The team behind Bad Habit, billed as the "world's first Jeep Gladiator Monster Truck," took to the track at the Summit MotorSports Park in Huron County during the 45th annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire event.

The previous record, 100.31 mph, was set by driver Bryce Kenny at Great Clips Mohawk Warrior in Bradenton, Fla., in 2020. "We always just want to try to keep pushing the limits of the vehicle and of the sport, and keep on giving people a good show," Sylvester told WKBN-TV. "That's what we do, we're in the business of entertainment -- people pay us to come see us put on a show with these trucks, and every time we get out on the track, we just try to keep upping our performances," Sylvester said.
