Team Scream Update

We checked in with Steve Koehler of Team Scream and he was kind enough to catch us up on what Avenger, Brutus, Spike, and Wrecking Crew have been up to.

“It’s been really busy getting our two new trucks dialed in, but we’re getting the hang of it,” he said. “I’m looking forward to Joliet, and we are working on a surprise for the fans there!”

Steve also let us know that the brand new web site for the team is now online, and it looks fantastic! Check it out at Avengerracing.com!

AllMonster will be out in full force for Joliet, and we hope to update more in the meantime! Thanks for visiting AllMonster.com!

more videos in the future and we can’t thank Kyle enough for all of his
hard work!

Today AllMonster is giving you two for the price of one!

Robert Haught also had a chance to sit down with Anger Management’s Aaron Cromer and see how his rookie year went and what his goals are for the future. Enjoy both Profiles, and thank you for visiting AllMonster.com!
