Mat Dishman continued his rapid rise through the monster truck ranks, finishing with two more racing victories for a weekend sweep. Outback Thunda was also in attendance in a special appearance. With no racing on the last event of the weekend, all the drivers let it hang out, with Bigfoot drivers Dan Runte (Bigfoot 18) and Darron Schnell (Vicor Bigfoot “Bessie”) enjoying highlight runs on Sunday.
