Back in the days before tractors, farmers would boast about the strength of their teams and - like with the later moonshine runners having to prove their mettle - would hold competitions to see who was, in fact, the best. This naturally translated to tractor pulls, with the National Tractor Pullers Association being formed in 1969, and in 1983 trucks were officially added to the pulling lineup. One of the most famous names in the sport was Allen Gaines, a farmer and mechanic who became a four-time national champion and Kentucky Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee. Arguably his most famous creation was the exhibition pulling truck Orange Blossom Special II.
