Matt Mingay

Matt Mingay (born 20 March 1977) is an Australian stunt performer and racing driver. A veteran of the Stadium Super Trucks since 2015, he competes in the series' Australian counterpart Boost Mobile Super Trucks. In 2016, he suffered serious injuries during a Stadium Super Truck race at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, forcing him out of racing until 2020.
Career.
Mingay has worked as a stunt performer since 1998, including being Tom Cruise's stunt double in "" and appearing in Bollywood productions.
In 2015, Mingay began racing in the Stadium Super Trucks starting at the Adelaide 500 weekend. He finished on the podium in his maiden start, and battled with E. J. Viso for the win in the third race before spinning. At the Gold Coast 600 weekend at Surfers Paradise Street Circuit, Mingay scored his first SST victory. He won again in an exhibition at the Sydney 500.
He returned to SST the following year for the opening weekend at Adelaide, but struggled throughout the three races: in the first race, he suffered a flat tire and finished eleventh; in the second race, his truck erratically jumped off a ramp and barrel rolled five times, leading to a last-place finish; in the final event, he started the race from the pole position, but was spun by Toby Price, resulting in an eighth-place finish. At the second race in Detroit, Mingay's truck flipped on lap three in a wreck that Mingay said caused him to "[die] on the spot". The crash suspended the race and left him in critical but stable condition; he was taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital for facial injuries. He was placed under a coma for five days and underwent jaw and brain surgeries. He returned to Australia after he recovered, but lost three weeks' worth of memories. In Mingay's place, Robby Gordon drove the No. 2 Hot Wheels truck at the Townsville Street Circuit.
Mingay returned to stunt driving in February 2017, participating in events for the Clipsal 500 at Adelaide. He also attempted to run the weekend's SST races, but the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport's (CAMS) National Medical Advisory Committee requested more medical information that he could not provide in time.
In 2020, Mingay made his return to SST at Adelaide.
