Andy Slifko has been involved with monster trucks for more than a decade, and his name is synonymous with the Eradicator truck. He began his motorsports career in drag racing, but soon moved on to a job driving the Eradicator ride truck, where he earned a ton of experience controlling the large machine. He soon moved into the race truck full-time, and through his hard work and effort he won the “Most Improved Driver” award in 2004. His son, Jeremy, was always along to chief the crew, and has now graduated to driving the other Slifko truck, Backdraft.

Appearance-wise, Eradicator shares a few similarities to it’s sister truck; the body is also black, and flames are prominent. However, instead of the traditional red and orange flames, Slikfo senior’s truck makes use of striking pink, white, and silver ones. An avid motorcycle enthusiast, Andy also made sure to include an eagle with the Harley-Davidson logo on the side panels as well.
