The History Making 2026 NTPA Grand National Southern Swing
The 2026 NTPA Grand National Southern Swing marked a historic and highly encouraging return of championship-level truck and tractor pulling to the state of Florida for the first time since 1979.
Across two weekends—March 13–14 in Zellwood and March 20–21 in Satsuma—the series also achieved one of its earliest season launches in decades, setting the tone for a strong 2026 campaign.
For the first time, Full Pull Entertainment served as the official organizer and promoter of the Southern Swing events, in addition to its role as media and streaming partner. This marked a significant step forward in vertically integrating event promotion, content distribution, and audience development under one unified platform.
More than 70 competitors from across the United States and Canada
participated across four Grand National divisions, delivering a competitive and consistent on-track product across all four sessions. The events welcomed over 10,000 spectators, with strong, engaged crowds filling the grandstands each night—further reinforcing the appetite and demand for premier-level pulling in the Southeast market.
From a digital and commercial standpoint, the Southern Swing generated over 5 million social media impressions, signaling meaningful reach and engagement for partners and stakeholders. For a first-year Grand National activation in a non-traditional early-season market, these indicators reflect a rare and notable level of early success, providing a strong foundation for future growth.
Chase Richardson, CEO of Full Pull Entertainment and WPI Board President, noted:
“The Southern Swing exceeded expectations across multiple fronts—from competitor support to fan engagement and partner visibility. It’s a testament to what’s possible when the right teams come together to execute at a high level in a new market. We’ve proven there is real demand for Grand National pulling in Florida, and this is just the beginning of what can be built here.”
Additional highlights included the debut of automotive influencer Cletus McFarland, who competed in the Light Modified class during the Friday session in Satsuma, earning a fifth-place finish. His participation drew increased attention to the event and introduced new audiences to the sport.
The success of the 2026 Southern Swing underscores the viability of expanding NTPA Grand National competition into new and emerging markets, while delivering measurable value for partners and stakeholders. With a strong operational foundation and proven audience interest, the Southern Swing is well-positioned as a key early-season platform moving forward.
