Class Act Pulling Team

06/12/2026

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.

At the end of the weekend, if we can load up, head home, and say, "Man, that was fun," we'll call it a successful start to the season.

Safe travels to all the teams making their way to West Salem, and thank you to the fans who make events like this possible.

So grab your friends, grab your family, grab that neighbor who’s always mowing at 7 AM on Saturday, and head to West Salem.

We Are Committed!

The Hot Shot's Secret Champion Tour is calling—and we’re answering.

The Class Act Pulling Team is proud to officially commit to the 2026 season, and we couldn’t be more fired up to hit the track alongside some of the best competitors in the country. This tour brings out the toughest trucks, the hardest-working teams, and the kind of competition that pushes everyone to be better.

This year… it’s shaping up to be one heck of a showdown.
💥 Mack vs. Peterbilt 💥

Old-school grit meets proven performance. Different builds, different styles—but the same goal: hook hard and go the distance.

We’ve been putting in the hours, making the changes, and getting everything dialed in for what’s ahead. There’s nothing like the feeling of rolling into a track knowing you’re lined up against the best.

So now the question is…

Which one will come out on top??

We’re honored to be part of this tour, grateful for the opportunity, and ready to give it everything we’ve got.

Let’s go to work. 💪🔥
