25 Championship Divisions Invited to 37th Enderle
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 Enderle Fuel Injection will join forces to present the 37th Kent & Joan Enderle Memorial Pull-Off on Saturday, September 14 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio. The invitational event will begin with the Regional National qualifiers at 5 p.m. and conclude with the Grand National qualifiers at approximately 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.
The Enderle Pull-Off is part of the NTPA's Grand National series presented by Case IH Agriculture. All participants have been invited to participate based on their performance over the course of the 2024 regular season and, in some cases, portions of the 2023 campaign.
Twelve Regional National divisions will appear at the 37th Enderle: Light Limited Super Stock, Classic Super Stock, Super Farm, Light Pro Stock, 4.1 Pro Stock, and Hot Farm Tractors; Two-Wheel-Drive, Four-Wheel-Drive, Super Stock Four-Wheel-Drive, and Pro Stock Diesel 4x4 3.0 Trucks; and Mini and multi-engine Modifieds. Qualifiers will arrive as champions and top point-earners from the NTPA's Region II, TerraMax Region III, ProPuller Tires Region IV, and Region VI.
After a brief awards ceremony and intermission, the competition will continue with 13 Grand National divisions: Light Super Stock, NewFields Ag Super Stock Diesel, Super Stock Open, Hi Torque Super Farm, and Yoder Popcorn Pro Stock Tractors; CM Pulling Tires Two-Wheel-Drive, Four-Wheel-Drive, Super Stock Diesel 4x4, and Doctor Preload Super Semi Trucks; and Mini, GMS Manufacturing & Machine Light, Multi-Engine, and Unlimited Modifieds.
The main grounds will open to the public at 2 p.m., and access to the pit, exhibit, and concession areas is included with admission. Stop by and greet your favorite drivers and take photos of their awesome vehicles! Prior to the main event, a Kids’ Pedal Pull will be held at 4 p.m. in front of the 4-H Activities Building. Registration begins at 3:30 p.m.
Fans will be kept informed and entertained by the NTPA's Mobile Videoboard, which will present multi-camera live video, replays, driver and vehicle identifications, and distances.
