A ‘new sport’ may have been invented when these cars raced around a track in an attempt to get onboard a tailer that was being towed.
It’s just as chaotic as it sounds.
There were scenes of pure carnage as cars rallied to get onto the trailer as it was dragged around the track.
Was this safe? Absolutely not. Was it entertaining? Most definitely.
A new form of racing
When it comes to motorsports, we tend to think it’s a done and dusted thing.
Whether it’s NASCAR or Formula One, they’re well established institutions at this point.
But even within this field, there’s still sports that are finding their way into the mainstream.
Tug-of-wars may not have the prestige of the above competitions, but they certainly are entertaining.
Entering the field is a bizarre new sport which has been doing the rounds over on X.
Trying to get your car onto a moving trailer is just as hard as it sounds
A clip was shared online, showing the event unfolding in all its rambunctious glory.
This was a segment of the King of the Hill Trailer Race, which had taken place at the Hudson Speedway Labor Day Thrill Show.
The original video in full was shared to YouTube by Carbon Video.
Several cars chased after a trailer being towed around a track, vying to get onto it.
Some managed to clamber onboard, before being knocked off.
It was totally wild, but fortunately nobody seemed to get too banged up.
Eventually, two vehicles managed to snag themselves a spot on the trailer.

It was a well-earned victory, and it certainly seemed to entertain the denizens of X.
“Why is this actually more entertaining than half of motorsports?” one person wrote.
“This should be made into a video game,” another fan said.
There was widespread agreement that this was great entertainment.
“This is the first year Hudson Speedway has held this event during one of their popular ‘Thrill Shows’ after seeing clips online from other tracks such as Slinger Speedway doing this style of race, and Hudson did it big!” Matt, the man who filmed the video, told Supercar Blondie.
“It will likely become a yearly event. This event was organized by the staff of Hudson International Speedway in Hudson, New Hampshire and held during their Labor Day Thrill Show on September 7th, 2026.
“The atmosphere there was amazing. It was a full house and it’s always high energy at Hudson’s Thrill shows but there was an extra buzz around this new event, the ‘King of the Hill’, where a truck drives around the track with an empty car trailer as drivers race to be the first one to securely park on the moving trailer.
“Hudson has a solid core of very talented and wild drivers who love to entertain the crowd, so everyone knew they were in for a show.
“It was one of the last events on the day’s schedule and there was already plenty of action happening in the other races which only increased the energy leading up to the King of the Hill race. And what a show it was!”
