Destroyer is a monster truck currently competing on the USHRA Monster Jam circuit. It is owned and driven by Dan Evans. Originally a Chevrolet S-10 based on the old Blue Max truck, a new Dan Patrick-built truck with a Ford F-150 body debuted in 2007.

Evans is well known for his reverse jumps. In the freestyle section of the World Finals 2005, he went up in reverse over a bus stack and then a semi trailer jump. In 2007, he went over the double bus stack in reverse, ripping the right rear spindle bolts out and returning it, out of commission, to its shop in pieces to be used for the new truck.
