Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pulls Roar at the Iowa State Fair

Welcome to Iowa PBS Sports coverage of the 2025 Outlaw Truck and Tractor Pulls at the Iowa State Fair. I'm Paul Yeager. We'll kick up the dirt at the Elwell Family Park with highlights of a handful of classes. But first, the Iowa Tractor Pulling association paid tribute to charter members and Hall of Fame inductees.

There's Ron Warschkow of Iowa Falls.

Wayne Longnecker from Cambridge. Out of Odebolt, it's Carol Youngren and Warren Ropp of Kalona. They even snuck a Cornhusker in there. Fred Petsch of Milford, Nebraska. Let's get it started with the Limited Light Modifieds.

Andrew Beckman, Pure Pressure, out of Hoskins, Nebraska. He will take third on this pull with a distance of 312.85.

Wes Sievers, Runnin’ Rowdy, out of Wayne, Nebraska, heads down the track to a second place finish. He takes the rock a great distance of 317.47 feet.

And your champion in this class is Dalton Henery. He's working Double Overtime. Norfolk, Nebraska. Heads down University. Look out, man. You're not street legal here. 349.06. Great pull.

Let's move now to the Limited Pro Stock.

Bill Figanbaum, the Instigator out of Tripoli. Northeast Iowa, well represented. Look at the crowd looking him on, cheering him on, watching him pull. 306.08.

Here comes the International. Brian Miller, Diggin Bone out of Marengo. The Eastern Iowa tractor heads. Look out. He's coming for you, mom. 319.23. Great pull.

And Bryan Deck, Dream On out of Winside, Nebraska. This is a first place pull. Watch him go. Opens it up. 319.75.

Now to the Light Superstock.

Allen Ulmer, it's Never Enuff. The rock moves through. Stops him at 264.44.

Frank Bohaboj from Howells, Nebraska. He's driving Green Lightning. Kachiga kachiga down this track. 287.33.

And in first place. The Last One Standing is Justin Hoffman of Dunlap. He gets airborne in the front, hammers it down, stops at 292.53. That's first place.

Now onto the Pro 4x4.

We got a noise complaint. Miles Jumps, “Noise Complaint.” Pretty quiet. No, it's loud, it's proud and it is a great pull at 309.77.

Longtime fair participant Marty Seleman. He's in “Rat Trap” out of Garden City, Missouri. My oh my, what a pull. Sets a trap there for first place. What can beat 312.32.

It's gonna be this one. Philip Kreisler. “Show me Chevy” and I will show you a first place pull of 313.46.

And now to the Lite Limited Pro Stock.

Scott Struthoff is “Dearly Devoted.” We are gathered here today to see a great pull at the Iowa State Fair. That is a fantastic start to this 315.95.

Brady Goslar, “Spare Time,” out of Ute. This has been a ridiculously close class. Haul those feet. And it's gonna come down to inches. Or should I say barely an inch at 315.98. Oh, oh, oh. So close.

And now your first place pull. Brett England, “Running Late” out of Diagonal. First place on the line. Well, we already know he's gonna be in first place, but by how much? That's the big as we go to this pull. There it is. 316.08. First place. Hey, the fans love it. They're giving a big cheer.

We hope you loved it. And that is a wrap of our state fair coverage this year. I'm Paul Yeager. Have fun at the fair.
