It was originally sponsored by the truck division of Ford Motor Company and Live Nation.

The truck did not compete in 2012 when Todd LeDuc moved to Metal Mulisha after driving Blue Thunder in 2011, but during the 2022 Monster Jam Season, he began driving Blue Thunder again due to the Monster Energy truck being retired.

[1] The drive line consists of a Merlin 540ci blown & injected engine with a Dedenbear two speed automatic transmission.

This setup has caused some controversy, as Merlin engines are based on the Big Block Chevrolet.

Through the years, Norm Miller, Bobby Zoellner, George Balhan and Tony Farrell have also been drivers.

In 2011 after ford left FELD motorsports, Todd LeDuc was announced the new driver where he would drive it for one season and win a SPEED TV event, but has returned again as of 2022, due to his previous truck, Monster Energy, discontinued in November 2021.

After taking a year off it was brought back with veteran driver Dan Evans behind the wheel.
