TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  – The Scheid Diesel event will not be coming back to the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds. That meant a loss of tourism dollars for Terre Haute and Vigo County but now a new event will change that.

May 29th to May 31st the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds has announced that BAD Gear will host BAD-X and it will include a truck and tractor pull as well as drag racing.

The fairgrounds goal is to bring a positive spin to this and a different attitude to the event itself. Fairgrounds officials think it will be just as successful as past events.

During the event, there will be a family-friendly area where kids can play

They also plan to host a Jeep rally on Father’s Day weekend.
