Thunder Chicken was a 1989 Chevrolet S-10 monster truck owned by Charlie Rarig out of Pennsylvania, which ran from 1987-1991. The truck was very popular during the TNT Era of monster truck racing. In 2015, the name returned on Mike Harper's new truck of the same name. After Harper discontinued use of the name in 2019, Chris Mormanis purchased the original chassis from Rarig, and is working to restore it for display at the International Monster Truck Hall of Fame. On April 15th, 2022, it was put on display at the TNT Motorsports: Unfinished Business show in Raleigh, North Carolina.
