Steve Bunnage, Aaron Hull, Tim Stone, Keith Long, Jim Bosch, and Blaine Fraker capture Pro Pulling Wins in front of a packed house at Lucas Oil Speedway!Wheatland, Missouri – September 9th, 2013 – On a sweltering early September evening, nearly 90 of the best truck and tractor pullers in the nation descended upon Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri for their only appearance of 2013. A packed grandstand and the cameras of Lucas Oil Production Studios witnessed non-stop action in all six classes in one of the most exciting pulling events to ever take place at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks.” “This event gets bigger and better every year.” exclaimed Track General Manager Dan Robinson. “When you bring the best pullers in the nation to town, the show is always fantastic and tonight didn’t disappoint.”
Steve Bunnage led the way in the E3 Spark Plugs Super Modified Tractor class in his beautiful multi-engined hemi powered machine aptly named “Takes a Lickin” as he scored a narrow win over Bill Leischner in the “Speedco DirtSlinger”. Darrack Barga also slipped past the 300′ mark to take the third spot with North Collins, New York driver Joe Eder settling for fourth at the finish in the “Geico 75th Edition”. North Carolina’s Stan Shelton rounded out the top-5 in his beautiful “Shel-Shocked” machine.
Dorr, Michigan’s Aaron Hull driving the “Taking Care of Business” John Deere took the win in the iON Camera Unlimited Super Stock Class while Tim Stone in the “Rolling Stone” John Deere captured 1st place in the Protect the Harvest Pro Stock Tractors in a pull-off over Adairville, Kentucky’s Brad Moss. Fellow Kentuckian, Keith Long narrowly won the Optima Batteries Super Modified 2WD Truck class as his Chevrolet went 333.56 feet at the finish. Jim Bosch, all the way from West Olive, Michigan topped a stellar 22 truck Speedco Pro Modified 4WD Truck field to take the win over Thompson, Missouri’s Terry Hagedorn. Finally, in the newly added Super Farm Tractor class, Blaine Fraker continued the John Deere domination with a win in “The Agitator.”
