Also, Route 66 Raceway's monster truck show is all set for this weekend, and AllMonster will be covering the event. A "new" truck will debut at the show as the eighth truck (permission was not given for truck and driver name at this time) in a field that includes Raminator, Rammunition, Sudden Impact, T-Maxx, Eradicator, Airborne Ranger, and Stars and Stripes (Equalizer chassis, coloring contest body).

July 13, 2005- 1:30 AM by Dustin HartCATCHING UP ON SUMMER
AllMonster.com's reporters have been busy attending a variety of shows, including Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, West Lebanon, New York, Owego, New York, and Toledo, Ohio, among others. Photos will be online soon. Here is the rundown on West Lebanon's first two nights:
Monday evening saw Dennis Anderson sweep racing (beating Maximum Destruction in the final) and freestyle, including an awkward rollover at the end of his run. Paul Cohen also rolled in Pastrana 199, and Charlie Pauken debuted the Tazmanian Devil truck as well. Tuesday has just been completed and Tom Meents' Maximum Destruction took the racing and freestyle sweep, including one of the closest races in track history on the extremely wet and slippery track. Officials reviewed the tape of the finish between Meents and Anderson for a long time before declaring Meents the winner.
It was a busy week for Charlie Pauken, as he had just finished driving Grave Digger XIV in Toledo, Ohio. Pauken won every competition on the weekend but Friday's racing, which went to Jimmy Creten's Bounty Hunter. Pauken raced on a broken ring and pinion after round 1 on the Chicago-style cement course.
In Owego on Sunday, Randy Brown caught some serious air during freestyle after taking a final-round loss to Gun Slinger, then ended up rolling during a donut. Photos from Bloomsburg, Joliet, Owego, Toledo, and more will be online very soon. We thank all of our reporters and helpers for their continued support!

STAFFORD SPRINGS-THE DRIVER SHUFFLE
**EDIT-Results from Stafford indicate that Hot Wheels was driven by Rob Knell, who was able to make the event after it was previously thought he would not attend.**
It will be a wild weekend in Stafford Springs, Connecticut this weekend when Monster Jam comes to town. Grave Digger (Dennis Anderson) and Maximum Destruction (Tom Meents) will be present, but some old faces will be there with new rides for the Stafford show only.
Chad Tingler will be driving Meents' Hot Wheels at the event, and Carl VanHorn will jump behind the wheel of Blue Thunder subbing for Tony Farrell. Add Charlie Pauken to the mix in the Taz truck, and Stafford Springs will be an unusual show. Eradicator, Thrasher, and Destroyer will also be on hand. For the first time in years, team Grave Digger will have three of its current drivers face each other in competition. For more information on the shows, click here.
