From sun-up to sundown, there is always something to do at FP Truck Fest. For the fourth iteration in what has become the industry standard for truck shows, thousands of enthusiasts once again descended upon Fitzgerald Performance’s Jamestown, Tennessee headquarters over the weekend. And not only did FP Truck Fest 4.0 solidify itself as the burnout capital of the diesel industry (trashed engines, overheating, even ghetto fogging…), but it was the party of the year for countless attendees. In addition to the sold-out truck show, the Northwest Dyno Series SuperFlow was on site measuring horsepower, and many of the biggest names in the industry were slinging merchandise and selling parts.

There’s nothing better than seeing a diesel drag racer line up with the street car crowd. When Street Car Takeover rolled into Nashville Super Speedway, ODSS driver Spencer Prichard was already in the staging lanes, ready to make some noise. His SPE–powered 6.7L Power Stroke ran flawlessly all weekend, thanks in part to a few pre-race adjustments from RLC Motorsports’ Michael Dalton. Spencer’s consistency and skill behind the wheel carried his Super Duty all the way to the finals, where he squared off against Robert Ramsey’s wicked, winged 4×4 F-150. He’d ultimately walk away with Second Place—but for a truck that usually stays in the 5.70-and-slower class, that’s a huge statement.

With 20 Super Stock diesel trucks, 10 Pro Stocks, 39 Limited Pro Stocks, and 30 Pro Street trucks, it was easily one of the biggest truck pulls of the year—and without question it’s an event many pullers and fans look forward to most. The big winners at the 15th annual Diesels In Dark Corners event were Craig Dickey, who piloted Cummins Killer III to back-to-back Super Stock wins on Friday and Saturday, Preston Collins’ “Optimus Prime” and Ryan Dedolph’s “Rock Diesel” in the Pro Stock category, Austin White’s “Gambler” in Limited Pro Stock, and JW Oliver’s “The Duke” in Pro Street.

Gambrills, Maryland’s Capitol Raceway may be the new home for east coast diesel no-prep racing—and it absolutely will be if Dante Delaney has anything to do with it. On Saturday, the first no-prep event coordinated by the owner of Delaney’s Diesel went down, and ODSS regular Byron Kline showed up to steal the show in the single turbo and Run What Ya Brung categories. But this is just the beginning. In 2026, expect regular no-prep events to be held here, with classes ranging from fuel only and direct drop-in turbo categories to Hot Street and even a 72mm turbo class.

We’ve never seen this before, but we hope it becomes a thing. Over the weekend, Kuhnle Motorsports Park played host to “Trucktober Fest,” billed as Ohio’s only uphill pickup drag race. The un-prepped, elevated eighth-mile surface attracted the likes of Tyler Stacy and Karl Mireiter, both of which are experienced ODSS racers. Stacy would fair well, with his 5.9L third-gen Cummins even running an 8.20-second pass in what we can only assume would’ve been a 7.70 on level ground (he runs 7.70 Index within the ranks of ODSS). Without a doubt, this type of competition adds a whole new level of stress to equipment.

Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has introduced the Diesel Truck Liberation Act, a bill that stops the EPA from enforcing many diesel emission regulations currently on its books. Additionally, it seeks to erase the penalties that’ve been levied on independent shops and individuals that modified or removed diesel emissions control equipment. The bill stems from the case of Troy Lake, a diesel mechanic in Colorado currently serving a 1-year prison sentence after he was found to have removed emissions control equipment and disabled diagnostic systems in several on-highway trucks. If passed, the bill would erase convictions like Lake’s and force the EPA to halt its pursuit of similar business owners and mechanics.
