One of the contestants in today’s tractor race was the Hon. William Chatfield, Director of the Selective Service System. He’s on the left btw.
Race Setup
Here we are on a beautiful Sunday morning in Nashville. The New Holland team is setting up the race course for today’s celebrity tractor race. I just spoke with Michael Peterson. He’s already out here to make sure everything is ready. The race isn’t until after noon. I think he’ll be available to sign autographs here at the New Holland booth.
