Sponsorship Opportunities

Introduction

World Pulling International's national truck and tractor pulling circuit is recognized as one of the best national pulling programs in the world. And once you observe our series, it's easy to see why. World Pulling's National Tractor Pullers Association sanctions over 250 events each year, from major pulls like Tomah, Wisconsin and Bowling Green, Ohio, to those in dozens of small rural communities around the country. High horsepower modified pulling tractors incorporate multiple supercharged engines into one torque-generating machine, which throws down over 6000 horsepower against a weight-bearing "sled." the further the tractor pulls, the more weight the sled distributes, so that traction and throttle must make the perfect combination. A virtually perfect pull culminates with the victory cry "Full Pull!"

Tractor pulling has been delivering its own unique form of entertainment for almost 70 years. We know how to provide a fair yet competitive environment for our drivers, and we also know how to deliver exciting racing and entertainment for our fans.

In 2008, the NTPA will host 22 major events on its premier Grand National tour, with some 50 top regional events supporting the Grand Nationals. From there, the NTPA reaches to all corners of rural America through our Member State Associations, in small cities and towns where NTPA pulling is the top entertainment event of the season with a total of more than 250 events each season. With our key sites come all the amenities needed for consumer promotions and business-to-business hospitality.

And, you will gain the buying power of the NTPA fan base - 1.4 million strong each season, and very loyal to sponsors that support the NTPA.

Our operations and promotions personnel are ready to turn-key your sponsorship, so that maximum value is achieved - without draining your in-house resources. At World Pulling International, we want to work to earn your business.
