Snapshot: About Monster Jam Events:

  • At Monster Jam, monster trucks face off in two different forms of competition -- side-by-side racing and freestyle:

    • Side-by-side racing – traditional bracket racing, where the first truck, with the least amount of penalties, crosses the finish line is declared the winner.

    • Freestyle competition – allows drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their skills. In this category, the fans serve as the judges.

  • 2007 was the 25 year anniversary for the Grave Digger Team

  • More than 4 million Monster Jam fans attend events each year worldwide

  • The World Finals in Las Vegas, NV brings 24 of the top trucks in the world to compete for the World Freestyle and Racing Championships.  Competitors are by invitation only.

  • A monster truck race team will travel 45,000 Miles / 72,400 kilometers a year by land to attend events.

  • Typical monster trucks cost $600,000 yearly to build, staff, compete, transport and maintain on the Monster Jam tour.

  • Steel body full-size cars are the vehicles typically crushed during a monster truck event.

o      Cars, as well as vans, buses, motor homes, airplanes and ambulances, are attained from local junkyards and returned after each event.
