As you know, we love bringing on guests that are doing amazing things in sports, great sports business leaders, great gaming leaders, people doing amazing things.

And we have another awesome guest in a unique niche that I’d love to dive into here in a bit and kind of talk a little bit about. But first, a little bit of housekeeping. If you guys are headed to the Canadian Gaming Summit, it is June 18th through 20th next week. Man, time is flying. Next week, Canadian Gaming Summit in Toronto. If you do not have your tickets yet, you can use new partner VIP, get you a little discount. If you do have tickets, enjoy that show.

I will not personally be at this one. I wish I was, I went last year and really did enjoy it. It was a great show. But if you are going, please enjoy that show. Get a lot out of it. They’re always fun to network, learn, and SBC puts on a great product show as well. All right, that’s enough for that. Let’s go ahead and bring on our guest and dive in today.

Ryan Knuppel

Today I have none other than Chase Richardson with Full Pole Entertainment. Chase, how are you, my friend?

Chase Richardson

Great, Ryan. How you doing? Appreciate you having me on. Episode 224, that’s how many years of episodes is that? I feel like it’s been, it feels like 50, but I think it’s probably more like three to four years of episodes. So it’s moving right along. You got a new subscriber. I listened up to a few before I came on. So your numbers increased the last day or two.

Ryan Knuppel

Well, there you go. I got one listener. That’s a good thing. I appreciate you, Chase. I know we had a great conversation when we sat down at SBC there in New Jersey. It was really good to get to know you a little bit. We have some things in common, which we won’t get into much today, but both love basketball and have some basketball history, things of that nature. How are things in Kentucky for you?

Chase Richardson

It’s good. We were just speaking before we went on air. It’s mid-June, so the triple-digit temperatures and high humidity is coming soon, but right now it’s nice and cool. It’s like a late spring, so it’s great for outdoor motorsports that we’ll get to here in a second.

Ryan Knuppel

Yeah, absolutely. I cannot wait to dive into this show because it’s so unique and it’s not something that we’ve typically covered in the past. And I’m excited to dive in and hear about it. But before we do get into Full Pole, Chase, why don’t you give us a little background about yourself and kind of maybe your career path that kind of led you into what you’re doing today with Full Pole?

Chase Richardson

Yeah, so every person has a journey, as I like to say, and I don’t think there’s ever any right or wrong way of doing things. You just make decisions and try to make the most of them, whether if you sometimes question your decisions or not. So I’ve been involved in competitive sports, I guess, for my entire life, just by birth and my family, and two things I’ve really… have been kind of my calling card as a person you know from a professional and a hobby standpoint is you know basketball I was fortunate to be a player then coached 10 years division one basketball post-college had a very successful career in that and then stepped away from that three years ago I believe it was three and a half years ago and then alongside of that too I’ve had the privilege and had been fortunate enough to be born into the sport of truck and tractor pulling that we’re going to be talking about here quite a bit in this show. And I say that about those two things because those two things have pretty well defined my life.

Me personally, I coached when I got out of college. And then when I decided to get out of coaching my family, I’m fortunate enough to have a successful family business that I’m involved in and still involved with that to this day. Alongside that, I started this current endeavor with Full Pool Entertainment or helped start it. Now we’ve currently become a media and a gaming and a streaming company and all types of things, but only the one with the goal and the ambition of growing the sport of truck and tractor pulling that I’m so passionate about. I think it’s kind of a sleeping giant in terms of people not knowing how really cool it is.

Ryan Knuppel

Well, yeah, for sure. I can definitely relate to the basketball side of things, you know, the basketball being part of my life, my entire life as well. And then it kind of goes away and you’re like, oh, you need that competitive edge some way. And a lot of us business people kind of use business as our competitive outlet a little bit. And so it’s cool to see you now in business doing some cool things and what I can’t relate to, me personally, is truck and tractor pulling. So I’m excited because I’ve never been involved in this sport. I’ve heard of it. I’ve known of it. But I’ve never been truly involved. And I’m guessing some of the listeners have not as well. So why don’t you at a high level first tell us about the sport and tell us about what it is and just kind of give us that general overview before we really dive into the business side of it.

