Since 2016, the Ultimate Callout Challenge (UCC) has been a celebration of diesel awesomeness that puts competitors head-to-head in three events over the course of three days to crown the ultimate champion. In conjunction with the UCC competition, there are plenty of other events to experience as a spectator or competitor: Northwest Dyno Series, Amsoil Show N Shine, DPI Expo, Epic 2.6/3.0 Sled Pull, Friday Night Burnout Competition, and the Outlaw Diesel Super Series (ODSS) Firepunk Outlaw Diesel Revenge (ORD). UCC 2025 will be held at the Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 30 through June 1. Kids (10 and under) get in free; check the UCC website for event tickets.
That’s a jam-packed weekend, but this year, there’s even more. Want in on the baddest diesel shootout?
