Lucas Oil Crusader
monster truck, 2011–2020
Lucas Oil Crusader (or simply known as Crusader) was a monster truck that raced in the Monster Jam professional monster truck racing series. It was driven by Linsey Weenk, former Blue Thunder driver, who debuted in 2011 in Houston, Texas. It featured one of the first trucks to change its roof artwork, which is the medieval knight decal and the truck's logo, and then after a while, it was replaced with the Lucas Oil logo. It also had the Lucas Oil flags at the back of the truck. It was sponsored by Lucas Oil since its debut in Houston, Texas, 2011. The truck was supposedly retired on July 28, 2019, but returned in 2020 to compete in Stadium Championship Series Red.
History
In 2011, the truck debuted at Houston, Texas, and the truck was driven by Linsey Weenk, who had previously driven Blue Thunder and Iron Outlaw from previous years. However, the truck made its first Monster Jam World Finals appearance with Weenk still behind-the-wheel. He defeated Nitro Circus in Round 2, El Toro Loco in Round 3, but lost to Maximum Destruction in the semi-finals in Racing. He got a 27 in freestyle which tied with El Toro Loco.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lucas Oil Crusader” as monster truck, 2011–2020. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as monster truck, 2011–2020. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55640933. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2019 and 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
