Holman's Beast is a Chevrolet monster truck out of Dayton, Ohio driven by Bobby Holman. Holman is a 37 year veteran of the sport, with Beast through every stage. The first truck started out as a lifted show truck and was gradually built into a full blown monster truck. Several chassis have been built over the years. It has run as a Chevrolet for most of its existence, but ran a Dodge body for the 25th anniversary tour. It has run other names for a short time such as Lucas Oil Stabilizer, Traxxas Skully and Tiger Shark. The early truck ran as Bear Foot for some time too. The various incarnations of the truck are being developed for the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks toy line.
