Hot Shot's Secret--the Mt. Gilead, Ohio-based manufacturer of diesel additives and performance racing oils and fluids--has announced an expansion of its National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) Championship Pulling Series sponsorship for 2023. The new agreement establishes a six-event bonus series and point fund titled the Hot Shot's Secret Challenge. This points challenge will provide a payout in excess of $30,000 to the top three-point earners per division.

"NTPA is a great series that we have been a proud sponsor since 2020. Coupled with our Title Sponsorship of the NHRDA and ODSS, we are now represented prominently at all leading diesel motorsports industry events and series," said Hot Shot's Secret Brand Manager Josh Steinmetz. "The Challenge provides a fun and exciting series within the points chase, and it will all culminate at the National Tractor Pulling Championship in Bowling Green, Ohio." 

The Hot Shot's Secret Challenge establishes a four-hook series for Light Modifieds; a six-hook series for Light Super Stock and Super Semi; an eight-hook series for Super Stock Open, Super Farm, Pro Stock, Four Wheel Drive, Super Stock Diesel 4x4, Modified, and Unlimited; a 10-hook series for Super Stock Diesel and Two Wheel Drive; and a 12-hook series for Modified Minis.

The 2023 Hot Shot's Secret Challenge will be contested during the Farley Nationals in Farley, Iowa (June 9-10); the Budweiser Dairyland Super Nationals in Tomah, Wisconsin (June 22-24); the Lions Super Pull of the South in Chapel Hill, Tennessee (July 21-22); the Fort Recovery Grand Nationals in Fort Recovery, Ohio (July 28-29); the North Iowa Nationals in Rockwell, Iowa (August 3-5); and the National Tractor Pulling Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio (August 17-19).
