Class Act Pulling Team

🚨 THE BUCKEYE CHALLENGE STARTS TONIGHT! 🚨

Three nights. Three hooks. One BIG weekend of pulling. 💪🏼🔥

The OSTPA Cyclone Diesel Performance Pro Stock Semis are gearing up to pull 3 times in 3 days for the Buckeye Challenge! The driver with the best combined finish across all three events will take home a $5,000 prize AND the Jim Fink Memorial Award. 🏆

And you better believe Class Act is ready to give it everything we’ve got! 💙

📍 TONIGHT, Friday, September 18
The Guernsey County Fair and Fairgrounds | Old Washington, OH
⏰ Hook drops at 7:00 PM

📍 Saturday, September 19
Medina County Fair | Medina, OH
⏰ Hook drops at 7:00 PM

📍 Sunday, September 20
Ashland County Fair | Ashland, OH
⏰ Hook drops at 6:00 PM
And this one is extra exciting as it’s the first time in a long time that the Pro Stock Semis have been back at Ashland!

It’s going to be a LONG three days for these trucks, drivers and crews, but this is the kind of weekend we live for. Three chances to put on a show, three great Ohio fairs, and one heck of a battle for the Buckeye Challenge! 🇺🇸

Now we just need Mother Nature to cooperate. 🤞🏼🌧️ Say a little prayer that the rain holds off long enough for everyone to get a few good runs down the track! Please watch the OSTPA page for any delays and/or cancellations for this weekend!

Come out, pack the grandstands and cheer on your favorite Pro Stock Semi. We’d sure love to see plenty of Class Act fans out there! 💙🏁

It all starts TONIGHT in Old Washington! LET’S GO PULLING!🔥

🌧️➡️🏁 There’s no place like pulling at HOME.

Saturday morning and early afternoon brought a TON of rain, and for a while, we weren’t sure Mother Nature was going to let us put on a show at all. But somehow, the pulling gods swept the storms out about an hour earlier than expected, and the incredible track crew at the Wayne County Fair went straight to work.

By 7 PM, the track was ready for hook time. After everything that track had taken just hours before, getting it into pulling shape was no small task, and we can’t say enough about the crew that made it happen.

And we’re especially thankful they did, because Wayne County isn’t just another pull on our schedule. This one is home. 💙

This is where so many of the people who support Class Act all season long get to come out and watch us right in our own backyard. It’s familiar faces in the stands, friends and family along the fence, and a hometown crowd cheering when Class Act rolls onto the track. There’s just a different feeling when you get to hook in front of your people, at your fair, on your home track.

Of course, you always want that hometown win. Class Act is still fighting through a few bugs and keeping our crew busy, but we were able to put together a run good enough for a 2nd place finish. 🥈 And while it wasn’t the top spot, we certainly won’t take a runner-up finish at home for granted.

After all that rain, we ended up with a great track, a great OSTPA pull, and one of those nights that reminds us why we love this sport so much.

A huge thank you to the Wayne County Fair track crew for putting in the work to make sure we got to pull, to OSTPA for another great show, and especially to all of our friends, family, fans, and hometown supporters who packed in to cheer us on.

Getting to compete is special.

Getting to do it at home, surrounded by the people who have supported this truck and this team through it all, means just a little bit more. 💙🏁

We’ll keep chasing down those bugs, keep working, and keep moving forward.

Onto the next one!

🇺🇸 9.11.01 — We Will Never Forget.

Twenty-five years ago today, our country experienced a day that forever changed America.

We remember the lives that were taken too soon. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away. We remember the families who never got to say goodbye, and the countless men and women whose lives were forever changed.

But we also remember what happened next.

In the days that followed, Americans came together. Strangers helped strangers. Neighbors checked on neighbors. Flags flew from homes, businesses, farms, and trucks across this country.

For a little while, our differences didn't seem quite so important.

As a pulling team, and as part of a trucking community that travels this country mile after mile, we're reminded just how many different people, families, and communities make up this place we are blessed to call home.

Today, may we remember that before all the things that can divide us, we are Americans.

May we honor those we lost not only by remembering September 11th, but by carrying a little more of the unity, kindness, and love for one another that America showed on September 12th.

