If you’ve spent more than seven minutes scrolling diesel TikTok or Instagram and haven’t run into Jake Hopkins (@BigFastJake), you’re either lost in the TikTok shop or your algorithm needs a turbo swap. Jake is the walking embodiment of “diesel runs in the veins,” and he wears it like a badge made of billet aluminum and coffe addiction. He’s not just a content guy. He’s the face of FASS Fuel Systems, one of the biggest names in diesel fueling tech—and not in the “corporate PR puppet” kind of way. Think shop-floor credibility meets internet-savvy chaos. He’s that rare breed who can break down micron ratings with one hand and judge your stereotypical truck owner behavior with the other, all while making you feel somehow warm and welcomed at the same…

Black smoke and cheering fans filled the crisp March air as Fitzgerald Performance’s Truck Fest 3.0 rolled into Jamestown, Tennessee on March 7–8, 2025. Billed as “the Rowdiest Diesel Show in the Country”, the event truly lived up to the hype. Even seasoned show-goers hailed it as “by far the rowdiest diesel truck show” they’d ever attended. With 20,000 spectators - Day one alone was said to be “a movie and a packed house”, setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend of diesel-powered excitement. We missed out on the last event in October 2024-so we had to make it out to FP 3.0. With burnouts going both ways in the dead ended street, dyno pulls in the corner, and the burnout pit out going on all day there was never…
