Metal Mulisha is a monster truck owned by FELD Motorsports. It is driven by Matt Buyten. The truck debuted in 2012 and won its first World Championship in 2014, winning the freestyle competition with the score 37.5. In 2015, Todd LeDuc won the Monster Jam World Finals Racing Championship and joined the small list of drivers who have won both world titles.
History
Metal Mulisha was announced in 2011 and began competing in 2012 with Todd LeDuc, another off-road racer, taking the driving duties. In 2012, Brian Deegan was going to compete in the World Finals, with Todd competing in the first ever Young Guns Shootout. However, due to an injury, Brian couldn't compete and Todd would compete in the World Finals for him. Joey Parnell, driver of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, would take Todd's spot in the Young Guns. In 2013, Metal Mulisha once again made it to the World Finals, this time it would be driven by LeDuc. In 2014, Todd Leduc made it the World Finals. In freestyle, Todd got some of the biggest air of the night and executed two back flips. He would later win with a score of 37.5. LeDuc would back that up by winning the Racing Championship in 2015.
In 2016, LeDuc would be invited to Monster Jam World Finals 17.
In 2017, it received a brand new look. Todd Leduc leaves Metal Mulisha to drive Monster Energy after Damon Bradshaw retires. Matt Buyten becomes the new Metal Mulisha driver.
Trivia
- Metal Mulisha is the only FELD truck to run an unpolished body, compared to how the other trucks have a glossy finish.
- The 2017 redesign was made due to there being a gun on the side of the truck.
