The Battle of the Bluegrass Pulling Series(BOB Series) had its first protest take place at the Matt Pike Memorial Pull in Brandenburg, KY this past weekend.  “Protests are a part of pulling and the BOB Series handled the situation as professionally as could be expected.”, said BOB Series CEO Tom McConnell.

The protest took place in the Pro Farm Tractors.  A field of 13 tractors took to the sled at Brandenburg and the last tractor of the class was the lone John Deere of Royce McGowan.  Royce took the lead by barely beating current BOB Series Points Leader Barry Elliott.  Before Royce could be towed to the winners circle, a protest request was handed to a BOB Official with a $1,000 cash.  The protest was against the unofficial class winner, Royce McGowan.  When Royce was interviewed before the record crowd, Royce told the fans that “ …if you go out and beat these Red Boys a few times, they can’t take it!  I will tear my tractor down and take their protest money.”, commented Royce.
