Folz, Harris Co-Pilot "Tinker Toy" to Pro Stock Tractor Championship presented by Lemke Motorsports
Sellersburg, IN (October 22nd, 2025) - The Masterson Pulling Team from Grandview, Indiana found themselves in familiar territory on the Champions Tour of the Hot Shot's Secret Pro Pulling League in 2025, notching another Pro Stock Tractor presented by Lemke Motorsports Points Championship.
While the "River Rat" Deere piloted by Kevin Masterson and Patrick Gentry took the 2024 Championship, it was the "Tinker Toy" Deere with Darryl Folz and Joe Harris sharing driving duties and taking that legendary machine to the 2025 title. The duo would garner eight wins across fourteen sessions of pulling, finishing outside the top five only once for the season. Brothers Connor and Connly Metting took second place honors with the "Bull Wagon" Deere for the season and their dad Clint had the "Bullet Proof Buck" in the third spot in points.
Congratulations to Darryl, Joe, and the Masterson Pulling Team as they and fellow points champions are honored at the 2025 Champions Banquet on November 15th at the Hyatt Regency in Louisville, Kentucky.
