In this episode of the Power Driven Podcast, we sit down with Josh McCormick, the 2025 Ultimate Callout Challenge Champion, to break down everything that went into his winning weekend. From setting a 3000+ horsepower dyno number to surviving one of the toughest diesel competitions in the country, Josh walks us through the full experience.

We talk about what it takes to stay competitive across drag racing, sled pulling, and the dyno, and how his Cummins-powered setup held strong through all three events. Josh shares what his prep looked like going in, how things unfolded day by day, and the moments that nearly derailed everything. You’ll hear about the long hauls, the behind the scenes chaos, the victories that didn’t make the highlight reels, and how he kept his truck running clean and consistent from start to finish.

We also get into the current state of competition diesel. From the evolving truck builds to standout performances from other drivers, this episode gives a real look at how high the bar has been raised and what it means to keep up.

If you’re into diesel drag racing, dyno tuning, sled pulling, or just want to hear how top-level trucks are built and run at elite events like UCC, this is the episode for you. It’s informative, entertaining, and packed with insight from someone who’s earned his spot at the top.
