Wrongway Rick is a 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty monster truck owned and driven by Rick Swanson of Obsession Racing out of Menifee, California. The truck currently serves as an alter-ego to Obsession and features the body and tires of the truck being mounted on the chassis in reverse, giving the truck the illusion that it is driving in reverse.
History[]
Wrongway Rick was originally created in 2012 and debuted later in the season with Rick Swanson behind the wheel. The truck would then be used as an alter-ego to Obsession, and competed until being placed on hiatus in 2014. It returned to competition five years later, with an updated paint scheme. It would also run under the Trouble Maker name for select shows throughout the 2021 season.
Trivia[]
- The idea for Wrongway Rick was inspired by FELD Motorsports' Backwards Bob, which Swanson had run on the Obsession chassis for select shows in 2011. He would take inspiration from this, which resulted in the truck's creation.