Chase Richardson

Sure. Yeah. First and foremost, it’s a motorsport, which motorsports are defined typically by, you think NASCAR or drag racing. You know, Street Outlaws is a popular show on TV. A lot of people have probably seen but motorsports as a whole is defined on who’s the fastest and, you know, the amount of time, who can do something in a short amount of time at various different levels. But track performing is unique because it’s the only motorsport – probably, you know, one of the only sports – well, actually, it is the only sport in the world where, in motorsports standpoint, where speed and time are irrelevant and it’s strictly based on how far you’re pulling something. You know, they didn’t get very – created when they come up with the name of truck and tractor pulling you’re literally on a plain surface you’re starting at zero feet the the surface is 350 feet whoever can pull the furthest is the winner it’s simple as that but it’s also you know sometimes hard to to catch people’s attention because when we’re all kids growing up outdoors you know we’re racing our neighbors we’re not pull out trying to out pull our neighbors or something so it’s got a ton of uniqueness from that standpoint but alongside with being uh you know speed and time not being relevant it’s also a unique sport where one person goes at a time and you know there’s outside of bowling I think maybe I’ve been tossed around there’s not really another sport where it’s really you you know, competitor playing surface, you know, and who can do the best besides golf. Golf is, is one that kind of stands out.

So, you know, and you think trucks and tractors, you know, we all drive down the highways and see trucks and you, and then you’re, see tractors mowing or working in fields in rural areas. But these are not your regular trucks and tractors. These are marvelous machines with hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars of money spent in technology and innovation. truly is the most powerful horsepower sport in the world. When I say that, these vehicles in some of these categories make more power than anything in the world. Outside of just hearing the general understanding of what pulling is, when you take a deep dive into it, it’s some of the best and marvelous technology you’ll ever see. It’s one of those things that when it goes back to my ambition and passion of trying to grow the sport, we’re really just trying to create a better understanding of how bad-ass this stuff is.

Ryan Knuppel

Yeah. Thank you for that background. And I think that that helps kind of paint the picture of what the sport is. And that kind of led me into my next, where I wanted to go with the next questions is really, you know, it’s one thing to have a sport and to kind of have something out there, but you obviously think and want attention around this sport. And I’m guessing that’s why you created Full Pool Entertainment. So talk a little bit about that. why there’s this need for the attention around it, what the, you know, all is involved in Full Pool Entertainment. And I guess just why you started this venture around this amazing sport.

Chase Richardson

Yeah, so really quickly, my grandfather was a tractor puller. My dad at age 11 started competing and still does it to this day at the highest level. And then basically when I was born, you know, I was at a tractor puller as an infant. So it’s naturally in my bloodline,

just out of pure birth. The love for it, for me, is not something that came very easy. You go to these venues, these events, and the season primarily is an outdoor season that runs from Memorial Day to middle of September, summertime. There’s these events. There’s literally thousands of these events across the U.S., and then at the highest level of the sport, you go to these venues and there’s capacity.

When I say capacity, I mean there’s one event that sees close to 60,000 people in mid-August in Ohio, Bowling Green, Ohio. And then throughout other places, I see the typical average crowd, 7,000 to 10,000 call it at a national level event, which my background in basketball, that’s like a full college basketball game. So there’s fans and people that love this sport. So I always just ask myself, You know, how come this sport can’t get bigger or grow? You know, obviously NASCAR is probably the flagship motorsport, and motorsports as a whole is niche. But, you know, there’s always been the question in my head, like, we got to do something to make this bigger.

So I’m from Kentucky, as you mentioned earlier, and being from Kentucky, I’m literally 30 minutes from Churchill Downs right now, which we all know is the home of Kentucky Derby. But people in Kentucky kind of have a jumpstart background on horse racing and understanding that sport and how all that kind of works. And, you know, I don’t mean this in any wrong way, shape or form, but horse racing is horse racing because people were able to bet on it and wager on it for historically a long, a long time prior to, you know, the PASPA repeal in 2018. So me knowing this sport, how much I love track reform, you go to one of these events and, and, you know, thinking about the dynamics of one person going at a time, there’s multiple competitors naturally and organically in these stands, in these venues with these thousands of people, people are always betting on their, like they’re betting amongst themselves.

