Who Owns King Krunch Monster Truck?

For a long time, the question of who owns King Krunch Monster Truck has been up for debate. The monster truck is one of the most iconic and recognizable vehicles in the world, and it has a storied history.

It was originally owned by Big Foot Motorsports, which was founded in 1975 by Bob Chandler and his wife Marilyn. The truck was created to compete in the then-new sport of monster truck racing, and it quickly became an instant hit.

Since its inception, King Krunch Monster Truck has been driven by some of the biggest names in monster truck racing. Bob Chandler himself drove the truck for many years before passing it off to his son Dennis, who took over as driver in 1988. Dennis had some success behind the wheel of King Krunch before eventually retiring from competition in 2011.

In recent years, ownership of King Krunch Monster Truck has changed hands several times. In 2012, it was acquired by Feld Motorsports, which continued to use the iconic vehicle as part of its Monster Jam tour.

Later, in 2018, ownership passed to 4 Wheel Parts Performance Centers and their parent company Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP). As part of this transition, Dennis Chandler returned to driving King Krunch once again until he retired for good at the end of 2019.

Today, Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP) is considered to be the current owner of King Krunch Monster Truck. The company continues to use King Krunch as part of its promotional efforts for 4 Wheel Parts Performance Centers and other TAP brands like Smittybilt and G2 Axle & Gear. They also continue to show support for monster truck racing events around the world by sponsoring teams and drivers alike.

Conclusion:
At present, Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP) owns King Krunch Monster Truck. They continue to use it as a promotional tool for their brands while also showing support for monster truck racing events around the world through sponsorship deals with teams and drivers alike.
