Madusa (truck)

Madusa is the name of a monster truck driven by Debra "Madusa" Miceli, one of two wrestlers to actually drive their own monster truck (The other was Chad Fortune in WCW Nitro Machine, albeit only in several occasions). It is also perhaps the most famous truck to be driven by a woman, and the only one to win a world championship. Madusa has competed in World Finals 1-6, 10-15, 16 (Young Guns Shootout only), and 17.

History
In 1999, SFX Motorsports (now FELD) began building WCW trucks. While most of them had hired veteran drivers to drive their trucks, Madusa drove her own truck. This made the Madusa truck a fan favorite.

She made it to the World Finals in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003. Then, in 2004, she tied with Maximum Destruction and El Toro Loco for the freestyle win at World Finals V.

She returned to the World Finals in 2005 and won the racing championship. After that she left FELD Motorsports for four years, but returned in 2009 to make her 7th appearance at the World Finals in Las Vegas.While in the hiatus, she temporarily drove a Bigfoot truck known as "Bigfoot Madusa".

In 2010, she did a encore with a body that was directed to Breast Cancer Research on the El Matador chassis, but unfortunately broke a wheel off after going over her first hit.

In 2011, she did a new color, pink, for a year with the same body style from previous years, but in 2012 changed it to a Ford F-150 Pickup.

In 2015, Brianna Mahon drove a red-white-and blue Madusa for the Young Guns Shootout, as Miceli was not be able to compete in World Finals 16 due to her induction to the WWE Hall of Fame. The body was run to celebrate Madusa's 15th Anniversary of driving Monster Trucks, and was a throwback to the 2nd Madusa body.

During first quarter in 2016 the truck was temporarily run as a Zombie. When Madusa suffered a driving related injury in late January a yellow Zombie body would be put on the truck and driven by various drivers for the next two months.

In 2016, Brianna would have to cover yet again for Madusa at the Monster Jam World Finals as she had a driving related injury. She would also cover for the Metlife Stadium show that April aswell.

In 2017, it will have a chrome paint job and it will be the final season of the truck, unless another driver takes over. and her Friend Chad Fortune Will Stayed for a Couple Years With Dennis Anderson.
