“The support we’ve gotten recently is tremendous,” owner/driver Zane Rettew said. “I am more excited to be behind the wheel now than ever, and with companies like Pristine Auto, Exhaust Pros, Clutch and Driveshaft, Alliance Equipment, CPS Graphix, and ProThings, it makes life that much easier on us to run the way we want.”

Bring home another Wheelie win!

Zane and the Stinger team rebounded from a tough past couple of weeks, taking a nice wheelie victory after putting the truck straight on its tail.  ”We love performing for all the great Stinger fans, and we’ve got some new things up our sleeves in the works as well,” said Zane. Next, Stinger will be in Beaumont, Texas for some more mayhem! We will have all the updates here.

A Special Letter for Stinger

We got the opportunity to watch you perform in Bossier City last weekend and extremely enjoyed it!! But what impressed me most is how amazing you are with your fans!! At the end of the show you came back out to pass out parts of your truck and my 5 year old son was blessed to get one from you. He was on cloud 9!! After the show they had autographs and my son asked could we get you to sign his piece of stinger, by the time we made it up there the line was long….so, I asked a security guard if she would ask you to sign it for him and you happened to be right behind her and you signed the piece and took a photo with him. When we got in our vehicle to head home my son told me that he almost started crying because that was the best day of his life!!
When he went to school the following Monday, we had to take the part to show is classmates but they were not allowed to touch it and Mom had to bring it back home with her. LOL LOL
The part is now in our living room so that he can keep an eye on it! I have also attatched some photos of Carter Swade Busbee and his proud part of Stinger. You and your truck is the only truck he wanted a picture with his family. There is one right after you gave him the part and the other 2 are when you signed it.
Once again, I would like to say thanks for what you did that evening!! I have one extremely happy 5 year old!!!!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!
Beth and her happy 5 year old, Carte.

Bossier City



Bossier City, rolling the truck over backwards during the wheelie contest. Some weekends, you just have to tough it out and fight through adversity, and that’s what Zane did with Stinger. Zane and the team will be looking forward to Indiana, Pennsylvania after beefing up some components of the truck. Stay tuned for more.

Wild Weekend in Southhaven, Ms

Zane and the Stinger crew rolled into Southhaven, Mississippi  for the first stop in the Toughest Monster Truck Tour. Friday night saw Stinger take a big wheelie win, with two past-vertical wheelstands. Stinger came out strong  freestyle, by laying down a great run that was cut short due to the first rollover the truck has ever had. This earned Zane and team the Toughest Monster Truck overall win for the night.  After help from Concussion Motorsports and the guys at Allmonster.com (Ed Hoormann and Chris Kaelin), everything was back in one piece for night two. Stinger’s next stop is Bossier City, Louisiana. Hope to see you there!”

Daytona Beach Success for Stinger!

After the first night of action, Zane and Team Stinger had a wheelie contest win, but that wasn’t enough for the hard-charging young driver. Rettew had more of the same in store for Daytona Beach on Saturday evening, taking another wheelie contest victory, then capping it off with a tremendous save in freestyle that broke a lot of parts, but left the fans happy.

stinger monster truck“We originally thought we completely blew the engine in addition to all the other damage, but it turns out it was a valve and rocker arm bent,” said Rettew. “It was still an expensive weekend with the rear housing swap and all, but I’m happy to have a win. We don’t like to just motor the truck around, we’re going all-out!”

The gauntlet has been laid down for 2012, and it’s only the first week of the season! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and check the site for more updates regularly.
