National Equipment League: where equipment operators compete

Written By Aaron Murray

The National Equipment League brings top operators together for head-to-head skills challenges that mix speed, precision, and real equipment know-how. The site highlights current news, past event recaps, and how to get involved. 

What it is

This is a competition format built around real machines and timed courses. Season pages on the site call out challenges like Mass Ex Loading, Mini Excavator Sprint, and CTL Match Sticks, with a champion crowned at the end of each season. 

What’s new

A “Clash of Champions” showcase and the first regional qualifier are scheduled for June 20, 2025 at Lincoln Park Speedway (Indiana). 2024 champion Bryan Furnace is set to face 2025 champion Mike “Dirt Perfect” Simon in a non-title heat that evening. Earlier in the day, local operators can try to qualify for the next full season, planned for July 2025 at the Hyundai Product Center in Carnesville, Georgia. Partners include Lincoln Park Speedway, Diamond Equipment, Hyundai Construction Equipment North America, and Geoff Dodge Racing. Tickets are available at the venue, with a live stream at S2FTV. 

Where to watch

League content appears on YouTube in two places:

  • The official channel: @NationalEquipmentLeague for updates and highlights. 

  • Full event coverage and season videos are hosted on Hyundai Construction Equipment North America’s YouTube channel and playlists.
