I had a unique opportunity to drive a tough truck for the Monster Jam event, though – what we did is we took a street-legal truck out on the Monster Jam track and kind of did like a halftime show for them, and did it two years in a row, the second time I ended up getting second place and I was like milliseconds behind the first-place guy, and I had some of the Monster Jam drivers come up to me and tell me that I did a really phenomenal job, and they all asked me if I’d want to consider driving Monster Jam trucks? I was just thinking, like “Wow, they’re just saying that, nothing’s ever gonna come from it,” but I ended up sending my resume to them and that got the ball rolling, so I ended up testing for them, I went to Monster Jam University for training, and then I got my spot in Scooby-Doo.Are you hoping to find the perfect gift for your toddlers? Hot Wheels Monster Jam vehicles can make the greatest toys. I was a huge fan of Monster Jam growing up, and I used to go to the show in my hometown (El Paso, Texas) all the time, and I saw drivers like Candice Jolly in the Monster Mutt Dalmatian go through, and I saw Nicole Johnson in the Scooby-Doo truck, and they really just inspired me to go out there and try to live my dream, even though I’m a female in such a male-dominated sport. How did you get your start in Monster Jam? I watch it all the time with my daughter, she’s hooked on that show right now, so it’s really cool that I get to share that experience with her as well. Hmm…Scooby-Doo himself is probably my favorite. It really is! Do you have a favorite character, just personally? The best thing Monster Jam did with that truck is that they made it look just like the character – I always tell people that it’s so cute because I have the ears and the tail that waves around as I go around the track – it’s just a really, really fun character, not just for kids, but also for adults, too. Linsey Read – I love being able to represent Scooby-Doo! I think it’s a really cool truck because everybody knows who Scooby-Doo is, whether you’re a little kid or you’re 50 years old, EVERYBODY at some point has watched Scooby-Doo and they know it.

While Monster Jam usually has the Stadium Series Red, Yellow and Green, Arena Challenges 1-4 and an international series, for 20 they’ve had to pare back the schedule to a single Stadium Championship Series, though more tours are tentatively scheduled for later this year. When not wheeling a colossal vehicle around the track, Read can often be found wrangling the joyful chaos that comes from a household of pets, or going on adventures with her daughter, stepdaughters and sprint car racer husband. Read has been driving the Scooby-Doo truck since 2016 after she made a splash while racing in a pre-show warm-up event at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.

This has made the Great Dane-sized vehicle a fan favorite, because as driver Linsey Read pointed out in a phone interview with Dog O’Day earlier this month, everyone has seen one of the Scooby-Doo shows or movies at some point, creating an instant rapport.
