USA-1 is a monster truck that was competing during the eighties and nineties, named after a Chevrolet ad campaign. Owned by Everett Jasmer, USA-1 stopped racing in the early 90's, after the folding of the TNT Monster Truck Racing Series. USA-1 was a consistent winner in the mid to late 80's with Steve Wilke and Rod Litzau sharing the driving, and is best known for its many wins and legendary crashes. It was one of the last nationally competitive monster trucks to use a leaf spring suspension. Everett contacted Mark Hall, coowner of Raminator, to campaign a USA-1 body in 1992 on their Executioner chassis. In the next year, Everett had Kirk Dabney campaign the body on his Nitemare 4 chassis.
