Dennis started out as a mud bogger with his original truck in 1982.

The truck was later rebuilt with larger wheels and using a 1951 Ford panel truck painted in silver and blue. At one local show, a scheduled monster truck failed to appear and Anderson, who already had large tractor tires on the truck, offered to crush cars in the absence of the full-size monster truck. The success of the event led Anderson to pursue monster trucks as a career.

In 1986, Grave Digger was further modified and first received its distinctive black graveyard paint scheme. In 1987 and 1988 Anderson drove the truck primarily at TNT Motor sports races. In 1988 Anderson beat Bigfoot in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on a show taped for ESPN.

He was host of the program Around the World in 80 Days on The History Channel.

Dennis Anderson (born October 24, 1960) is an American former professional monster truck driver. He is the creator, team owner, and former driver of “Grave Digger” on the USHRA Monster Jam circuit. Anderson is from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, where he currently resides.

When TNT became a part of the USHRA in 1991, Anderson began running on the USHRA tour and debuted his first four-link suspension truck, Grave Digger 3.

In 1992, after Dennis Anderson was injured, he decided to build a better truck with a similar short wheelbase and a new tube frame, therefore Grave Digger 7 was constructed (numbers 4 and 5 having been franchised to other drivers and number 6 being a street-legal display truck). He drove that truck from 1992 until 1996, and was a regular on the USHRA syndicated series “Monster Wars”. In 1997 he built and debuted Grave Digger 12, which would be inherited by former Carolina Crusher driver Gary Porter in early 2001.

Height, Weight & Body Measurements

Anderson moved to a newly built Grave Digger 2 in 1989, made with a 1950 Chevrolet panel van body. TNT began promoting Grave Digger heavily, especially for races on the Tuff Trax syndicated television series and ESPN’s Powertrax. This was helped by Bigfoot running a limited schedule in the 1989 championship as Bigfoot 8 was deemed too advanced for the field. During the same year, construction of Grave Digger 3 had begun. While Dennis drove Grave Digger 2, his brother Leslie drove Grave Digger 1.

Back in his early mud bogging days, he was known for running full throttle, flinging mud everywhere. He would either make a mess going through, or break the truck from heavy strain during most events. Coincidentally and fitting enough, his most recent work has brought Anderson ‘full circle’ – back to the mud – a custom built monster mud truck called King Sling. The truck, a 1941 Willys truck with custom-cut tractor tires and modern chassis and suspension components, carries twice the horsepower at half the weight of his monster truck Grave Digger. The truck is a favorite exhibition vehicle at mud bogs as it is a combination of monster mud vehicle with the monster mud driver.

Anderson won the inaugural Monster Jam World Finals freestyle championship in 2000, and scored a racing championship win at the 2004 World Finals.
