Plot
Episodes take place in the fictional place of Crushington Park, especially in a practice arena full of obstacles and cars to destroy. The reference to Bigfoot (the original monster truck) was mentioned later in the program. The first premiere episode "Race Relations" does not have the character LT (Bigfoot's son), but instead has a tow truck named Hook who also has a profile on the official website.
