Sergeant Politeness Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Nathan Weenk still drives, but he is more like a fill-in driver, like Chad Tingler. His last show was back in Mexico of 2013. What? Yo what are you even talking about? Chad Tingler's a full time Digger driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd908 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Nathan only drives when he's called to do so. He's not full-time. Chad, on the other hand, is a seasonal driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd908 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sorry if this is already a thread. I'd like to start a list of retired/passed monster truck drivers starting aroound 2008. I'm also adding the trucks they have driven minus fill-ins and World Finals trucks. Sorry if I added someone who shouldn't have been. Feel free to add any, so far I have: NOTE: * = passed,? = possibly Chris Bergeron (Brutus) Andy Slifko (Eradicator) Jeremy Slifko (Backdraft) Rich Hilgendorf (Spike Unleashed) Joceylen Perrin (Lil'Miss Dangerous is High Maintenaince) Lionel Easler (Instigator) Ricky Ownly (Mopar Magic) Nick Owens* (Iron Outlaw) Drew Haygood* (Desperado) Scott Anderson? (Arachnaphobia) Don Frankish? (Maniac and Jurassic Attack) Kristy Edge (Jurassic Attack) Nathan Weenk (El Toro Loco) Dan Patrick (Samson) Larry Jarzel (Prowler) Steve Reynolds (Cowboy) Bobby Zee (Monster Mutt, War Wizard(Europe)) Dana Creech (Monster Mutt) Tony Farrel (Wild Thang,Blue Thunder, Grave Digger the Legend) Mike Wine (Monster Mutt, Backwards Bob) Matthew Powers (Shattered) Geremie Dishman? (Rammunition) Glenn Logan Jr.? (Cowboy) Sky Hartley? (Nitro Hornet) Glen Bowlen (Iron Warrior) Rob Knell (Hotwheels, Bulldozer) Ron Nelson (High Roller) Guy Wood? (Bulldozer, Bob and Tom, Hotwheels) Phil Foster? (Hotwheels, Maximum Destruction, Tropical Thunder) In order: Scott Anderson = retired Don Frankish = retired from driving race trucks, still owns and drives the Jurassic Attack monster ride truck Glenn Logan Jr. = retired Sky Hartley = retired from driving, came back as a Grave Digger 30th Anniversary Zone technician/hauler driver, got to drive Nitro Hornet in racing in Phoenix, then retired overall for 2014 Guy Wood = retired Phil Foster = retired from driving, pretty sure he still helps with Dan Rodoni though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
