CHECKERED FLAG POINTS UPDATE

Creten and Meents Take St. Louis Monster Jam!

The Monster Jam tour returned to St. Louis, Missouri and the Edward Jones Dome for a night of monster truck action. Our own Josh Rhodes was there to cover the action of the star studded field. The racing finals came down to Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter and Tony Farrell behind the wheel of Blue Thunder. Creten had already beaten Blue Thunder once before but Farrell fought back and beat Tom Meents and Maximum Destruction after getting the fast loser but Creten would take the Racing win. Freestyle included many highlights like the team CSK trucks both rolling in their freestyle runs, Tony Farrell getting some huge air off of the car stack and Tom Meents pulling out what may be a contender for save of the year.

Indy Results!

Once again Tom Meents threw down in the RCA Dome and put on quite a show to sweep the event. The night had some very close races and the finals came down to Carl VanHorn in T-Maxx and Tom Meents in Maximum Destruction. Meents would take the win after Van Horn nearly rolled in a turn. After beating T-Maxx in the finals Meents went on to put on a great freestyle with plenty of huge air to score a 30 and did an encore which featured more of the same big air and even a slap wheelie out of Maximum Destruction. The freestyle was hard on the trucks as five trucks rolled over. Most notably was Jim Koehler in Avenger after getting huge air upon the landing both rear wheels broke off the axle causing a lot of damage. In all it was Carnage filled night and we thank Mike Alston for providing lots of great results.
