Must be hot in that concessions booth.  Great job ladies.

Quit posing and get back to work.

Gary doesn't show much emotion at a tractor pull.  Except when he's angry.  When he looks like this, things are going well.

Another exciting picture of Gary.

Thanks to the United States Army for starting off the show with a bang.

WOH NELLY!!!

Keep going!!

Watch out for that distance marker!
