Sudden Impact is a monster truck currently racing in the USHRA Monster Jam series. The truck was originally driven by John Seasock and has been to four World Finals under his command. Currently Brandon Legarde and David Fray both drive Sudden Impact trucks, along with the Sudden Impact Racing Team, consisting of, as of March 2009, Checkered Flag Productions champion Sean Duhon driving the Cult Energy Activator, Jon Zimmer driving Amsoil Shock Therapy, and John Killenger driving Excaliber. It is the first monster truck to implement a driveline blanket, made of Kevlar, which goes around the outside of the drive shaft loop to make sure that if the driveshaft breaks, the parts will not fly off the truck, possibly causing injury to fans and officials. In 2010 the truck was driven by a new driver Ben Winslow. He used to be George Balhan's crew chief. Another new thing is that it is now called Ground Pounder. The truck is currently driven by Chris Lagana.
