TRC allows students to showcase their STEM capabilities by taking on a formidable mechanics project, which would be daunting for many. "I am inspired by students' response when faced with a complex challenge," said Jason Gerig, America's Commercial Sector Manager, Chevron Lubricants. "To rebuild these tractors, our finalists must become mechanics, historians, marketing professionals, finance managers, leaders, motivators, teammates, counselors, time management experts, auditors, and more. Some look at the output of this competition as a restored tractor, but we view it as an empowered, confident teen, practiced in life skills that will benefit them for years to come. We are very proud to have supported this program for so long. Congratulations to Annika and all our finalists."

Annika Ernstrom earned the 2021 Delo Tractor Restoration Grand Champion title for her restoration of a 1948 Allis Chalmers WC tractor. She is the second individual female to ever win this competition.

Annika was awarded $10,000 as the Delo Tractor Restoration Competition Grand Champion. The Reserve Champion title and an award of $5,000 went to Shane Brennan of Templeton, CA of Templeton High School for his restoration of a 1951 Farmall Super AV.
