Street Diesel Trucks are coming to Battle by the Bay TONIGHT!

Real street trucks, real drivers, and a lot more power than you’d expect. These trucks look like something you’d pass on the road… until they hit the track.

Bubby Knott’s Legacy lives on at Battle by the Bay.

As the founder of Great Mills Trading Post and someone who helped start the Battle by the Bay Truck & Tractor Pull, Bubby’s impact on this event and the community is something we’ll never forget.

The “Best in Choice” Awards are a special part of this event, recognizing one competitor in each class who stands out — not just for distance, but for the details.

Winners are selected by those who knew Bubby best, based on what they believe he would have liked most. It might be the cleanest setup, a sharp paint job, something unique, or just something that stands out.

A meaningful way to honor Bubby and keep his passion for the sport a part of this event.
