The show initially began in 1989 as a vehicle forTNT Motorsports events, complimenting theirESPN showPowertrax and syndicated showTuff Trax , and would typically alternate between truck and tractor pulls and monster trucks, with National Mud Racing Organization mud races intermittently. After TNT was bought out by theUnited States Hot Rod Association in 1991, the show began primarily airing the Pendaliner Monster Truck Series and NMRO mud races held atSpecial Events '4-Wheel and Off-Road Jamboree s. A frequent feature of these shows was a highlight segment of "Tough Truck" amateur off-road races near the end of the monster truck episodes. At the end of the 1996 season, the Pendaliner cancelled their sponsorship of the monster truck series, causing the show to be subsequently cancelled.
