[edit] World Finals History

2002: The first time that High Roller had ever been to the Monster Jam World Finals, but the truck was changed to Hot Wheels, just for the show, and later, became the regular bodystyle and truck.

2004: The truck was back to Las Vegas, Nevada, as Hot Wheels and was driven by Neil Elliot, for the first time. The truck finished in the top for freestyle, but was defeated by Maximum Destruction in Round One, since he qualifyied last.

2005: Phil Foster drove Hot Wheels in the World Finals for his first and maybe last appearances. The truck broke in racing and broke again in freestyle and had to stop, and got a low score.

2006: Neil Elliot was back in Hot Wheels and made it to the Semi-Finals, but lost to Grave Digger, and couldn't come back to freestyle. Then Neil drove out Maximum Destruction II onto the field and it was jumped by Tom Meents's Maximum Destruction.

2007: Neil Elliot drove Hot Wheels once again and beat Pastrana 199 in round 1, Bounty Hunter in round 2, but lost to Batman in the third round, and broke, so he couldn't come back out for freestyle.