I guess it’s called illegal betting. I don’t want to, you know, nobody’s going to hopefully go to jail for that, but you know, it was just so, it just lends itself extremely well to wagering and, and, me with my background and, you know, knowing horse racing, it really starts as simple as like, why can’t we make this sport like horse racing? And that’s kind of what started the journey for me, myself, you know, a few years back and then a little, I know it’s not that easy, but, you know, it’s something that we are, getting ready to launch a real money product within the days and hours, hopefully. But it’s been a process, but it’s been an incredibly rewarding process because it’s opened other opportunities and sloughed other contacts of people that I’ve met that you introduce this sport to and they start doing the research and then it’s extremely underdeveloped from a streaming standpoint, from an overall just awareness standpoint. So this company that was started on the idea of we should make this like horse racing is morphed into a full blown media company.

That’s, you know, really taking on the initiative, just, uh, you know, we’re trying to help grow the sport of truck of tractor pulling and, you know, spread awareness is, which is what we’re currently doing in this day. So that’s, that’s, that’s the, the quick long version of how I got to this point. Cause a lot of times, uh, I didn’t really see myself in this situation, but sometimes one door opens another, then you meet great people that have passion like you. I don’t have one regret about anything to this point.

Ryan Knuppel

I think you painted a picture, you know, great of, of kind of how this came about. And I, a lot, I want to unpack and what you just said there. You know, I think it’s, it’s awesome. It’s like, you know, I, and this happens a lot in business, right? You kind of start with an idea and it just kind of blows up into this like, Oh, and now all of a sudden we’re doing this and streaming and picks and fantasy and all of the above. And all of a sudden you are the authority on this, this topic, this sport, this, this, this thing and so that’s that’s pretty amazing. Hey a quick question from a demographic side so is tractor pulling typically a midwest thing or is this happening you mentioned nationwide a few times what does that really mean I mean is this happening down in florida is this happening out in california or is this truly like a midwest type thing

Chase Richardson

No, that’s a good question. I say nationwide because there’s fans in every state. We have a streaming platform you can see on the screen there, Full Pool Live, where I think we’ve had 49 of 50 states subscribe through the first two weeks of people that resided all over the country, but in terms of the in-person factor of these venues, the bigger and the best events would be primarily, I would say, in the Midwest U.S., as far west as Iowa, as far east as upstate New York, as far south as probably Tennessee, but Beyond that, there are organizations everywhere. And like the state of Florida, where you are, I actually need to make sure I remind you, they have a pretty cool deal there, you know, in the wintertime, you know, because up in the Midwest and North, you know, there’s no outdoor pooling because of weather. But in Florida, they have, you know, January, February, March, you know, winter, what’s called winter pooling, but it’s in, it’s in Florida. And in fact, I went to an event there, you know, Cal Florida.

And again, this is like a lower tiered event. And it was, uh, in a facility I think the capacity was 5 500 to 6 000 don’t quote me on that give or take and people were getting turned away at the door this is in january you know when you have the NFL was still taking place, college basketball, NBA, everything’s going on, and they’re turning people away. Thousands of people in an event in Ocala, Florida. These events go on all across the country. There’s events as far west as California. In fact, pooling is actually a worldwide sport. There’s a I can have a whole nother podcast or a meeting with you about European pulling and how interesting that is. So it is a worldwide sport, but primarily the larger, bigger events are in Midwest us.

Ryan Knuppel

Awesome. Awesome. Thanks for clarifying that for sure. And yeah, Ocala is just down the road from me here. So it’s a, I’d be an easy one to go watch an event there. That’d be cool to make the world debut as a competitor there. I don’t know about that, but yeah, maybe, um, all right, where do we want to go? So I want to dive into this. You mentioned launching a real money side of this, and you kind of alluded to there’s some challenges around that, and there’s some – I don’t want to use the word headaches, but maybe headaches. There’s some challenges around launching a real money game in any type of niche, and so – From a business side, what are some of those challenges? And has it been more challenging or less challenging than you thought it would be to like launch the game, to like launch that piece of it?

