2026 NTPA Grand National Southern Swing – A Historic Southern Start to the Season
Zellwood, FL & Satsuma, FL — March 2026
History is set to roar through Florida this spring as the 2026 NTPA Grand National Southern Swing—the first-ever Southern launch to the NTPA Grand National points season.
For the first time in the 75-year history of championship pulling, the Grand National opener will thunder into the Sunshine State, bringing world-class horsepower to two iconic Florida towns:
- Zellwood, Florida – March 13-14, 2026
- Satsuma, Florida – March 20-21, 2026
This two-stop, four-night spectacle marks the long-awaited return of Grand National pulling to Florida for the first time since Tampa in 1979—and represents a bold new chapter for Southern motorsports fans.
The Action: Big Iron, Big Stakes, Southern Soil
Each night of the Southern Swing will showcase elite-level Grand National competition across four powerhouse divisions:
- Mini Modifieds
- Light Modifieds
- 4.1 Limited Pro Stock Tractors
- Super Stock Diesel 4x4
These aren't your county fair tractors—these are custom-built machines pushing the limits of power and precision, piloted by the sport’s fiercest competitors. Every session counts in the season-long championship, making this early-season clash one of the most critical moments of 2026.
All four classes will compete on both nights at both stops, delivering nonstop pulling action, thunderous horsepower, and the kind of dirt-slinging drama only NTPA Grand National can bring.
