Logan Yelton has once again teamed up with Derek Rose and the two proved that when they\u2019re together, they push the limits and great things happen.<\/p>\n
Yelton, founder of Loganbuilt, a transmission business he started in 2018, has been working with Rose on his diesel truck. \u201cBack in August (of this year), I went up to Richmond, Michigan and I did a full chassis set up on a customer, Derek Rose\u2019<\/span>s 4-wheel drive full-size diesel race truck,\u201d explained Yelton. \u201cI set the truck up on small tires (28\u00d710.5 Mickey Thompsons) so that he could have a large range of classes he could compete in outside of just diesel racing.\u201d<\/p>\n Rose previously held the record for the quickest and fastest 4\u00d74 diesel truck with an eighth-mile E.T. of 4.44 at 175 mph. Derek has made some evolutional changes with the truck and found himself struggling to get back in the mid-four-second range. Now enter Yelton \u2013 Rose reached out to Loganbuilt and Logan drove up to Michigan from Covington, Kentucky to help get him back on track.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter ten hours of measuring, plotting, aligning and scaling, we had a good baseline starting point,\u201d said Yelton. \u201cWe then went to the track, Milan Dragway, for testing. Within four runs, we printed three 1.18 [at 60 feet] in a row and a best E.T. of 4.52 at 165 mph. We had something repeatable again to work with!\u201d<\/p>\n Rose spent the next month making some suggested changes per Yelton\u2019s advice, such as shocks, converter stator and more. This past weekend (Oct. 1), Rose went back to Milan Dragway for additional testing with Yelton on remote support duty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBy the end of the weekend, [Rose] had laid down not one but two 4.41 record-breaking passes, and on small tires!\u201d Yelton said excitedly. \u201cHe tied his personal best 60-feet with a 1.160 as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Roses\u2019<\/span>s next outing with the truck will be at Donald Long\u2019<\/span>s No Mercy race at South Georgia Motorsports Park, where he will try his hand at radial prep in the Pro Truck No Time class.<\/p>\n The post DI 30 Under 30 Alum Logan Yelton Plays Major Part in Record-Setting Quickest & Fastest 4\u00d74 Diesel Truck in the World<\/a> first appeared on Drag Illustrated | Drag Racing News, Opinion, Interviews, Photos, Videos and More<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Logan Yelton has once again teamed up with Derek Rose and the two proved that when they\u2019re together, they push the limits and great things happen.
