EB Takeover: New Performance Automotive

New Performance Automotive owner, Steve Burton, opened his diesel shop more than 20 years ago as a way to further his passion for truck and tractor pulling. Burton moved his diesel shop in 2004 to its current location in Rural Retreat, VA into a 6,000-sq.-ft. facility where his team does general maintenance and repair work, full engine builds and machining all in-house. According to Burton, about 80% of the shop’s work is performance diesel on all of the big three diesel platforms. However, Cummins is predominantly their focus when it comes to drag race and truck pull engines. Check out the shop’s Instagram Takeover they recently did!
