Kyle Wilson Wins New Holland Celebrity Tractor

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast-124 - Wrapping Up The CMAThis week on the ZimmCast I wrap up some things related to the Michael Peterson/New Holland Celebrity Tractor Race.

Me and Eddie GeorgeTo start with one of the contestants that I interviewed was Eddie George, former Tennessee Titans running back. He said that this would be his first time on a tractor. He had his family along and his wife, Ty, competed too. They had a lot of fun and as he says, it was all to support some worthwhile causes.

I also want to announce that Kyle Wilson, Agro Equipment Co., Uvalde, TX was the New Holland Celebrity Signed Tractorwinner of the auction for last year’s celebrity tractor that was signed by the contestants in the first race. We didn’t know it at the time but he and his family were at this year’s race so we didn’t get to see each other. I talked to him by phone and learned that his son, Trey, is an aspiring music artist himself. You can find out all about him on his website.

Kyle says that he thinks New Holland should do more of this type of high visibility promotion and he really likes the tie-in with Michael Peterson and country music.

You can listen to Michael Peterson’s song, “Down on the Farm,” while watching a slide show from the week of activities by using this link.

The program ends with music from the Podsafe Music Network and a band called Straight 88’s. The song is “Draggin Down Main Street.” I was just in a rockabilly mood today so I hope you enjoy it.
