$68,000 Purse and Prize
Saturday July 14th, 2007 3:00 and 7:00 P.M.
America’s Pull at the Marshall Putnam Fair Grounds in Henry, Illinois will host the National Tractor Pullers Association Grand National Tour, July 14th, 2007. This is the second year the NTPA will showcase their Grand National Tour pulling units at the two session Henry, Illinois based pull.
In its ninth year as a national event, America’s Pull offers one of the highest one day purse payouts in all of North America. Each class will receive a raised purse payout above the standards set by the NTPA ensuring that best competitors will target this premier pulling event.
America’s Pull not only offers $68,000 in purse and prize money, but it also awards the NTPA World Cup to the winner of each class. The 30 inch tall engraved lead crystal trophy is revered by pullers who have won it and those that wish to have it.
This national event is conducted on two parallel clay tracks specifically designed for pulling. Over 1,000,000 pounds of clay was transported to the stadium complex in 2001 to establish two of the toughest and consistent pulling tracks in the country.
Stadium seating along both sides and entire length of the two pulling surfaces gives the pulling fans excellent visibility of the entire track. Interconnected concrete safety barriers line both sides of the track.
The 3:00 P.M. session features Mini Rods, Modified 4WD Trucks, Super Farm Tractors and Modified 2WD Trucks. Four classes will be showcased in session two starting at 7:00 P.M. Heavy Diesel Super Stock , Light Weight Super Stock, Pro Stock Tractors and the radical, earth trembling Unlimited Modified Tractors will finish out the program.
The Marshall Putnam Fair has free parking and no main gate fee. Camp sites with electricity and water service are available on the grounds by reservation.
6,000 non-reserved $25 general admission tickets allow pulling fans all day access to the entire fair grounds, both sessions of pulling and the infield pit area. Reserved box seating is available on a limited basis by contacting the fair office at 309-364-2814. For more information please go to:
