Dan Dahlgren has been a lifelong monster truck fan whose journey with 2X Monster Trucks started long before he ever got behind the wheel. He began by following the 2X Tour from city to city, helping out in any way he could — fueling trucks, loading trailers, and learning every detail of the operation.

His dedication paid off when he earned the opportunity to drive the Redneck Road Trip ride truck, bringing fans up close to the monster truck experience he’d always loved. But Dan’s ultimate dream was still waiting — and after years of patience, hard work, and persistence, he finally made his competitive debut in his hometown of East Moline, climbing into the seat of a full-blown race truck.

From that moment on, the game was on. Dan quickly became a full-time driver behind the wheel of Shark Bite, proving himself as a fierce competitor and a true force to be reckoned with in the 2X lineup.
