History[edit]

After attending a show in the Kingdome in 1995, Creten bought the 'Shark Attack' monster truck and renamed it Bounty Hunter without knowing a truck with the same name, owned by Brian Bellini, already existed. After several years with the truck, he added a second truck named '2Xtreme', which would be driven by his wife, Dawn. While Bounty Hunter had a Chevy S-10 body on a custom chassis, 2Xtreme was a Dodge Dakota on a Dan Patrick built chassis.

Through a series of displays for the company, CSK became an official sponsor of the team in 2000. It was then that 2Xtreme was renamed Scarlet Bandit. The sponsorship lead to a significant increase in performance for the team, and they began to be shown on the Monster Jam television show, notably with a final-round appearance by Jimmy in Bounty Hunter against Tom Meents in the Pontiac Silverdome.

For the 2002 season, both trucks were rebodied to Ford Expeditions, and were given new paint schemes with comic book character mascots. This was also the first year in which Bounty Hunter was invited to the World Finals, and was runner up in the racing segment. He also had runner-up finishes in the 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2011 events.

For 2005, the new 'Iron Outlaw' identity, driven by former Jurassic Attack driver Linsey Weenk, was added to the team as a replacement body for when Dawn could not attend events. This new look saw only limited action that season, but went full-time in 2006 when Dawn was expecting a child. After an unprecedented 7 event winning streak, the truck became a permanent team member. Also in 2005, Jimmy Creten won the World Freestyle Championship in Las Vegas, bolstering the team's reputation for freestyle as well as racing.

In 2007, all three trucks competed on the circuit and all earned a slot at the World Finals. In July, Weenk announced he was moving to the Blue Thunder truck at the end of the season. On October 23, former Dragon Slayer driver Kreg Christensen was named as the replacement.^[1]

During the prerace for the Samsung 500 NASCAR race at Texas in 2008, NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer and FOX analyst Jeff Hammond drove the Bounty Hunter truck (which was actually the Scarlet Bandit truck with a different body) for a feature segment of the show.

In 2010, at World Finals 11, Dawn Creten and Scarlet Bandit competed in the 10 truck freestyle encore.

In 2011, at World Finals 12, Creten lost to Tom Meents in Maximum Destruction in the final racing round, by about a truck length.

Also, in 2011, the team took a hard hit, when Iron Outlaw driver Nick Owens died on August 13. His death was confirmed as a drowning. He was 30 years old and had just finished his rookie year and got rookie of the year in the seat of Iron Outlaw.

In 2012, at World Finals 13, Creten brought a special half blue and half transparent paint scheme. This was the first time Jimmy Creten changes the paint job for Bounty Hunter, which has since become a tradition at every World Finals to date, similar to Avenger, as well as completing his first backflip at the same show.

In 2013, at World Finals 14, Creten brought a special grey paint scheme. This version did not compete in freestyle due to a blown engine in Racing.

In 2015, Bounty Hunter celebrated its 20th Anniversary. Creten brought a special half blue and half yellow paint scheme in the World Finals.

In 2016, at World Finals 17, Creten brought a special paint scheme, to pay homage to Chris Kyle. This paint scheme ran for the rest of the year.

In 2017, Scarlet Bandit and Bounty Hunter debuted a new paint scheme.

In 2018, Austin Minton brought a second Bounty Hunter. He and the truck competed in the Double Down Showdown. Creten also debuted a new Ramer chassis in the same year.

In 2019, Creten won the World Finals Racing Championship at World Finals 20 in Orlando, Florida. It's teammate truck, Scarlet Bandit, debuted a new paint scheme in the pit party at the same show.

When your job is being the crew chief of a U.S. Army Apache attack helicopter carrying Hellfire missiles, you’d better be on your game.

If your second career is a monster truck driver, well, the Apache likely taught you a great deal about preparation and execution.

Tony Ochs can speak to that.

Ochs, 30, is a combat veteran, serving 10 years in the military in South Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. As a crew chief, he played a vital role in providing ground soldiers and special forces groups with superior air support fire power.

Following an honorable discharge from the army, Ochs landed a job with Feld Entertainment, which promotes events such as Monster Jam, Energy Supercross, AMSOIL Arenacross and Marvel Universe Live, an action-packed arena extravaganza featuring super heroes, aerial motorcycle stunts and martial arts.

“I was crewing on the motorcycles,” Ochs said. “One of the Feld executives asked me what I wanted to do in the future. I said, ‘Drive a monster truck.’ He replied that that wasn’t farfetched at all.”

On Saturday night at Ford Field, Ochs will be doing just that, as Monster Jam rolls into the Motor City.

As it happens, Ochs will be at the wheel of Soldier Fortune Black Ops. The 1,500-horsepower camouflaged, tank-inspired monster truck is making its Detroit debut and paying tribute to the armed forces.

“I’m racing this truck for all the military boys and girls,” said Ochs, who was born in Oil City, Pa., and raised in Crown, Pa. “I’m absolutely so fortunate to be picked to drive this truck.”

As a youngster, Ochs spent his spare time competing in local demolition derbies and riding dirt bikes, he recalled.

“In the army, we’d ride bulls when we got a chance,” said Ochs, who finished tied for third at Monster Jam last weekend in Houston. “I mean, real bulls.”

Ochs’ military training, he said, will serve him well at Ford Field as he battles the likes of Grave Digger, Dragon, Alien Invasion, Scarlet Bandit and a bunch of other monster trucks.

“In the military, the key under stress is to keep your wits about you and stay calm,” Ochs said. “The training and hands-on experience you get is invaluable in life after active duty. Preparation was pivotal to a good, safe mission. We prepare in much the same way in monster trucks. Safety for driver, crew and the fans is paramount.”

A monster truck is a formidable brute, capable of jumps, spins, flips and rollovers.

The Apache?

“I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of it, just leave it at that,” Ochs said. “It’s an awesome machine.”
