn’t just a race; it was a starting line for the next generation. From high school racers to alumni and junior classes, the track was filled with passion, learning, and community. For many students, this was more than a day at the track, it was a chance to build confidence, gain hands-on experience, and explore a future in the automotive world. Because today’s “motor heads” are tomorrow’s technicians, innovators, and leaders.

At Kendall, we believe in supporting opportunities that give young people a place to grow, especially when it’s fueled by something they love.

Magical Moments was exactly that, an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration, connection, and a shared commitment to supporting local youth through mentorship.

We’re excited to share that they not only hosted a meaningful event, but also reached their fundraising goal. Watching this organization continue to grow and expand its reach is truly powerful, and it’s clear that when caring adults show up consistently, young people thrive.

One of the most exciting outcomes is the addition of their new mentoring machine, which will help extend their impact even further across Idaho.

At Kendall Auto Idaho, supporting local students and investing in the future of our community is something we care deeply about.

Three years ago, we partnered with the West Ada School District to launch the West Ada Car Raffle with a simple goal, to make a meaningful impact on athletics and activities for local students. That first year, we raffled off one vehicle and raised an incredible $250,000. Today, we’re proud to share just how far this initiative has come.

After all three raffles this school year, together we have raised an amazing $1,192,000 in support of West Ada athletics and activities.

This kind of impact doesn’t happen without a strong, supportive community. Every ticket purchased, every share, and every conversation has helped create more opportunities for students to grow, compete, and succeed, both on and off the field.

We believe that when students are supported, entire communities thrive. Whether it’s through sports, clubs, or other activities, these experiences help shape confidence, leadership, and lifelong skills. To our community, thank you. Your continued support makes all the difference, and we’re honored to be part of something that is helping students reach their full potential.

Here’s to continuing to show up for the next generation.

At Kendall Auto Idaho, our commitment to community goes far beyond the vehicles we sell, it’s rooted in the people, history, and values that make Idaho such a special place to live and work.

That’s why we are incredibly proud to support the Warhawk Air Museum, an organization that does so much more than preserve history. The museum serves as a powerful connection between past and present, honoring the stories of our nation’s veterans while actively supporting them today.

Throughout the year, Kendall Auto Idaho is honored to stand alongside the Warhawk Air Museum as a sponsor of several meaningful events. From the Memorial Day Flyover that pays tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, to the Warbird Roundup that brings history to life, and Rosie the Riveter Day celebrating the strength and contributions of women in wartime, each event represents something bigger than all of us.

In addition to these events, we are proud to serve as both a plane and auto sponsor, helping ensure that the museum can continue its mission of education, preservation, and veteran support.

What makes this partnership so meaningful is not just the history housed within the museum walls, but the impact it has on the lives of veterans in our community. The Warhawk Air Museum creates a space where stories are shared, connections are made, and service is honored in a deeply personal way.

Watching the museum grow and expand its reach has been incredibly inspiring. It’s a reflection of what happens when a community comes together to support something truly important.

We are grateful to play a small part in that mission and proud to stand with an organization that continues to make such a lasting difference.

Thank you to our customers and community for allowing us to support causes that matter. Together, we can continue to honor the past while making a meaningful impact today.

Kendall Auto Idaho was proud to once again stand as the Title Sponsor of the Support Our Patriots Gala and what an incredible evening it was.

The night brought our community together in a powerful way to honor service, share stories, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of Idaho’s Veterans. From heartfelt moments to inspiring conversations, it was a true reminder of what can happen when a community rallies around a shared purpose.

What made the evening especially impactful was the opportunity to support and spotlight the organizations doing life-changing work for Veterans every day:

• Wyakin Foundation – Empowering Veterans through education, mentorship, and career placement
• Backcountry Veterans – Providing therapeutic outdoor experiences that foster healing and connection
• PGA HOPE – Enhancing Veterans’ well-being through the game of golf at no cost
• Vet Sheds of Idaho – Teaching craftsmanship to promote independence and quality of life

These organizations are making a real, lasting impact, and it was an honor to help support their missions.

At Kendall Auto Idaho, supporting Veterans isn’t just something we do, it’s something we believe in. Being part of an evening like this reinforces our commitment to standing alongside those who have served and the nonprofits who continue to serve them.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up with generosity, gratitude, and heart.

Last Saturday morning, the field at Boise State University was filled with energy, teamwork, and opportunity as more than 90 girls participated in the All-Girls Flag Football Clinic hosted by Optimist Youth Football. Kendall was proud to sponsor this powerful event focused on growing the game and empowering young female athletes.

The clinic brought together every key component needed to build a strong program. Sixteen current and new girls flag coaches were in attendance, along with 19 high school athletes training to become Junior Referees. Gary and eight district referees also supported the event, helping train and mentor the next generation of officials. It wasn’t just a clinic; it was the foundation of something bigger.

To close out the morning, the girls were divided into 12 teams, paired with coaches, and given the chance to scrimmage one another, with Junior Referees officiating the games. The atmosphere was high-energy, competitive, and encouraging, exactly what youth sports should be.

The celebration continued with prize drawings, including Scheels gift cards, Dutch Bros coffee cards, two autographed Seattle Seahawks mini helmets, and a laser-autographed Seahawks Anniversary football. The top awards were presented to athletes who demonstrated leadership, sportsmanship, skill, and care for their teammates, the core values of the Optimist Youth Football program and the same values Kendall looks for in community partnerships.

The clinic also received tremendous media coverage from all three local TV stations, helping spotlight the growth of girls flag football in our community.

We are incredibly proud to support programs that create opportunity, build confidence, and develop future leaders. Seeing more than 90 girls take the field at Boise State is proof that when a community comes together, great things happen.
