Doctor Preload Becomes GN SEMI Class Sponsor for 2023
Columbus, Ohio---The National Tractor Pullers Association and Doctor Preload have secured a sponsorship agreement for 2023. This new partnership is a class sponsorship in which all Grand National Semi Truck appearances will be called the “Doctor Preload Semi Truck Class” for the 2023 pulling season. This $10,000 sponsorship will be added to the year-end points fund.
Doctor Preload will also sponsor three additional events in Ohio and Pennsylvania as their commitment, to the Semi Truck class goes further than the Grand National season.
To be eligible for a payout, a vehicle must be registered for the 2023 Grand National Series and prominently bear Doctor Preload decals on both sides of the vehicle. Each pulling team will also display a Doctor Preload Banner in their pit area.
