ROBERTSON COUNTY TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – The 3rd Annual Jay Fuqua, Don Head Memorial Benefit Pull along with the (6th annual) PPL Southern Nationals will be held September 4, 2021.

Long-time Robertson Countians Jay Fuqua and Don Head lost their lives to cancer just a couple of years ago. Don and Jay both loved Pulling, so, on Saturday, September 4th in their memory the PPL Southern Nationals, and Fuqua/Head Memorial Benefit Pull will merge into one Huge night of fun and action at the Robertson County Fairgrounds to benefit the American Cancer Society.

The event will raise funds for the Sarah Cannon Fund of the American Cancer Society.

Both Jay and Don will be remembered for their love of pulling and for their many contributions to the sport. During the 2018 event, two granite plaques honoring Don and Jay were placed at the starting line and now rest in a Memorial Garden at the East end of the grandstands.

Local pullers and event organizers; Troy Head, Andy Teasley and Joel Armistead, Mike Baggett, Bob Barbee & Wayne Leding are expecting a great turnout so be sure to come out and show your support!

Early History:

Springfield and Robertson County have long been a hot bed of truck and tractor pulling activity since the 1960’s. The first organized pulling event was held at the Robertson County Fairgrounds in 1971 and has continued until today. Many of the founding families are still deeply involved in Springfield’s truck and tractor pulling.
