World Finals Results!

The World Finals in Las Vegas took place this past weekend at Sam Boyd Stadium crowning two new Monster Jam champions and our own Andrew Ellingwood was on hand to catch all the action. The racing competition saw exciting moments like Randy Brown’s first round rollover in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to the early round upsets of Maximum Destruction and Bounty Hunter. In the end the finals came down to John Seasock behind the wheel of Batman and Dennis Anderson returning to the finals for the third straight year in Grave Digger with Seasock pulling off the win by over a truck length! Freestyle was full of carnage with hard rollovers from King Krunch, Monster Mutt, Avenger, Grave Digger and Pastrana 199 along with many mechanical failures causing disapointing scores for former freestyle champions Jimmy Creten and Tom Meents. Pablo Huffaker stole the show in freestyle with a great run earning a 34 to win the freestyle championship!
