Trucks, tractors battle it out in Lexington

LEXINGTON – The high octane action and thunder of big trucks and tractors are back at Lexington Motorsports Park next month for the annual Lexington Truck and Tractor Pull.

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 seven sanctioned classes each night with the stock gas trucks pulling Aug. 11 and stock diesel trucks pulling Aug. 12, after the sanctioned classes are complete.

Truck and tractor pulling is known as the world’s most powerful motorsport due to the multi-engine modified tractor pullers. It is the only motorsport where victory is measured by distance.

The famous Lexington Tractor Pull Hamburger tops the concession stand menu and there will be a beer garden for guests 21 years and older.

The tuggin’ and dirt throwin’ begins 7 p.m. Aug. 11 and continues 6 p.m. Aug. 12.  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. Fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.

In 2019, the town of Lexington 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.

The Lexington Motorsports Park is at 123 McQuire Lane. For the latest information, visit Lexington Motorsports Park on Facebook.
