INFORMATION: BIGFOOT 15 is the latest race truck, built by the team at BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc.
The truck made it's debut  in November 94, at the SEMA Show in Las vegas, with  new & updated BIGFOOT graphics.

The truck entered into the 1995 Penda Points Series Championship, driven by Eric Meagher. With a few unforseen technical problems,the truck didn't preform as expected, so beetween Penda Points Series races, the truck was entered into some non-points races, so they could get the truck set up just right.

With the truck setup right Eric went on to come third in the 1995 Penda Points Series Championship.

In 1996 the truck went into the championship  as a WCW wrestletruck, as BIGFOOT has a deal with the WCW which requires that they use at leat one truck in the Penda Points Series, this is for TV exposure among other things.

It debuted as the WCW Hulkester truck.

It ran several races as that  truck, before changing it's name & body to the WCW Stinger truck. The truck came second in the 1996 Championship.

 In 1997 the truck ran as the Snakebite truck.

At the 1997 Truck Fest, Eric Meagher rolled the truck after doing some freestyle car cruching !

Eric also gave BIGFOOT 15 it's first Championship Points Series win in 1997.

The truck also sported the Firestone Wilderness body at the end of 1997 & into 1998.
After Eric Meagher retired in 1998, Eric Tack, was chosen to take his position, as the number 15 driver.
