It’s been a HOT summer, and we are giving you all some really awesome show coverage from all over the country in this issue—from Utah to North Carolina.

In a huge win for the motorsports community, Iowa has passed groundbreaking legislation protecting racetracks from nuisance lawsuits filed by businesses and residential developments that spring up after a track has already been established. For the racing scene—already fighting battles on multiple fronts—this could be the kind of shot in the arm that keeps small tracks alive and the culture thriving for years to come. WHY RACING NEEDS THIS KIND OF PROTECTION The racing community has always operated with one foot on the gas and the other stepping around bureaucratic landmines. As diesel drag racing and truck pulls gain popularity, small-town tracks have become essential hubs where grassroots racers can flex their muscle without facing the wrath of city councils and suburban HOA presidents. The problem though, is that urban…

If you’ve ever had a 12-valve Cummins, you’ve wanted your P7100 to make more power. If you’ve gotten past the point of your stock pump only fueling so much, you’ve called Northeast Diesel Service of Springfield to make your P-pump either get a little or A LOT more power.

We’re also…

On April 12, 2025, the Southern Utah truck scene roared to life as Southwest TruckFest rolled into the Staheli Family Farm in Washington, Utah. Under bright blue skies and amidst the wide-open farmland, hundreds of truck enthusiasts gathered for one of the region’s fastest-growing automotive events. From lifted monsters to finely detailed classics and diesel powerhouses, this year’s show proved once again that the Southwest’s passion for trucks runs deep. With gates opening early at 8:30 AM, spectators were greeted by rows of custom builds that reflected every corner of the truck world—bagged C10s, lifted late-model diesels, and even a few military-styled rigs. Whether you were into polished show trucks or gritty, workhorse dailies, there was something here to admire. One of the most talked-about attractions of the day was…

While fighting for our lives in the mud at Mother Road Mayhem, we found some respite by running off to shoot Nick Hotz’s latest stage of his Dodge Ram 2500 around Joplin, Missouri. Nick recently bagged his truck with a custom kit he threw together—with the help of his father, Willie, naturally. The two managed to pull off an incredibly good looking and performing truck, with literally hours to spare before meeting up with us at Mother Road Mayhem. True to the reality we all know and love when it comes to building these trucks, parts got delayed as the event got closer. The last batch of parts Nick was expecting for everything steering related got delayed, and he ended up receiving them the day before they planned on leaving…
