Who Is Ready for Some Pullin’?
The Lexington Fire & Rescue Department is proud to announce the 2024 Lexington Truck and Tractor Pull August 9-10.
Decatur, Ala. (June 18, 2024) – The high octane action and thunder of big trucks and tractors are back at Lexington Motorsports Park with the annual Lexington Truck and Tractor Pull August 9-10, 2024. The public is invited to witness two nights of exciting tractor and truck pulling, dirt throwin’ action.
Sanctioned by the Mid-South Pullers Association, the Lexington Truck and Tractor Pull brings loud powerful engines along with a whole lot of excitement to North Alabama each year. There are six sanctioned classes both nights. Classes competing are Super Modified 2 Wheel Drive Trucks, Super Modified 4 Wheel Drive Trucks, Limited Light Super Stock Tractors, Super Farm Tractors, Limited Pro Tractors and Pro Stock 4 Wheel Drive Trucks. Truck and tractor pulling is known as the world's most powerful motorsport due to the multi-engine modified tractor pullers and is the only motorsport where victory is measured by distance.
Action is set to begin at 7 p.m. Aug. 9 and 6:30 p.m. Aug. 10 and everyone is encouraged to bring a lawn chair. Plenty of food will be available from the concession stand, including the famous Lexington tractor pull hamburgers. Admission is $15 for 13 years old and older, $10 for children 6 to 12 years old and free admission for 5 years old and younger. Proceeds benefit the Lexington Volunteer Fire Department.
“This is a Mid-South sanctioned pull and we are looking forward to another great event,” said Event Promoter Eric Brumley. “Mark your calendars now and make plans to be there as we fill the sky with smoke and the stands with fans for our 2024 Lexington Truck & Tractor Pull.”
In 2019, the town of Lexington (Ala.) announced the return of its popular Lexington Truck and Tractor Pull. The event was last held in 2008 and received attention from ESPN and a mention in Vogue magazine on its list of unusual places to meet men. The 2019 Lexington Truck and Tractor Pull was voted Pull of the Year by the Mid-South Pullers Association and in 2022, the event was voted Event of the Year by Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and development of the $4.7 billion North Alabama travel industry within the 16 northernmost counties of the state. It is supported by 500-plus members.
The Lexington Motorsports Park is located at 123 McQuire Lane in Lexington, Ala.
