In fact, Tom is the only driver ever to win both titles in the same year, and he even managed to do that twice in a row! The Max-D fan base has grown so much in recent years that three Max-D Monster Jam trucks are now also touring. But Meents isn’t just the master of speed he’s quite the daredevil as well, claiming five Monster Jam World Freestyle Championships over his career. In fact, driver Tom Meents has been crowned Monster Jam World Racing Champion no less than six times, the most recent coming at the 2012 Monster Jam World Finals®. Perhaps the most striking Monster Jam® truck on the Monster Jam circuit, the body of Max-DSM is officially classified as a “futuristic SUV.” Featuring an orange and silver paint job coupled with a low-to-the-ground, aerodynamic body style, it’s well-known that Max-D is possibly the fastest machine in the sport. The Grave Digger team that competes at Monster Jam includes Adam Anderson, Carl Van Horn, Charlie Pauken, Jon Zimmer, Pablo Huffaker, Randy Brown, Morgan Kane and Cole Venard in addition to Anderson. Grave Digger is one of the most decorated Monster Jam® trucks in the world and Anderson has won four Monster Jam World Finals® championships, capturing the racing title in 20, and the freestyle title in 20. No longer do the trademark red headlights come off of old school buses, and the paint job has changed from a dull orange to the famous green and black flame motif we see today. Originally built out of an old 1957 Chevy Panel Wagon and parts that he scrounged from junkyards, Grave Digger as of today has grown by leaps and bounds. Though its logo is lettered in flames, one look will convey all the audience needs to know – Dragon.ĭennis Anderson came up with the concept for Grave Digger® back in 1981. Dragon sports custom bolt-on pieces on a distinct green body. Its path is one of destruction, and those who see its scaly hide can stutter only one word in hushed gasps ― “Dragon!” With spikes jutting through its skin, long horns curling back atop its skull and angled fins slicing the air as it glides across quaking dirt, there’s no denying this mythic creature is here to coil around the ultimate Monster Jam® victory. Not only was Captain’s Curse brand new at Monster Jam World Finals, but it also was crowned the 2007 Monster Jam World Finals Freestyle Champion – in its debut appearance!Ĭlawing its way from the darkest ruins, from a time of myth and legend, a fearsome beast beckons forth and leaves scorched soil and embers in its wake.
Then in 2007, when he took over driving privileges for Captain’s Curse, he made the Monster Jam truck a star.
It wasn’t until 2005 that he actually started competing in Monster Jam. Blackwell has always been involved in some aspect of motor sports. The lucky mate behind the wheel of Captain’s Curse® was Alex Blackwell. In 2007, a Monster Jam® truck traveled across the seven seas, and docked in Las Vegas to make its debut at the Monster Jam World Finals®. Here are the roaring beasts competing this year. Eight – that’s right, eight – Monster trucks are roaring and readon they to pulverize anything that’s on their path.
Monster Jam returns to Manila to bring an even wilder show than last year.
