It bills itself as "...showcasing the most extreme vehicles and the most talented pulling drivers in the world."[1] It has been described as the "premiere pulling series" in the United States.[1][2] HistoryLucas Oil began their foray into American pulling when they became the title sponsor for the now-absorbed American Tractor Pullers Association in 2003 when it became known as the ATPA Lucas Oil Pulling Series.[3] Forrest Lucas, the founder of Lucas Oil, created the PPL in 2005 after the ATPA folded soon after Lucas Oil's initial sponsorship.[4] RulesRules in the PPL are similar to other pulling leagues and the maximum boundary limit is 320 feet.[5] ParticipantsCompetitors can compete for cash purses in four series: Champion Tour, Silver Series, Mid-West Region, and Western Series. There are no full-time pulling teams in the League, only hobbyists (sometimes serious) who are "trying to have as much fun as possible."[6] Although many of the pullers in the League are associated with the automotive or farming businesses, there are some who come from fields unrelated, such as dentistry.[7][8][9] As if 2016, the PPL has over twenty classes of pulling vehicles one can participate in.[5] As of 2016, direct family members of registered PPL pullers who are graduating high school seniors are eligible for college scholarships.[10] Related mediaIn the United States it is broadcast on the Lucas Oil-owned MAVTV on Thursday evenings. In 2013, PPL announced the creation of its own magazine titled, Pro Pulling Magazine, but the current status of this periodical is unknown.[11] See also
