We would like to thank everyone for the continued support the last few weeks and years.

Yes, the past few days have been a little unsettling, but after weeks of speculation, the Pro Pulling League is proud to announce the continuation of exciting pulling events under new ownership and partners for 2023 and beyond. We will have a transition period for the upcoming days, maybe weeks to transfer ownership. We can't thank the Lucas Family enough for their consideration.

We have asked for patience as pulling is a top priority for everyone involved.

We take great pride in the relationships we have built with promoters, competitors and fans over the years. The promoters and pullers that have been a part of Pro Pulling League for the past 17 years are considered family. We will offer them the same level of professionalism and high-quality shows that they have been accustomed to in previous years.

There’s a picture of a guy floating around on Facebook that supposedly bought it but I have no idea who it is

While this is great news for pullers and fans there are still alot of loose ends to tie up. What will the organization look like, will they still have state level clubs, will the CT as have many of their previous events? Will they only run 2 day events, a possible shakeup of classes offered? It will be interesting to say the least.

Great news for fans is an overstatement Dick. National pulling has been diluted for far too long. A national points title means very little when you have a handful of tractors run the entire circuit. Outlaws in the West and NTPA in the East is plenty of opportunity to pull on a "national" circuit. IF PPL goes away, no loss for me!

Excellent point. Much to early to tell what will happen to state level. Many questions to be answered

For myself, I (and I would think everyone else) fully expected Kristi and Jonathan to keep it going in some form and fashion. The question surrounds what Dick stated above about state level stuff, classes, money, etc, etc. One thing for sure it will be hard to find another sponsor with as deep a pockets that lucas had and was willing to spend. I mean, let's be honest here, everyone knew Forrest Lucas was doing this to sell oil. And as long as he saw a return on his investment, he kept pouring money into the organization. So without that level of money coming in, the future could look quite different as far as how the organization will be structured. Time will tell. I wish them luck.

Losing 6 of their Mods in the last 2 years isn't going to help them. Also maybe the best business model isn't just having a business man that needs a tax write-off owning your organization. Kind of a hard business to sell someone I would think. Not that long ago on here they were the best thing since sliced bread. Forward thinking, cutting edge, blah blah blah. Now nothing but mush from all you folks boasting about them all the time. Maybe all prognostications of them supplanting NTPA were a little premature?!

Wait, I thought this organization was taking pulling to "the next level."

You don't think PPL made pulling and ntpa better?

The company is being ran by new people. Maybe they don't want to support motorsports as much as Forest did.

Mod class is a hard class fr people to get into. Most mod pullers have been doing it for years.

While I can't comment about other state members, I know the Badger State Tractor Pullers is staying on board.

I would also give that true statement a thumbs down you could call it a prophecy that is on its way to become a fact the 1500 acre battery factory ford is building is not being built for nothing that electric motor may require a couple ounces of lucas products

Ryan so you must know more info. Rumor I heard was just champions tour. Will they still provide insurance for state associations? So much speculation. So little knowledge it seems.

Its not really a surprise. If anyone watched the Badger State show Monday evening Greg touched on it a bit without giving any details away. Love or hate Jason for what he does he usually has info before anyone else and shares what he can. John was at the Badger State banquet.

My takeaway from Gregs comments, was about the insurance and passing on cost increases (if any}, to the promoter/Fair Boards.

IHfan-- you said it best "Rumor". Having been in attendance at our rules meeting and banquet last weekend, our President Greg Elsing announced BSTP is staying with PPL, and I would suspect all current member states will stay on board, but that is just speculation. John also said that insurance is just about finalized and will be basically the same coverage. You can continue to live in your rumor mill and I will carry on with reality.

Greg also said on the show that John asked what classes they wanted from him for Mackville this year.
