Class Spotlight Series — Modified Four Wheel Drive Trucks

No excuses. No lift-and-coast.
Just big horsepower, bouncing suspensions, and four tires digging at a track that’s trying to stop them.

Modified 4WD trucks are built to stay hooked when the track gets rough and the power keeps coming.

Alcohol power. Full-send launches. Side-by-side chaos fighting to keep every inch of momentum alive.

These trucks don’t float down the track… they attack it.

One bad bounce and it’s over.
One clean pass and the crowd knows it immediately.

Featuring the 2025 NTPA Grand National Champion
American Made 🇺🇸👇

Before the first hook, the track has to be right.
Every load.
Every pass.
Every detail matters.

This doesn’t happen by accident.
It starts in the dirt.

1987.

Grand National pulling in Macon, Missouri.

Long before this year’s return, the NTPA Grand National Tour was already making noise at the Macon County Fairgrounds.

This one takes it back to a 7200 lb Modified class from 1987.

And in 2026, Grand National pulling returns to Macon once again.

Class Spotlight Series — Modified 2WD Trucks

They don’t just leave hard… they leave wild.

Blown power. Controlled chaos.
These trucks are built to carry the front end, shake the ground, and make the driver earn every inch.

No easy rides in this class.
