Spanning back multiple generations, the return of truck and tractor pulling at the Iowa State Fair was made possible by a generous donation from the Denny and Candy Elwell Family. Not only is it a long tradition for pulling fans, but the Iowa State Fair is also a favorite place for many of the pullers.

Phase 1 of the Park was completed in 2021 to host tractor pulls as well as a Monster Truck and Demolition Derby event. For more information, visit www.iowastatefair.org.
