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 Meade County Fair of Brandenburg, Kentucky will join forces to present the Meade County Fair NTPA Grand Nationals on Friday and Saturday, July 26-27 at the fairgrounds in Brandenburg. The Grand National event will be conducted in two sessions with each starting at 7 p.m.
Update: Lineups of intended Brandenburg competitors.
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.
Four Grand National divisions will compete on each night of the Meade County Fair Grand Nationals: Light Super Stock, Hi Torque Super Farm, and Yoder Popcorn Pro Stock Tractors and CM Pulling Tires Two-Wheel-Drive Trucks.
Competitors will pull for the posted Grand National event purse for each division. GN-registered vehicles will earn points toward their divisions’ respective championships and berths in the 37th annual Enderle Pull-Off scheduled for Saturday, September 14 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio.
Online event entry (including the completion of driver full-year or provisional licensure and vehicle full-year or provisional registration) is required for entrants into all GN classes at this event. Instructions for online entry into this and all NTPA GN classes in 2024 may be found on the front page of NTPAPULL.com.
