PPL, Badger State Pullers Wow Packed House at Mackville Nationals
Charlestown, IN (June 21st, 2022) – The 46th Annual Mackville Nationals drew a tremendous crowd of pullers and fans alike that featured two sessions of the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Champions Tour and Badger State Tractor Pullers competitors on June 17th and 18th.
Held at the St. Edward Parish in Mackville, Wisconsin, the twin track facility was blessed with two excellent evenings of weather where the Terminator and Protect the Harvest X-Factor sled were on track patrol duties for the weekend.
In Friday’s opening session the Unlimited Super Stock class Josh Blackbourn laid down a masterful pass early in competition on the Considered Armed and Dangerous-HD CaseIH to take the win in a class of nine entries. Fifteen Pro Mod Four Wheel Drive Trucks made the trip to Mackville where Gary Varner and the Fast Break Ford held on for the win in one the sport’s most competitive classes. Badger State Tractor Pullers class winners on Friday night included Collin Birkholz in Light Pro Stock Tractor on his 1456 JH; Mike Evans and the It’s No Joke in Mini competition; Willie Deppe and the Old School Chevy in Super Modified Two Wheel Drive Truck; Jamie Larse in Pro Stock Diesel Truck piloting his Dodge named The General; and Jason Raun was the victor in Pro Stock Tractor aboard the Industrial Force John Deere.
Saturday’s session had a host of new winners and one repeat victor. Terry Blackbourn’s pass on the Extremely Armed and Dangerous CaseIH stood up for the class win in Unlimited Super Stock while Charlie Hinds and the Runnin’ Wild Texas Style Ford emerged as winners in the Pro Mod Four Wheel Drive division. Mike Evans was the repeat winner of the event on his It’s No Joke Mini, with Tom Gallitz on the Runnin’ in the Red IH taking the 4.1 Limited Pro Stock win, Brandon Coates and the Fuelin’ the Fire Deere netting top honors in Pro Stock Tractor, Terry Timmerman wheeling the Hot and Nasty Chevy to the Super Modified Two Wheel Drive victory, and Jared Ripp and the Farmer’s Nightmare Dodge on top of the Pro Stock Diesel Truck class.
Up next for the Unlimited Super Stock and Pro Modified Four Wheel Drive classes is the inaugural World Series of Pulling event at Norwalk, Ohio set for July 21st-23rd.
