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.
The Budweiser Dairyland NTPA Super Nationals event is part of the NTPA’s Grand National series presented by Case IH. Tomah participants will come from one of 11 GN divisions—Light Super Stock, Newfields Ag Super Stock Diesel, Super Stock Open, and Yoder Popcorn Pro Stock Tractors; CM Pulling Tires Two-Wheel-Drive, Four-Wheel-Drive, Super Stock Diesel 4×4, and Doctor Preload Super Semi Trucks; and Mini, GMS Manufacturing & Machine Light, Multi-Engine, and Unlimited Modifieds—or three RN divisions—Super Farm, Light Pro Stock, and 4.1 Pro Stock Tractors. All will compete for championships and berths in the 37th Enderle Memorial Pull-Off on Saturday, September 14 in Urbana, Ohio.
The Super Stock Diesel division will additionally pull to win the inaugural Schreier Memorial Cup, which along with $5,000 will be awarded to the competitor whose vehicle achieves the greatest average finish across its two appearances. Brothers Dave and Dick Schreier were instrumental in the formation and expansion of the Budweiser Dairyland Super Nationals and passed away within weeks of each other in late 2023.
