U.S. Lube Claims First Battle of the Bluegrass Pulling Series Win

The Battle of the Bluegrass Pulling Series (BOB Series) is proud to announce that legendary puller Keith Race(Red Rattler) is the first puller in the BOB Series to win an event using a U.S. Lube product.  On August 7, 2010, in Sturgis, Kentucky, Race out pulled 14 tractors in the Pro Farm class, winning the event.  Race was using the U.S. Lube Oil Enhancer in his tractor.  “I can tell a difference in the performance of my tractor.  It responds more quickly, meaning it is getting better lubrication.” Commented Race.

Race was among the many pullers that received extra money at the Sturgis event by signing up for the U.S. Lube Contingency Program.  The program requires each driver to purchase a minimum of $350 worth of product, and then each puller will be paid back extra money for being in the program.  The pay back is $100, $50, $50, and $25.  At the pull in Sturgis, the Contingency Program was double, meaning Keith Race not only took home his $600 first place win, but an additional $200, with total winnings that night being $800 paid to Race.  “This is a great program.  Not only do I get some great products that I can use in my tractor and my business, but I get paid bonus money for being a part of the U.S. Lube Contingency Program.”, commented Race.  Diesel Truck Puller Scott Willoughby also picked up an extra $200 for his win in Sturgis by being a part of the U.S. Lube Contingency Program.

Pro Farm Tractors are one of the most popular classes in the BOB Series.  Competition is very tight, as tractors are limited to 470 cubic inch with a 3 inch limit on the inlet of the turbo charger.  The top tractors in this class make over 1200 horsepower.  “If U.S. Lube’s Oil Enhancer can perform that well with all the strain of a 1200 HP diesel engine, it will be a great product for my trucking company.”, commented Race.

The BOB Series is the largest truck and tractor pulling series in the South, sanctioning over 40 events annually.  The BOB Series runs several classes of trucks and tractors, including the very popular Diesel Truck classes.  The BOB Series has over 400 members and is hosting a major event this December 10-11, 2010, indoors, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.  This event will have over 200 pullers from across the United States pulling against the top pullers from the BOB Series.
