A NOTE FROM THE NATIONAL TRACTOR PULLING CHAMPIONSHIP REGARDING OUR CURRENT SITUATION
The State of Ohio has initiated a “Shelter in Place” law effective Monday, March 23, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.
The office of the NTPC will be closed for 2 weeks. Our goal is to reopen on Tuesday, April 7, 2020.
Online sales will be available during this period and emails and phone messages will be checked daily.
At this point, we are moving forward with our goal of hosting the world’s largest truck and tractor pull in August. The most important thing for us now, is that all of you and your families remain safe and healthy, so we can celebrate together at the 54th National Tractor Pulling Championships.
In the case that our event does not take place, please know that any purchases you have made for 2020 will be rolled over to the 2021 event.
Thank you all,

History
The NTPC is promoted by the Northwestern Ohio Tractor Pullers Association (NWOTPA), the veritable backbone of the championships. The NWOTPA was chartered as the Wood County Tractor Pullers in the spring of 1962. There were approximately 20 members, all residents of Wood County, Ohio. In August of 1962 the first speed pull was introduced at the Wood County Fairgrounds. A special long flat bottom sled was built that was designed for men to step on as it went by. Men were lined up on both sides of the track and stepped on the sled as it went by. The tractor that pulled the farthest was declared the winner. Many problems occurred with this type of pulling, specifically men leaving the track during the event and the tractors going too fast for men to step on.