Chase Richardson

You know, I would say the number one challenging thing, particularly in our country right now, you know, this whole wave of real money wagering and legal wagering is it’s in its infancy still. I mean, we’re six years or less than six years removed from PASPA repeal that changed the entire, you know, train of thought on how wagering and legal gaming was viewed in our country. So I’d say the biggest challenge is just it’s so new. There’s I wouldn’t call it lack of information. There’s not a lot of people out there, you know, proofs of concepts at this point in our society that you can kind of go model something after. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s, you know, finding the right people in the right, you know, capacities to help you get something like that going is probably the hardest, most challenging thing. But I will say that, you know, we’ve been very fortunate to get in line with some very good people in the gaming space that let a lot of these doors open, as I mentioned earlier.

And just like anything, and this is just not a gaming thing, if you’re doing something that’s not ever really been done before, there’s always challenges. And it’s one of those things where it takes I don’t know if it’s risky, but it takes courage and some self-belief to make some moves and make some decisions that you want to move towards the next step. So it is challenging, but I think in 25, 30 years from now, it won’t be as challenging as it is now. That’s the best way to answer your question, but it’s been a very fun experience. I will say that.

Ryan Knuppel

Yeah, for sure. For sure. Rewarding. So, so what does the future look like? What does the future look like for full pull? I mean, you’re just getting off the ground here. You know, what, what are your goals? What are your objectives? What, what are some things that you’re looking to really do?

Let’s just say in the, in the next year, next five years, next 10 years, what’s your goal here?

Chase Richardson

Yeah, so our, you know, I started the conversation, like our number one goal is to help grow this sport and awareness around this sport. I say this, I’m probably like a broken record of people that know me, but I really do believe this. And, you know, I’ve yet to have anybody really counter back to me. Whenever you kind of illustrate and and you know I don’t know if illustrates the right word there’s a barrier of entry to kind of understand this sport and and kind of what makes it work and and the beauty in it and for all people that don’t know the sport if you if you kind of worked in in different ways to get people through that barrier you know we have we have a unique situation because once it’s not like uh some other emerging sports recently in our country like a pickleball and some others where you know, they had to go create an audience. There’s already a built in audience with this sport, you know, in these venues and so forth.

So I think our job and our goal as a business is to, you know, spread that message and make it where it’s easier for someone like yourself or someone listening to this podcast to, you know, go take in one of these events. Because once you come into one of these events and and see how. awesome and and competitive and you know marvelous some of these these vehicles this technology is it really sells itself at that point which I think is uh puts us in a good position compared to a lot of other endeavors out there that they’re kind of create something for the first time because we do have a built-in audience so uh to answer your question about what it looks like the next few years I mean we’re already growing you know with our streaming platform uh we’re through through two events you know we’ve almost 4x the amount of viewership they previously had in the previous previous streaming uh capacity but obviously we don’t want to stop there we have much much bigger goals and ambitions in terms of uh people viewing and seeing this sport in a different light and then also you know the gaming side of it I think uh getting that launch and you know having available in market and in different states around the country uh it just it lends itself extremely well to the sport it’s a very beddable sport is is a good way to put it so I think a lot of that’s going to really take care of itself uh with a good product and you know good you know user experiences so our goal is just to to expand and grow and one day, if this can be a sport that is more than just a hobby for the competitors that are in it right now, and it could be like a profession in some capacity, I think that’s kind of my end goal personally. And I think we’re sitting on a gold mine, but I am a bit biased.

Ryan Knuppel

Let’s talk about the competitors real quick. I mean, this is just off topic a little bit this is a little bit more of like the sport itself because you know when I think of a sport I think of you know you think of the individuals you think of the teams you think of the real true people right and in this you know I hear a lot about the the truck or the tractor or the engine and things like that and so how much difference does the competitor the the driver the operator make and Is it one of your goals to start putting more attention around those names and those people and trying to draw attention to those people as well in the sport that are doing amazing things?

Chase Richardson

100%. Again, you wouldn’t know this without someone laying it out for you, but the competitors and the amount of skill it takes to be good at this is probably some of the most sophisticated stuff in all of motorsports. There’s no knock on NASCAR drivers or drag racers or anyone like that. Everyone’s obviously good when they get to a certain level, but this sport is unique because we use this sometimes with some of the stuff we do. It’s, it’s the only sport in the world where there is no practice. And what I mean by that is you can’t, when you’re pulling a sled, you know, it’s, it’s the competitor versus the sled versus the track, you know, You can’t really simulate that at all anywhere because you could go buy a sled and operator and have the best of the best.

