the green & black destruction machine

taking the sport by storm since 2010

where it started

Toxic started life as a turn-key racing machine designed and built by the expert team at Patrick Enterprises, Inc. in 2010. It then hit the circuit under the operation of Petri Motorsports from Sardinia, NY with Travis Petri at the wheel. Competing throughout the northeast United States and Canada, it quickly became apparent that Toxic was not to be overlooked.

Featuring a massive supercharged big block engine producing well over 1,400 horsepower and a detailed fiberglass body depicting a scene run rampant by toxic waste, the new player in the scene quickly became the top dog.

In 2015, Gilbert Motorsports of Fairfax, VA acquired the Toxic operation to introduce fans across the east coast to this stellar piece of mechanical engineering, with Kris Gilbert taking control. Under the operation of Gilbert Motorsports, the Toxic name continued to grow in the sport and reach new heights.

In 2018, Warped Motor Sports of Gaithersburg, MD acquired Team Toxic. Headed up by industry veteran Jay Snyder and represented on the track by second generation rising star Cory Snyder, the father-son operation took Toxic to new heights. Including first appearances in the sport’s flagship series Monster Jam and a slew of upgrades, Toxic continued to impress and make appearances in the winner’s circle.

In 2020, in light of the uncertain times in the world, The Snyders introduced a new chapter to the Toxic legacy. With the help of the team at The Metal Shop, Toxic 2.0 debuted. Featuring state-of-the-art designs and data logging capabilities, Toxic 2.0 bursted onto the scene in big fashion.

Though Toxic 2.0 spends most of its time campaigning the Illuminator body, the original Toxic still runs all over the United States with Preston Perez operating. Depsite over a decade of run time between its four 66″ tall tires, Perez still puts Toxic at the top of the results and continues to get fans on their feet with every event.
