His mother, Vicki Parkinson, added he’s always starting new ventures. “I do a lot of that kind of stuff,” he said. He helps plant the corn and beans, drives a semi-truck, runs the combine and helps with the harvest, among other things. They farm about 2,000 acres so when he’s not competing he’s helping with the chores. Homeschooled since the fourth grade, he lives with his parents on the family farm called Parkinson Farms on Dry Creek Road. But tractor pulling aside, Drew lives a quieter life in McKean Township (with a Granville address). “It feels great when everything clicks and you make the right decisions about gears, tires and track position.”ĭrew said he’s loved tractor pulling since he was 2-years-old. “The fastest car and the wildest roller coaster can't compare to the feeling of the power going down the pulling track,” he said. The winner is the tractor that goes the farthest as measured by a laser. It moves forward as the tractor pulls it down the track. When Drew and his dad compete they hook their tractors to a transfer sled that has a weight box. ![]()