The dirt and the conditions at a place like in Tennessee is nothing like it is in Ohio, like it is in Iowa, like it is in Florida. All of these are totally different. Asphalt is asphalt pretty well everywhere you go in the world. Dirt it’s very different and you know, weather conditions play into that just like it does for like a golfer. You know, if the weather’s a certain, you know, way or if it’s rained a lot or if it’s hot or it’s cold, like the ball and the things don’t travel saying what’s similar to that with this fork. And then you add the whole element of a sled operator. You know, these are some of the most sophisticated skilled people you could ever, you know, for you just don’t know it until you really dive in and see it. And you know, you’re, when you’re pulling these vehicles, like there’s a hole in, it’s like a strategy, just like in basketball, if a team plays zone defense, a man-to-man defense, or a full-court pressing team, some people believe in running certain type of engines and running, you know, driving a certain way.

Other guys, you know, change their… Like, there’s no, like, cookie-cutter patterns with some of these teams, and, like, everyone has different ways of doing it. So that creates awesome narratives within itself. And, like, people that follow the community and know this sport, like, there’s, like, real rivalries and, you know… people out there that, you know, just like you see on TV that don’t like each other, that want to beat each other’s head in the ground. So, uh, back to your question of trying to sell all that to, uh, you know, the athletes and the competitors, the sport, it’s, it sells itself. We just got to get the word out there too, because it’s all there.

Ryan Knuppel

I love it. I love it. Thank you for that education. Yeah, athletes. And yeah, I can imagine. I can’t imagine actually, because I would be so bad at it as an operator. But yeah, it’s just like anything, right? Practice and, and, and the skills around it is, is amazing. So. Oh, Chase. Awesome. Well, this has been amazing. I want to wrap this thing up. I could talk to you forever about this because my mind’s just with like what all is going on here. And I cannot wait to see where this leads in the future and kind of keep an eye on it from a true sports side.

One last thing I want to dive into here before I let you go. And it’s really just more of a, of a business thing. So I always like to ask this of my guests and, you know, you coming in as kind of a 10 year basketball coach. So you kind of went down that path is just in basketball, leading teams. Now you’re leading a business. You’re, you’re like the everything in business. How challenging has that been? One. And secondly, what tips or just tip advice, whatever you want to call it, for maybe an aspiring entrepreneur that wants to dive into their sport, wants to find their thing, wants to like do something in sport business. What what advice would you give them if they were just starting out?

Chase Richardson

Yeah, this kind of goes back to I’ll answer it a couple of ways. You know, firstly. and this is my dad, my dad’s a successful businessman and something totally different from basketball and tractor pulling. And, but he, he kind of lives and operates and, you know, does things by, you know, you, you surround yourself with, with really good, smart people that are actually smarter than you is the way he says it, you know, joke. He’s a smart guy, but you know, he means what he says, like you surround yourself with the right people and get the right people in the room. You know, you can make anything happen.

And I’ve, after going through all this, I know we’re still the ground level and haven’t really done anything, but if you get the right people in the right room and the, you know, the, everyone pulling the same rope, I really believe you can do anything. Uh, it’s never, uh, a blueprint necessarily. And sometimes there’s a lot of just figuring out and winging it, so to speak. But I, I think if you, you surround yourself, the right people, anything can happen.

And then, you know, secondly, there’s anytime someone does anything, that’s, you know, being done for the first time or, you know, not the easiest path to getting there. It’s not supposed to be easy. So there’s a lot of days you question yourself and, you know, you, you know, did I make the right decision? And this is a guy who I kind of referred to this earlier, a guy who’s a college basketball coach. I go back to this a lot in life. that I heard speak one time at a clinic made this statement and he’s like, you don’t make the right or wrong decision. You just make the decision and work till you make it right.

So, you know, sometimes it don’t always work that way, but I do believe if a person is resilient enough and, you know, works hard enough with the right people, you can make anything happen. So that’s my coaching slash business advice for anyone. I don’t know. It’s just kind of how I go about it.

