Jarred Biggs & Fleche Crawford debuted the truck in 2018 and never fell off the podium come end of every full season they did! Taking 2NZ in their first season and in 2021, falling to 3NZ in 2020 in a Covid disrupted season.
For 2023 Mike & Ben Wheeler purchased the truck and entered the sport. Team Wheeler Racing originally raced Sprintcars in Speedway prior to joining NZ 4×4 Trials.
