Firepunk Diesel’s Cummins-Powered Pro Mod Duster Breaks Records at No Mercy 15

October 24, 2024

Hot Shot’s Secret®, the nation’s leading manufacturer of diesel performance additives, oils, and racing fluids and Firepunk Diesel sponsor, announces Firepunk Diesel set new records recently at No Mercy 15. Competing in the Radial vs. the World class, Firepunk’s Cummins-powered Duster Pro Mod driven by Larson Miller became the quickest and fastest diesel door car in the world, lowering the record five times during the Radial Outlaw Racing Series race at South Georgia Motorsports Park. Firepunk Diesel recorded new records in ET/MPH – 3.94 at 197 mph, 3.90 at 193 mph, 3.89 at 197 mph, 3.87 at 198 mph and 3.85 at 198 mph, and also set a new record 60 ft. time of 0.975 seconds. In 2021, Firepunk Diesel became the first diesel-powered doorslammer to break into the 3’s with a pass of 3.99 at 183 mph in the team’s former diesel-powered S10 Pro Mod, and that record has stood until now.

Hot Shot’s Secret Director of Field Marketing and Partnerships, Kyle Fischer, says, “Congratulations to Lavon, Larson, Lyn and the entire Firepunk Diesel family. We could not be more proud of this team and all of the hard work they have put in. This engine, the Executioner, built by D&J Precision Machine out of Ohio, has consistently operated at peak performance for multiple seasons powering the Firepunk team to multiple new records. We are honored to work so closely with a team that allows us all to push the boundaries of modern diesel performance to all new levels. Our partnership with Firepunk over the years has led to the development of a full line of Hot Shot’s Secret racing lubricants that is inarguable, proven in the lab, on the dyno and at the track.”

Firepunk Diesel Owner, Lavon Miller, adds, “This was an exciting week on the track. Being the only diesel in a class of the top gas-powered racecars, we were excited to demonstrate what diesel is capable of. Coming into No Mercy 15 with only a couple days of testing on an entirely new setup for a radial tire, we had an ET goal of 3.85 seconds, and we were excited to hit that mark. This is a record that we celebrate with our partners that have helped to make this happen like Reese Brothers, D&J, Exergy, and Hot Shot’s Secret. To protect our five-speed Liberty transmission and our 6.7L Executioner engine we rely on Hot Shot’s Secret’s Adrenaline Racing line of oils. With a healthy racecar to finish the season, we are looking forward to more improvements in the off-season and seeing how fast we can take this diesel platform in 2025.”
