Joe Sylvester Motorsports, headed by its eponymous, 28-year-old off-roading enthusiast, has slowly but surely made its way in the thrilling world of off-road sports. But thanks to Sylvester’s latest stunt in Pennsylvania, the man, the truck, and the company have all gained a lot more attention.

Starting in 2005, Sylvester made his dream a reality by working his way around the monster truck industry. And not but one year later, the dream became reality with the formation of his own professional monster truck team.

Driving his “Bad Habit” truck, the man has made fans all over the country throughout his career. With 55 race wins, 12 final round victories, and an outstanding 62 total freestyle wins to his name, it’s safe to say that the past seven years have been more than kind.

The truck itself has the guts of a champion: a 540 c.i. Chevy engine with 871 blower, an Abruzzi Racing Turbo 400 transmission, and a horsepower rating of more than 1,400 make it able to reach speeds of over 80mph. And it certainly has its looks down to a “T” with a House of Kolor paint job, powdercoated undercarriage, and KMC’s Rock Star Wheels.

The truck, combined with Sylvester’s extreme perseverance and determination, make for an awesome and entertaining combination: “I don’t feel like I’m living if, every single day, I’m not doing something to where I’m pushing my limits.” Following that spirit, man and machine returned to the Cornfield 500 in Columbus, Pennsylvania, to break his previous jump record of 208 feet set in 2010.

Needless to say, the truck made the jump and smashed the record, setting down at 237.5 feet with a bit of front-end damage. It’s a small price to pay for an entry in the record books.

Though Sylvester will now have to nurse his truck back to health with a new cross bar and some other components, he’s not sweating the damage. It’s to be expected that something would break from a jump of that length.

Both man and machine will be back in due time to astound and amaze the masses. We wish them luck with whatever stunt they cook up next.
