Right. On the dragster the rearward torque about the axle centerline applied throught the axle and tires exceeds the forward torque due to the weight ahead of the axle. Dragsters have been known to flip, enhanced by the air pressure underneath of course. The puller tractor also raises the front end because the rearward torque about the axle exceeds the forward torque due to front weight and the drawbar pull leveraged through the location of the drawbar. Given enough horsepower and traction I believe the tractor could flip. I just don't know if it ever has actually happened under real world conditions. You'd have to lock the wheels down "instantaneously" and have enough horsepower to accelerate the mass of the tractor around the axle up to an rpm sufficient to maintain the required torque. Or sumptin' like that.
