Famous Farmtruck Boat Goes Viral After Illinois Boat Race

Is this what they call a redneck genius?

I saw this video on Tik Tok the other day and I guess my brain just truly didn't even comprehend how this could be anywhere in Illinois. Turns out I was wrong. When I saw this video I saw a ton of comments about Oklahoma and I was like oh yeah this is totally something straight out of the south. And that's not exactly wrong.

The farm, truck, boat, um ... thing? Is from Oklahoma and is actually a famous truck that's on Discovery's "Street Outlaws". How this thing made its way to a boat race in Antioch, IL. I really don't know. But all that matters is that it did. And then it went viral on Tik Tok.

I laughed at this video for so long. But let's not stop there. Let's watch more.

Definitely the most unique and exciting part of the boat race that night at Blarney Island in Antioch IL. Oh, and obviously the farmtruck boat won the race. I mean come on, did you see how fast that thing was going?

If you're like me, I'm sure you're curious and want a closer look at this thing. Check it out -

I've seen some cool boats before, but I'm pretty sure everyone can agree this thing takes the cake. You can follow the journey of the farmboat on their Instagram page.

I think I'm going to have to put a boat race on my summer bucket list. You never know what you might see!
