Grave Digger 33 was the thirty-second Grave Digger truck, built by FELD Motorsports. It was driven by Weston Anderson, but was most notably driven by Morgan Kane from 2017 up until 2020.
History[]
Grave Digger 33 was originally constructed in the summer of 2016 and began competition the following year with Morgan Kane behind the wheel. During its debut season, Kane and the truck competed in the FS1 Championship Series East. They would ultimately finish in the runner-up position in the series standings, behind Linsey Weenk in Lucas Oil Crusader, and were later invited to compete in Monster Jam World Finals 18. During the event, they would be eliminated in round two of racing by teammate Tyler Menninga in Grave Digger 23 and finished eighth in freestyle.
In 2018, Kane and Grave Digger 33 competed in Stadium Championship Series 3. They would go on to win the series, resulting in them being automatically invited to compete in Monster Jam World Finals 19. During the said event, they would be eliminated in round three of racing by Marc McDonald in FS1 Cleatus and finished twelfth in freestyle. Sometime after the World Finals, Kane would briefly drive Grave Digger 38 for the last few Monster Jam events of the season.
Kane returned to driving Grave Digger 33 for the 2019 season, competing in Stadium Championship Series 1. Kane and the truck would finish fifth in the series standings, and were later invited to compete in Monster Jam World Finals XX. During the said event, they would be eliminated in round three of racing by teammate Adam Anderson in Grave Digger 35 and finished twentieth in freestyle.
2020 would mark Kane's final year of driving Grave Digger 33, as both truck and driver competed in Stadium Championship Series Green. They would go on to finish third in the series standings. After the entire Monster Jam season prematurely ended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kane would later be furloughed by FELD Entertainment, due to budget cuts as a result of the pandemic, resulting in the truck being placed on hiatus for the time being.
Grave Digger 33 returned to competition in 2022, with Weston Anderson driving the truck in Monster Jam Arena Championship Series East. However, the truck would be retired following a crash in Hampton, Virginia, which put the truck out of service. Anderson would later be placed in Grave Digger 37 for the rest of the season.
