Lavon Miller: The Original Diesel Champion

The Man Who Built the UCC Legacy

Before the dyno battles got louder.
Before the drag times dropped into the fives.
Before diesel became a nationwide spectacle —
Lavon Miller was already there.
Already winning.
Already making history.

From the very first Ultimate Callout Challenge, Lavon Miller’s name became synonymous with excellence. Not just because he won — but because he built the very standard of what it meant to be a UCC Champion.

2016: Setting the Benchmark

When the inaugural UCC fired to life in 2016, the diesel world had no idea what to expect. Lavon Miller didn't just meet expectations — he shattered them.

He ripped off an 8.503-second drag pass, devastating the competition with both speed and consistency.
His dyno numbers, reaching over 2,200 horsepower and 3,300 lb-ft of torque, left jaws on the ground.
And in the sled pull? Lavon hauled down 360.88 feet, finishing near the top there too.

Across every discipline — drag, dyno, pull — Lavon showed that true champions don’t specialize; they dominate everywhere.

The first UCC ended with one name on top:
Lavon Miller.

2017: Defending the Crown

With a giant target on his back in 2017, Lavon came back — and made it look easy.

He ran a blistering 8.63-second pass down the drag strip.
On the dyno, he climbed to 2,399 horsepower, still at the leading edge of diesel performance for the time.
And on the sled pull track, he delivered again, holding back a rising wave of new challengers.

Winning once could have been luck.
Winning twice? That’s dynasty territory.

Lavon defended his title with calm, confidence, and a quiet professionalism that elevated the entire event.

2018: The Hat Trick

If there was any doubt left, Lavon erased it in 2018.

He blasted into the 7-second drag zone — recording a stunning 7.884-second pass — one of the first sub-8-second runs ever at UCC.
His dyno pulls stayed monstrous, and his sled pull consistency continued to outpace almost everyone in the field.

Three UCCs.
Three victories.
One name: Lavon Miller.

By the end of 2018, Lavon had cemented himself as the first dynasty champion of UCC — the measuring stick for every competitor that would follow.

More Than a Champion: Lavon's True Impact

Lavon Miller wasn’t just a competitor —
he was a leader and a mentor for the entire diesel world.

Behind the scenes, Lavon was known for his sportsmanship, humility, and generosity. Even while dominating, he would lend advice, share insights, and encourage younger teams to keep pushing their limits.

Lavon was also a pioneer — he helped popularize innovative setups like compound turbos, cutting-edge fuel tuning, and true multi-discipline truck builds long before they became standard.

His builds weren’t about chasing a single event win — they were about building a machine that could survive, excel, and dominate across drag, dyno, and pull.

Many future competitors, whether they knew it or not, were chasing a blueprint Lavon helped create.

He showed that real greatness isn’t just horsepower — it’s endurance, balance, and a commitment to lifting the whole community higher.

Legacy: The Diesel Blueprint

Lavon Miller didn’t just win races.
He didn't just pull trophies.
He created the blueprint for UCC greatness.

• Build a truck that can survive all three events.
• Chase performance everywhere — not just one spot.
• Stay consistent under the most extreme pressure.
• Lead with honor — and make the whole sport stronger.

Every competitor who shows up today at UCC —
every team that rolls onto the dyno, the drag strip, the pull track —
whether they realize it or not,
they're walking in the footsteps of Lavon Miller.

He wasn’t just the first UCC champion.
He was the foundation UCC was built upon.

And even now, when the turbos scream and the sleds groan, you can still feel the mark Lavon left on the diesel world.

The First Dynasty. The First Legend. The Original UCC King: Lavon Miller.
