What Happened to the Superman Monster Truck?

The Superman Monster Truck was a popular monster truck that had a long and successful run from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. It was one of the first to feature a professional driver and was well known for its spectacular stunts and performances. The truck was owned by Bob Chandler, who ran the Bigfoot 4×4, Inc. company out of St. Louis, Missouri.

At its peak, the Superman Monster Truck had a dedicated fan base that followed it all over the country to take in its shows. Its biggest moment came in 1994 when it won the USHRA Monster Truck National Championship in Las Vegas. It was also featured on TV shows like “Monster Madness” and “Monster Jam.”

The Superman Monster Truck’s popularity began to wane in the early 2000s as newer and more powerful trucks began to take over the monster truck scene. This led to Chandler retiring from full-time racing in 2004, although he still competes occasionally at smaller events.

The truck itself is still around today, although it is no longer used for racing or performing stunts. Instead, it has become a museum piece that is displayed at various events around the country. It is also occasionally seen at car shows or other motorsport events as part of Chandler’s collection of classic off-road vehicles.