Honor. Remember. Be United. 🇺🇸

Never forget. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Labor Day from the Class Act crew!

🏁 CLASS ACT IS BACK! 🏁

After what felt like a long time away from the track, Class Act finally got the chance to hook again at the Portage County Fair OSTPA pull!

To say this season has been a lot of trial and error would probably be an understatement. Our crew has spent countless hours working on this truck, changing things, testing things, scratching their heads, changing them again… and occasionally wondering if our ideas were ever going to cooperate.

We decided Portage was the perfect place to finally test out what our mad engine scientists have been working on.

And well… the science experiment seemed to have work. 🧪🔬

We went into the night simply hoping to make a good pass, learn something, and see how the truck responded. We certainly weren’t expecting to come out on top — especially by only about half a foot! It doesn’t get much closer than that!

We are incredibly grateful and feel very blessed to have walked away with the win. More than anything, we’re proud to see all of the work our crew has put into Class Act this season finally show itself on the track. These guys have worked tirelessly behind the scenes all year, through the good, the bad, and plenty of frustrating moments. This one belongs to every person who has turned a wrench, offered an idea, lent a hand, or simply kept encouraging us to keep going. We couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you to OSTPA, Cyclone Diesel Performance, Unleaded 88, other sponsors, the Portage County Fair, the officials, volunteers, fellow competitors, and everyone who came out to watch and support the sport we love. We’re just grateful to have the opportunity to be out there doing it again.

Onto the next one. 💙

The first weekend of the Fendt High Stakes Series is officially in the books!

While Class Act didn't come home with the win last weekend, we're proud to have finished with a 2nd place on Friday night and a 3rd place on Saturday before the rain brought things to an early end.

What we did bring home was valuable data, a truck that continues to run strong, and confidence that all of the hard work put in during the offseason is moving us in the right direction. There were a lot of adjustments made to get ready for the 2026 season, and we're proud of how Class Act performed against some of the toughest competition in the country.

Most importantly, we're grateful for our amazing team behind the truck. The countless hours spent in the shop, the late nights, the problem-solving, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get to the track ready to compete never go unnoticed. This sport takes a village, and we're fortunate to have a great one.

A huge thank you to our sponsors for making it possible for us to do what we love: IHRA, Fendt, Hot Shot's Secret, Rural King, MAC Trailer, Summit Racing Equipment, and so many others who support our team throughout the season. And of course, our amazing fans that are there for us, rain or shine! Thank you for your support, it truly means the world to us!

We also want to thank Darana Dragway 42 for hosting an outstanding event. The entire weekend was first-class, and everything ran incredibly smoothly despite the weather challenges.

And finally, congratulations to RJ Simon and the Drivers Wanted team on sweeping the weekend. That's an impressive accomplishment, and they put on one heck of a show for the fans.

We're motivated, thankful, and already looking ahead to the next stop in Farley, Iowa June 19th and 20th. See you there! 💨🚛 And if you cannot be there, you can catch the pulls live for FREE on Speed Sport 1 and propulling.tv!

🦖 THROWBACK THURSDAY 🦖

While digging through some old team stuff, we uncovered this relic of a shirt. And when we say old… we mean dinosaurs-might-have-been-sponsors old. 🦕😂

This thing has seen more seasons than we can count, survived countless hooks, and somehow managed to stick around long enough to become a certified piece of Class Act history.

But enough about ancient artifacts…

🔥 ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP UNTIL THE FIRST HOOK OF THE Fendt High Stakes Series! 🔥

Tomorrow night, we'll roll into Darana Dragway ready to kick off a brand-new series against some of the toughest competition in the country.

The caliber of competition headed to West Salem is second to none, and we’re looking forward to lining up with some of the best in the sport. Whether you’re pulling, wrenching, cheering from the stands, or just there for the smell of diesel and dirt, this weekend is shaping up to be something special.

New series. 👀
New look on the truck. 👀
What's next...

New team shirts...? 😏
New fan shirts. 🤩 (jk, but we are working on them)

You'll just have to wait and see.

So enjoy this blast from the past… and then get ready to make some new memories.
