Read has been driving the Scooby-Doo truck since 2016 after she made a splash while racing in a pre-show warm-up event at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. This has made the Great Dane-sized vehicle a fan favorite, because as driver Linsey Read pointed out in a phone interview with Dog O’Day earlier this month, everyone has seen one of the Scooby-Doo shows or movies at some point, creating an instant rapport. While the Scooby-Doo truck isn’t alone in familiar cartoon and comics characters that have appeared in Monster Jam over the years – a brief listing of others includes Batman, Iron Man, the Tasmanian Devil, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Wonder Woman – it is certainly one of the most recognizable out on the track, as it comes complete with large ears, an outstretched slobbery tongue, big fuzzy tail and familiar teal collar.
