We are proud to announce our partnership with Kevin and Jennifer King’s Strait Jacket Monster Truck.

Be sure to check out the great new look courtesy of Dustin Hart, and be on the lookout for an update to the site from master updater Ed Hoormann as well.
For the first time in 13 years, Bigfoot and Dan Runte returned to the Oceanfront of Virginia Beach to battle it out for the King of the Beach title given to the best overall finisher of the four show weekend. Runte had to face tough competition from local hero Steve Sims and the Stone Crusher along with 7 other trucks. With the first ever George Carpenter Cup on the line, it was an all out battle over the course of three days and four events that left many trucks battered, but Runte and Bigfoot came out on top over Sims and Stone Crusher in a fierce dogfight.

Another great weekend of events went down at the Springfield Jamboree in Springfield, Missouri, with AllMonster.com’s own Ed Hoormann (photos in this update) and Chris Kaelin on hand to cover it. 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.

Lee O’Donnell is an accomplished off-road racer who is known for being able to drive almost anything with an engine, specializing in short-course off-road racing, and now monster trucks. O’Donnell made his debut in 2001, took a break to go back to off-road racing, then returned as a “super sub” of sorts, winning a big race in Atlanta filling in for Linsey Weenk in Blue Thunder. After several successful fill-in roles, Lee was back to driving monster trucks. He is also known for his colorful personality and open, honest, and humorous interviews. After bouncing around to several teams in the industry to begin his career, Lee has settled into the role of the main driver for the Iron Man truck. Josh Rhodes and Ed Hoormann caught up with Lee in St. Louis, Missouri before the show to get his thoughts on a wide variety of subjects, including the Monster Jam World Finals. We thank Lee and Brenda O’Donnell for their time. [Read More …]

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!
