An Escalade, or The Next Evolution, is a monster truck that races on the USHRA Monster Jam circuit. It is driven by George Balhan and owned by Live Nation. The truck is referred to as Escalade based on its body style, but is unique in that it has no official name. Designed to tap into current trends in car customizing, the truck has neon lights on the chassis and spinner wheels which were specially designed for it. Since its debut, it has competed in three Monster Jam World Finals events.
