POWERED BY the BLUE SHIRTS
Since 1962, the Northwestern Ohio Tractor Pullers Association has built, shaped, and advanced the sport of tractor pulling—growing from a small group of local pullers into the organization behind the National Tractor Pulling Championships.
What began at the Wood County Fairgrounds has evolved into one of the premier motorsports events in the country—driven by innovation, dedication, and a relentless commitment to doing things the right way.
Known as the Blue Shirts, this team continues to set the standard—preserving the sport’s roots while pushing it forward year after year.
Thirteen classes. Thirteen rings. One of the most coveted achievements in pulling.
