It took its first ever Points Series Championship in 1997 sporting the Snake Bite body. In 1998, #15 introduced the Firestone "Wilderness" body to the Points Series. With driver Eric Tack at the wheel, it made the second longest monster truck long jump ever, at 148 feet, 6 inches, and in the process became only the second monster truck to jump over a 727 jetliner, on Sept. 12, 1999.

In early 2004, Dan Runte took over the seat of #15. In 2007, Dan took the Winter Checkered Flag Championship with #15. Rick Long took over the driving duties of this truck in June of 2007.
