Wicked is a custom hotrod monster truck that debuted in 2012. There are currently two Wicked trucks competing on the circuit. One is in Australia under Monster Events' ownership with Hayden McLeary driving, while the other is in the U.S. owned by Team KCM, driven by Todd Morey and Corey Clark. The truck was exclusively run only in Australia under Kreg from 2012-2013 as he was driving Maximum Destruction in the United States during that period. In 2014, he left Monster Jam and brought the Wicked name Stateside to compete full time. Wicked was also the first truck constructed by Team KCM since Kaptain Insano's retirement in 2009.
