UCC 2017 BRINGS UNPRECEDENTED CARNAGE.
The Ultimate Callout Challenges has become one of the biggest events in the diesel industry in only its second year of existence. With more thatn a hundred vendors, a show n' shine, and more than 10,000 spectators, it;s an event unlike any other, one that tests man and machine to their limits. The rules are simple: Bring a diesel powered pickup to drag race, sled pull, and dyno, and hope you brought enough. The winner of UCC 2017 would be the truck that was able to finish with the highest total point value in all three events.
With 27 trucks making the call this year, UCC 2017 at the Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis was sure to be a barn burner. Last year's winner Lavon Miller returned with the Firepunk crew, as did runner-up Derek Rose. Team Tripplemax made their way from Texas with a 9.0 second chevy representing SoCal Diesel, as did the drag race trucks of Aaron Rudolf, Chase Fleece, and Donovan Harris. There were heavyweihts too, as Jesse Warren brought his big-power 6.0L Ford, Randy Reyes showed up in his 2,000hp dually, and Shawn Baca brought his amazing "Master Shredder" Ram. Perhaps the most chatter revolved around the Wagler Competition Products 2WD puller, which features a blown and turbocharged DX500 and would be driven by none other than Street Outlaw's "Farmtruck." Who would win? Would the lightweight trucks prevail? Could a 2WD take the title? The only way to find out was to get the action started!
