This is when Miller recorded a 4.101 pass to set the new Pro Mod record for diesel drag racing, officially making Firepunk Diesel's dark plum, Cummins-powered Duster both the fastest and quickest diesel Pro Mod.

"We've been very fortunate to have assembled a great team of partners to help make diesel motorsports history. Hot Shot's Secret has been a part of this journey for years, beginning with our record-setting S10. This is just the beginning of what you can expect from this car," Firepunk Diesel Owner Lavon Miller said.

The record-holding Firepunk Diesel Duster features a D&J Precision Machine Executioner 6.7L Cummins engine, a 5-speed Liberty transmission with a Ty-Drive and a Neal Chance converter. The engine, fuel system and transmission utilize the protection of a slate of Hot Shot's Secret diesel performance additives, Adrenaline Racing Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid and Gear Oil.
