Rick Steffens is the driver of the all-new Hot Wheels Mega Wrex™, and is part of the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live domestic tour. He’s come from his childhood days of playing with Hot Wheels as a boy to driving one. Rick was a crew member for Dan Patrick who owns the Samson Monster Truck. He met Dan’s daughter Allison and they married in 2016. She now crews for him and it’s a family affair. They travel together racing their Monster Truck with their daughter and son during the summer months. Not only does Rick drive monster trucks, but he also enjoys working on them. His shop build shocks, rear end housings, four-link bars, everything from A to Z comes out of his shop for his truck and others. His teammate and past Cars Yeah guest Rebecca Schnell is the driver of Hot Wheels Monster Truck Bigfoot Midwest Madness.
