In a sport where chaos reigns, where horsepower can break trucks and ambition can break hearts, Derek Rose became known for something rare: control.
Not just horsepower.
Not just flashy wins.
But a relentless, methodical, mechanical brilliance that few could match.
Across years of Ultimate Callout Challenge battles, Derek didn’t just compete — he engineered victories.
While others grabbed headlines with wild drag passes or exploded dyno numbers, Derek Rose was steadily, quietly climbing the ladder.
He posted fast drag times.
He laid down big horsepower.
He pulled hard on the sled tracks.
But more importantly — he finished. He survived. He learned.
Where others gambled and broke, Derek built smarter, stronger, faster.
Each event hardened him.
Each lesson sharpened him.
Every season, he closed the gap toward greatness.
At UCC 2019, Derek Rose finally unleashed everything he had been building toward.
He opened with a thunderous 5.444-second drag pass — an immediate signal to everyone in the field that the technician had become a weapon.
On the dyno, he cranked out 2,503 horsepower and a massive 3,783 lb-ft of torque, one of the most commanding performances of the era.
And when the sled pull came, Derek didn't just survive — he fought for every inch, knowing that victory wasn't given; it had to be earned in the dirt.
When the dust cleared, there was no question:
Derek Rose — 2019 Ultimate Callout Challenge Champion.
Winning was never Derek’s only goal.
His builds weren’t designed for "flash and hope" — they were precision machines, balanced perfectly between drag, dyno, and pull performance.
He tuned his own trucks. He understood every nut, every bolt, every line of code in the ECM. He wasn't just the driver — he was the architect, the engineer, the strategist.
While many diesel competitors leaned heavily into raw horsepower, Derek showed that true UCC mastery required durability, strategy, and total mechanical understanding.
And because of that, even in years he didn’t win, he remained one of the most respected names in the field.
Derek Rose’s story is proof that the Ultimate Callout Challenge isn't just about blowing up dynos or posting viral videos.
It’s about building something that can withstand everything UCC throws at it — and still cross the finish line standing tall.
In the pits, in the tuning bay, in the long nights of wrenching — Derek Rose represents the spirit of every diesel craftsman who's ever dreamed of making it to the top.
Derek Rose didn’t just win UCC.
He engineered his legacy — one bolt, one pass, one pull at a time.
