The Puglisi Files – Wheeling and Pittsburgh Monster Trucks

Our own Jeremy Puglisi has taken in a lot of monster trucks lately, and his galleries from both the Wheeling and Pittsburgh Monster Jams are now online in the 2012 photos section. Pittsburgh was a wild show, as we covered in the most recent Beyond the Lens podcast, and Wheeling had its moments too, with teammates Norm Miller (Batman) and Joe Miller (Monster Mutt) combining to take 7 out of 8 event wins on the weekend. Thanks go out to Jeremy for his great photos as always; stay tuned for more monster truck coverage!

Monster Jam’s Young Guns Shootout – What’s the Deal?

When I first heard Monster Jam announcer Scott Douglass begin talking about the Young Guns Shootout in Las Vegas, I wondered just what the deal was. What trucks would be in Vegas, when would they compete…basically, I wondered what the deal was! The previews continued until the big announcement on Monster Jam’s Facebook that it would be a competition on Friday night during the Double Down event, and a couple competitors have already been announced. Congratulations are in order to Bari Musawwir (Spider-Man) and Scott Buetow (Iron Man) for making the cut. Since that leaves us with six trucks, I wanted to throw out a few names I noticed that fit Monster Jam’s criteria of two years or less with Monster Jam and are not competing in the World Finals (of course, some competitors are up in the air, so I’ve kept that in mind):
