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, the United Pullers of the Carolinas, and the Robeson County Fair will join forces to present the Robeson County 300 Truck and Tractor Pull on Friday and Saturday, September 6-7 at the fairgrounds in Lumberton, North Carolina. The event will be conducted in two sessions, both 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.
Four Regional National divisions will compete at the Robeson County 300: Super Farm and Light Pro Stock Tractors, Two-Wheel-Drive Trucks, and Modified Minis.
National competitors will pull for the posted Regional National event purse for each division. RN-registered vehicles will earn points toward their divisions’ respective ProPuller Tires Region IV championships. Moreover, competitors in all divisions will vie for berths in the 37th annual Enderle Pull-Off scheduled for Saturday, September 14 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio.
The United Pullers of the Carolinas, an NTPA member state organization, will additionally present classes of Heavy Super Stock and Pro Farm Tractors and Light Four-Wheel-Drive Trucks.
