Inferno was a monster truck that raced on the USHRA Monster Jam circuit, and is owned by Live Nation. It had formerly ran as the WCW Nitro Machine, and shared the same paint and body style (a 1997 Chevrolet Astro Van) for it's early existence. With this identity the truck competed in the first Monster Jam World Finals. The truck currently runs only periodically, primarily as part of the Monster Jam Europe tour, and has had various drivers in recent years, most recently John Seasock on portions of the 2006 Europe tour. The chassis is the former Grave Digger III, and it moonlighted as Pastrana 199 during the 2006 winter season. The truck was finally retired in 2007 due to chassis fatigue.
