Meet the Renegades: The 2025 Monster Truck and Driver Lineup
The backbone of the Renegade Monster Truck Tour is its fierce, competitive lineup of trucks and the talented drivers who pilot them. Run by owner and veteran driver Zane Rettew, Monster Events brings a mix of established fan favorites and powerful new machines to every stop. The 2025 season promises an exciting clash of horsepower and skill, making the freestyle and timed-racing events unmissable.
Key Trucks and Drivers for the 2025 Tour (The Roster)
The independent circuit is known for its passion, and the Rettew Motorsports team, the core entity of the tour, sets the standard.
- Stinger Unleashed (Driver: Zane Rettew): As the flagship truck and the driving force behind the tour, Zane Rettew’s Stinger Unleashed is a perennial fan favorite. Rettew, a veteran out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, commands this powerful machine, which has become synonymous with massive air and aggressive freestyle runs.
- Pretty Wicked (Driver: Lindsey Rettew): Driven by Zane’s wife, Lindsey Rettew, Pretty Wicked is a formidable competitor. Her presence adds a compelling dynamic to the tour, proving that the monster truck world is a family affair. This truck, often running a PEI chassis, is known for its speed and precision in the side-by-side bracket competition.
- Shredder (Driver: TBD/Zane Rettew Team): Debuting in 2024, Shredder is the team's newest truck, often built on a state-of-the-art Cohen chassis. Its inclusion in the 2025 lineup ensures a fresh, modern edge to the competition, pushing the boundaries of what these mechanical beasts can do.
- Toxic: This truck is confirmed to be competing on the Renegade series, bringing its own unique style and driver (often Travis Petri) to challenge the Rettew team. Toxic is a well-known name in the independent monster truck scene.
- Illuminator: Another powerful machine, Illuminator, is also set to compete, adding another layer of intense rivalry to the racing and freestyle events.
The diverse lineup of trucks ensures that the Freestyle, Wheelie Contest, and Timed-Racing events are always unpredictable, offering a true test of driver skill and machine durability.

Confirmed 2025 Major Event Stops:
Fans should mark their calendars for these high-profile events which are set to host the full Renegade lineup, including the Mini-Monster Trucks and the Renegade Road Rippers.

Arguably the most unique event on the tour, the Monsters on the Beach spectacle takes place directly on the sand at Spicer Avenue.

- Montgomery County Fairgrounds, Gaithersburg, MD
A recurring location for the Renegade Monster Trucks, the Gaithersburg show is expected to feature a full lineup, continuing its tradition of constant, high-energy action.
Beyond the Big Trucks: The Supporting Show Classes
What sets the Renegade Monster Truck Tour apart is its commitment to a full entertainment package. The show isn't just about the 10,000-pound monster trucks; it features two unique support classes that add tremendous variety, skill, and excitement to the two-hour spectacle. The integration of these classes ensures that the action is non-stop, appealing to all fans of off-road motorsports.
The Thrill of the Renegade Road Rippers (Tuff Trucks)
The Renegade Road Rippers, often referred to as Tuff Trucks, are a fan-favorite element of the tour. These are not your average street vehicles. They are souped-up off-road street hot rods, built to withstand incredible punishment.
- Competition Style: The Road Rippers compete in a variety of formats, including Timed-Racing and a Side-By-Side paint swapping Bracket Competition. This format often results in close finishes and spectacular roll-overs, showcasing a different kind of extreme driving than the monster trucks.
- Driver Participation: This class often features local and amateur drivers, giving a true grassroots feel to the competition and allowing everyday enthusiasts to live out their off-road dreams.
The Future of Monster Trucking: Renegade Mini-Monsters
One of the most heartwarming and unique features of the Renegade Tour is the Renegade Mini-Monsters. These are not remote-controlled toys but actual, functional monster trucks built at 1/2 and 1/3 scale of their full-sized counterparts.
- Authentic Experience: Driven by kids, these mini-monsters feature all the characteristics of the full-size trucks, including powerful engines and custom chassis.
- Family Focus: The Mini-Monsters segment highlights the tour's focus on family and the next generation of motorsports enthusiasts, providing a fun and inspirational break from the main event.
In addition to the racing action, the Pit Party is an essential part of the Renegade experience. Fans get the opportunity to walk onto the track, meet drivers like Zane and Lindsey Rettew, take photos with the massive tires of Stinger Unleashed and Pretty Wicked, and collect autographs. This access is a hallmark of the independent monster truck circuit, fostering a strong connection between the competitors and their audience.
The Renegade Monster Truck Tour in 2025 is shaping up to be a spectacular season of high-flying, car-crushing action. With a strong roster of trucks like Shredder, Toxic, and Illuminator, combined with the popular Renegade Road Rippers and Mini-Monsters, the tour delivers on its promise of an unforgettable, affordable, and family-friendly motorsports experience. Don't miss your chance to witness the raw horsepower and competitive spirit of the independent monster truck world.
