Chris Whatley, who owns the Mississippi Nightmare ride truck, has purchased the old Hall Brothers Racing built chassis from Brandon Legarde and will be turning it into the new Mississippi Nightmare race truck.

Nick Migues Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Dan Carey expanded to 3 trucks, debuting the all new Hellion this past weekend. It is a inhouse build, but a PEI clone. Also, it appears that Derick Anson has sold his operation to a company that puts on stunt shows in parking lots (much like they do over seas), so the trucks are not currently competing but doing exhbitiions instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Migues Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 A few small updates. Bigfoot has expanded with a brand new race ready PEI chassis, this one being Bigfoot #23. It's unknown at the moment if they are replacing an older chassis such as 15, or expanding back to 5 race trucks. Throttle Monster is also expanding, building a brand new CRD chassis. It's also unknown if they are replacing a chassis, or expanding to 9 trucks. Currently the oldest truck in their fleet is the 2nd KCM chassis, which debuted in 2018.

Nick Migues Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 More updates. Bigfoot 23 has officially debuted- still unknown if they are expanding to 5 trucks or retiring a truck. Joe Sylvester has retired from monster trucks and has sold Bad Habit- the new owner is currently unknown. Larry Overman is selling both of his trucks due to health issues. He's had Guardian Angel for sale for quite some time and just put Watchman up for sale. The trucks have not ran in 2023. Guardian Angel was originally Stinger 1, while Watchman was a brand new PEI build. Derick Anson & JR McNeal have both announced plans to build new trucks. I believe both are shooting for 2024 debuts. Jeff Alire and his team have stepped away from monster trucks, he runs the Veteran truck. The Groths now own and operate that truck along with their other 3.

Chaos2TheMax Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 As me and Nick both managed to find out last week (lol). Larry Quick did NOT sell his entire operation to Monster Trucks Most Wanted. A deal was instead made for the league's owner to drive both of Larry's trucks, with Larry still having total ownership over the trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Migues Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 The Zimmers have returned to monster trucks after a short hiatus over the late summer/early fall, now owning their own trucks. They are building a brand new Concussion chassis which I believe will be a clone of the original Terminal Velocity chassis to be of course Terminal Velocity. They also purchased a brand new PEI that was being built by the Tulackhas but never finished, and they also purchased the Bad Habit Eddie chassis from Joe Sylvester. One of these trucks will become Zimmer SR's new truck, Uproar, and currently no plans have been announced as to what the 3rd truck will be. The new Terminal Velocity as well as Uproar are both set to debut in January. Small update as well, as JR McNeal has said he is now shooting for a 2025 debut for his new trucks. Derick Anson is still planning to have his new trucks running by early 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Migues Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Another quick update, the Groth bros are once again adding to their fleet, building a brand new CRD. It is unknown whether they are expanding to 5 trucks, or replacing one of their current 4. They currently have 2 SUR chassis', a KCM and a Dark Knight chassis. Travis's SUR chassis will be running as Maximus for 2024 Q1. Jamey Garner also expanded, building a brand new Eddie chassis. This one will be the red Over Bored that Chad Tingler will pilot for 2024. It's once again unknown if they are retiring a truck or expanding; this puts him at 6 trucks: 4 Eddies,a cohen, and a concussion. It has been said that the concussion will return to competition in the summer of 2024; his next oldest truck is the Cohen, which debuted in 2016.