Ryan Knuppel

Fabulous advice. Thank you so much for that, Chase. Really appreciate it. Hey, I’m going to let you go here today. Any last words, anything we missed, anything you want to touch on that maybe I forgot to bring up?

Chase Richardson

Yeah. So we have an app in the iOS and Google Play Store. It’s full pull app. You can download it. It’ll take you to our streaming, which is full pull live. You can watch these events all summer long on Roku devices, Fire 6 on your phone. Download the full pull app. And then also there, as mentioned earlier, within the next, literally the coming days, we have a real money gaming platform called Full Pool Picks that will be available in 20 states initially. Those states will be documented within the platform. Florida will be a state, so you’ll have to jump on and participate. But all that’s available on our app. And then we’re also on all social channels. We’re kind of a content platform. portal for the sport of pulling alongside of our streaming and our real money, uh, application that is soon to launch. So full pulls the brand, look it up, uh, give it, give it a look out in, in really maybe try it at 10, one of these events in person. And I, I’m willing to say that you won’t be disappointed. So full pull is the, is the brand and look it up.

Ryan Knuppel

Full poll live. I’ll put all those links in the show notes. There’s fullpoll.us and you got your live streaming. When’s the next event? There’s an event this weekend, right?

Chase Richardson

Yeah, pretty well. Again, there’s thousands of these events all year, but from Memorial Day weekend until middle of September, there’s minus the 4th of July weekend. There’s events everywhere. And this weekend, it’s in Minnesota. Yeah. not far from Minneapolis. I think there’ll be close to 15,000 people attending that. If you’re in the area this weekend outside of Minneapolis, be sure to stop by. Next week’s one of the biggest pools in the country all year. It’s in Tomah, Wisconsin, not far from Madison. All that info is available on our platforms. Again, there’s thousands of tractor pools everywhere, but we stream the highest level, the NTPA, National Tractor Pool Association events, along with Outlaw Truck and Tractor Poolers.

Ryan Knuppel

Awesome. Hey, one last question for you, Chase. I always like to offer this because you never know who’s listening, who’s watching this. A lot of other business people doing a lot of other cool things, maybe watching this show and kind of really interested in what you’re doing. Is there anything you need? Is there anything you’re looking for, you know, that maybe somebody could help with? Or if somebody did want to connect with you, how would they get a hold of you personally? Is it just through websites?

Chase Richardson

Yeah, I’m available on LinkedIn. I’m a pretty accessible person. You can reach out on our site. We’ve turned down a number of sponsorship opportunities just because we’re more focused on the quality of the product and the brand. But I think moving into later part of this year in 2025, we would like our expectation is to get associated with some larger brands I think there’s a ton of opportunity here so if you’re a larger business looking at reaching a niche unique audience um we haven’t really gone down that path too hard yet but I think there’s going to be a lot of opportunity in the future so reach out to us um you know you’ll you’ll reach a an audience that’s pretty loyal and unique for sure for sure.

Ryan Knuppel

Awesome, Chase. Well, I appreciate your time. Hey, good luck with full pull. Really excited to see where this leads, and thank you so much for giving us a little bit of your time today.

Chase Richardson

Sweet. Yeah, thanks for having us on, Ryan. Appreciate it.

Ryan Knuppel

Take care. All right. All right, that was Chase Richardson with full pull. Man, what a great guy. What a great sport. I cannot wait to dive in and check that out from a live side and hopefully get something down here in Florida that I can attend in person. Hopefully you enjoyed that show and learned a little bit about a new sport. I’m really intrigued with all these new sports that things are coming out. You know, you’re getting pillow fighting and you’re getting pickleball and you’re getting tractor and truck pulling and all sorts of stuff that we’re now creating attention around, awareness around, and games around, right, which we’re creating now. real money games and free to play games and all sorts of cool stuff. So it’s really, really an interesting time in sports. And, you know, I think 10, 15, 20 years ago, some of this stuff we might not have thought about as sports. And now we’re starting to kind of open our mind to what is a sport, right? Anything we’re competing in. And so it’s cool to see all this new stuff.
