Joey St. Mary and the Cowboy Cadilliac give the locals a thrill as he would take it 319 feet and get a 4th place in the Limited Pro Tractors. MALONE, N.Y. — The New York Tractor Pullers Association (NYTPA) made its annual return to the Franklin County Fairgrounds on Sunday afternoon, bringing some of the Northeast's top truck and tractor pullers to a packed grandstand crowd. A total of 32 entries across five divisions put on a spectacular show of horsepower and determination as competitors battled for top honors on the Franklin County track. The event featured Super Stock Tractors, Super Farm Tractors, Limited Pro Stock Tractors, Two-Wheel-Drive Trucks, and Super Stock 4x4 Trucks. The first class to take to the track was the Super Stock Tractors. Despite a small field of three competitors, the class produced an entertaining battle. Veteran puller Rick Eakins used his experience at the Malone track to his advantage, guiding Shelby to the victory over High Hopes and Foolish Highlander. Next came the powerful Two-Wheel-Drive Trucks, where six competitors answered the call. The crowd roared as Howling Wolf put together the run of the class, becoming the only truck to surpass the 300-foot mark. The impressive pass secured the victory over Josh Perry and Sneaky Pete. The Super Farm Tractor division produced one of the most competitive classes of the afternoon, with eight entries taking their shot at the sled. It proved to be a banner day for John Deere machines as they claimed the top two positions. In a tight battle, Jason Van De Weert piloted 44 Special Reloaded to the victory by just two feet over Karl Durant and Big Game. The competition heated up even more in the Limited Pro Stock Tractor division. Six entries took part, but it quickly became clear that anyone failing to reach 300 feet would not be in contention. Four competitors eclipsed the mark, setting up a thrilling finish. In the end, Andre Bourdeau and Secret Weapon claimed the win by six feet over Jeff Dana and Borderline to Heaven. The evening concluded with the fan-favorite Super Stock 4x4 Trucks, which drew a strong field of nine competitors. The class came down to the final hook of the night as the leaders continued to swap positions. When the dust settled, Dan Komarony and All Bottled Up delivered the winning run, finishing eight feet ahead of Jon Zakarauskas and The Hulk. The Franklin County Fair stop marked another successful event for the NYTPA as competitors and fans alike enjoyed an afternoon filled with horsepower and close competition. The association now turns its attention to the Washington County Fair in Greenwich, New York, on August 29, following a brief break while many teams focus on the prestigious National Tractor Pulling Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio, scheduled for August 19-22.
