Bulldozer is a monster truck that races in the USHRA Monster Jam series. It is currently driven by Alex Blackwell. It features one of the first 3-D body shells, with horns sticking out the front. In this respect it resembles El Toro Loco. The truck debuted as a promotional truck for Smoke Craft jerky in the USA Motorsports series in 1997 (USA owned the rights to the truck), and Live Nation received the rights when they bought out USA in 1999. The truck has been driven previously by Bobby Zoelner, Steve Reynolds, Rob Knell, former Taurus driver Eldon Depew, and current Maximum Destruction superstar Tom Meents. Bulldozer sometimes switched bodies with Hot Wheels, Bob & Tom, or High Roller.
