Dan Dahlgren has been a monster truck fan his entire life, and his journey with 2X Monster Trucks began long before he ever stepped into a driver’s seat. He followed the 2X Tour from city to city, pitching in wherever he could: fueling trucks, loading trailers, and learning the inner workings of the operation from the ground up.


His dedication led to his first big opportunity: driving the Redneck Road Trip ride truck and giving fans a close look at the monster truck world he loved. Still, Dan wanted more. After years of hard work and persistence, he finally made his competitive debut in his hometown of East Moline, driving a full-size race truck for the first time.


That debut changed everything. Dan soon stepped into the shark bite monster truck, proving he had the skill and grit to become a full-time driver. Since then, he’s established himself as a fierce competitor and a rising force within the 2X lineup, every run behind the shark bite monster truck pushing him further into the spotlight.
