The Pro Pulling League, now known as the Pro Pulling League, (sometimes abbreviated as PPL) is an American professional truck and tractor pulling series featuring Super Modified Tractors as well as Pro Modified Four-Wheel Drive Trucks, Super Modified Two-Wheel Drive Trucks, Pro Stock Tractors, Super Farm Tractors, Super Stock Diesel Trucks, Lightweight Super Stock Tractors, Unlimited Super Stock Tractors, and hot rod Semis on their national "Champions Tour." It bills itself as "...showcasing the most extreme vehicles and the most talented pulling drivers in the world."[1] It has been described as the "premiere pulling series" in the United States.[1][2]
Lucas Oil began their foray into American pulling when they became the title sponsor for the now-absorbed American Tractor Pullers Association in 2003 when it became known as the ATPA Lucas Oil Pulling Series.[3] Forrest Lucas, the founder of Lucas Oil, created the PPL in 2005 after the ATPA folded soon after Lucas Oil's initial sponsorship.[4]
Reorganization of the Pro Pulling League
Lucas Oil discontinued ownership and operation in November 2022. In 2023 the Pro Pulling League emerged under new ownership with Lucas Oil returning in a sponsorship role. Now based in Sellersburg, Indiana, the Pro Pulling League is in its 19th year and the largest pulling organization in the world, with 300 events held by the organization and its member-states.
Rules
Rules in the PPL are similar to other pulling leagues.[5]
