Hot Shot’s Secret, performance diesel lubricants and additive manufacturer and a National Circuit Sponsor of NTPA’s Championship Pulling Series, recently gave out over $30,000 to the top three finishers in 13 Grand National divisions at the Hot Shot’s Secret Winner’s Circle. 

The challenge included five locations in the series that concluded on Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Wood County Fairgrounds in Bowling Green, Ohio.

“This has been an exciting season with close finishes at every event. It is great to see new competitors rise to the top and then again, also see past champions like Ryan Anderson resurface as a champion.
