Columbus, Ohio—The hook is in. The green flag is out. And the NTPA’s 54th championship season is on!
The National Tractor Pullers Association and the Darke County Fair will join forces to present the Great Darke County Fair Pull on Tuesday, August 20 at the fairgrounds in Greenville, Ohio. The event will be conducted in one session starting at 7 p.m.
In truck and tractor pulling, specialized vehicles of a similar build take turns dragging a weight transfer sled along a straight dirt course as the sled’s resistance increases. The winner is the driver whose vehicle moves the sled the greatest distance. In NTPA Championship Pulling, competitors travel across the nation to perform at the motorsport’s most prestigious venues and in front of the world’s most passionate fans for purse money and season championships.
Six Regional National divisions will compete at the Great Darke County Fair Pull: 5.0 Pro Stock, Light Pro Stock, and Hot Farm Tractors; Two-Wheel-Drive and Pro Stock Diesel 4×4 3.0 Trucks; and multi-engine Modifieds.
Competitors will pull for the posted Regional National event purse for each division. RN-registered vehicles will earn points toward their divisions’ respective Region II championships (Light Pros: Region II West; Two Wheel Drives and Modifieds: Region II Southeast; 3.0s: Region II East). Moreover, competitors in Light Pro, Hot Farm, Two Wheel Drive, 3.0, and Modified will vie for berths in the 37th annual Enderle Pull-Off scheduled for Saturday, September 14 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio.
