The N-GAGE was a Ford monster truck owned and operated by Clear Channel Entertainment (now FELD Motorsports) that competed in Antwerp, Belgium in 2004. Chad Fortune was its sole driver, and campaigned the body as one of a few interim identities between the chassis' history as Advance Auto Parts Metal Monster (a display truck) and Superman (Fortune's second major identity). The truck was sponsored by Nokia
No statistics regarding the truck's success in competition have been recorded.
History[]
Not much is known about how or why N-GAGE ran this Antwerp show. While the European market gave the monster truck world several limited-run sponsor trucks, such as Verva, BiFi, and The Mauler, N-GAGE – thus far – is the only truck to have come about as a last-minute replacement. Fortune was booked at the Antwerp show to drive Hot Wheels, which he drove for the rest of his time on the 2004 Europe tour.
In odder details, Fortune’s chassis was already equipped with several of his future truck Superman’s defining features, such as the cape’s support beam, and the truck’s yellow rims, which would be placed on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the time being, as they did not match N-Gage's design.
