In 1987, Charlie started driving Excliber. Ten years later, he sold the truck and joined team Grave Digger. He has driven Digger since then. In 2000, he was invited to drive WCW Nitro Machine at the inagural World Finals. In 2002, he drove a few shows in Firemouth, including Jacksonvile, which he won. Firemouth was at the World Finals that year, but Carl VanHorn drove it. At the 2006 show in Montreal, he drove Taz (which would be driven by Dennis Anderson's son, Adam Anderson). He tied Bounty Hunter and Maximum Destruction for the freestyle lead, but lost the cheer-off.
