Corporal Calamity

Corporal Calamity was a driver of PBS Kids. In reality, he was Daniel Marcus Jones.

History
Calamity was located by PBS Kids stars Digit and Mr. McFeely in a national search for new recruits in PBS Kids' racing team, to help kids learn about the power and compassion that goes into monster truck racing and other motorsports. Calamity hailed from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland and piloted the team's second truck after Sun Xiao left it for the Sagwa monster truck, also on the PBS Kids Racing team. During his debut show in Grambling, Louisiana, he had a near-rollover and wild save heading down the hill into Eddie Robinson Stadium, and managed to win wheelies with a wild performance hailed by the judges and the sold-out crowd.

In 2006, Corporal left Monster Jam after the PBS Kids truck was retired, and in 2009, ex-Clear Channel fill-in driver Daniel Marcus Jones outed himself as Corporal Calamity.
