General Tire to Sponsor 2009 Monster Truck Thunder Drags!!: (Indianapolis, IN) General Tire has agreed to sponsor the Monster Truck Thunder Drags coming to six 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals venues across America in 2009 as well as the Truck & Jeep Fest in Canfield, Ohio. The General Tire Monster Truck Thunder Drags features straight-line side-by-side drag racing and axle-wrenching "freestyle" competition among the top touring monster trucks. These shows are included in the admission price of full weekends devoted to lovers of the 4-Wheel Drive lifestyle. General Tire becomes an official sponsor of these weekend spectaculars, creating great value for families with all-day, low-priced entertainment.
"General Tire is proud to be an official sponsor of the
4 Wheel Jamboree Nationals Series and the General Tire Monster Truck
Thunder Drags Competition. These events draw fans that are serious about
their trucks and are the perfect venue to showcase the General Tire
Grabber line of light truck and SUV tires," said Travis Roffler, General
Tire's director of marketing. "The new General Grabber HTS tire was built
on the same technology that goes into the Grabber off-road competition
tires. These tires were specifically engineered to provide an ideal blend
of comfort, durability, and performance for the light truck market and we
are excited to reinforce General Tire's commitment to light truck and SUV
enthusiasts, on-road or off, through this partnership."
Monster Spectacular Tour Update: Party Like
a Rock Star!!:
(By Doug De Nance) Overwhelmed by the deafening screams of
Monster Spectacular fans, the battered monster
truck
lurched to a stop on a shattered car stack. Bill Payne, the 26-year-old
rock star driver of Rockstar, leaned out the driver side window with his
index finger raised. One more he signaled, just one more hit. The clock
had just run out on his Saturday night freestyle run. And he was begging
for one more – one more hit just for the fans. Doug Noelke, Jocelyn Perrin Clinch 2009 Monster Nationals Championships!!: The 2009 Monster Nationals indoor season is in the books and Doug Noelke & Tail Gator and Jocelyn Perrin & High Maintenance have successfully defended their respective racing and freestyle titles!! Each driver absolutely dominated in their respective category this year, and Doug and Jocelyn were crowned champions once again this past weekend at the Monster Nationals event in Erie, PA. A big, heartful congratulations from all of us at TheMonsterBlog.com to our friends on their accomplishments. Thanks to Paul Harry for the great photos from Erie this weekend below, be watching for a full gallery coming soon! (04/27/09)
Obsession Racing Press Release!!: (Menifee, CA - By Jill Swanson) In the last two weeks Obsession Racing has done one display and three racing events. The display we did was one of the most interesting and unique displays we have ever done. AmeriGas was having a Managers meeting for their all of their Southern California stores. They wanted to show off their new local office building by having the monster truck on display inside of their conference area. Not only were they impressed by seeing the truck fitting in the building, it was also a treat for them to see the new truck, OBSESSED on display. All of the managers were very excited to know early next year they will have their second sponsored Hot Wheels to use in their marketing and promotions.
Last weekend we were in Fresno, California for three sold out Monster Jam events. It was a very tough field of trucks consisting of King Krunch, El Matador, Bounty Hunter, TMNT, and Grave Digger. Friday night Rick set second fastest qualifying time where he made it all the way to the Finals with an extremely close call with Grave Digger taking the win.
On
Saturday night Rick was there to backup Friday night’s winning streak.
Rick set fastest qualifying time and marched right down the brackets all
the way to the final round and won the show! On Sunday Rick was determined
to repeat Saturday night but unfortunately in the semi final round against
Bounty Hunter he blew a differential landing in no mans land in between
the first and second set of cars that forced us to finish the show there.
One of our highlights for the show was that Eric put on a cool freestyle
going over the cars in his trophy cart and rode it on two wheels a couple
of times which made the fans cheer! Creten, Sturges Complete Weekend Sweep @ Firebird!!: The 11th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Monster Truck Nationals wrapped up Sunday at Firebird International Raceway and it was Jimmy Creten and Sam Sturges completing a clean sweep of the weekend's events. The event kicked off with the wheelie and high jump contests, which would see strong efforts from all the trucks and drivers. Sam Sturges pulled Unnamed & Untamed up into three great slap wheelies, riding the last one way down the drag strip to complete a sweep of the weekend wheelie contest.
The high jump contest would once again see solid efforts from Dan Runte in Summit Bigfoot and Jim Koehler in Avenger, but there would be no touching Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter, as he caught some huge air on his way to sweeping the weekend's two high jump contests.
Freestyle would once again see the drivers put on a show within the tight confines of the Firebird drag strip. Ronnie Sturges would wow the crowd twice in Nasty Boy and 1/2 Pint, while Dan Runte in Summit Bigfoot and Sam Sturges in Unnamed & Untamed both turned in strong efforts.
Freestyle would come down to a Koehler vs. Creten battle, as both drivers put on a great performance for the fans. In the end though, there would be no matching the unofficial "King of Firebird" Jimmy Creten as he picked up the win to sweep freestyle for the weekend.
A big thanks to Dwayne Harksell and the entire Firebird International Raceway staff for their hospitality this weekend, and to all the drivers and teams for their hard work in putting on a great show. Tons of coverage coming your way from Firebird, including a huge photo gallery from Ross and Lauren Bonar, and another episode of TMB TV with video work by Shane Skinner and Lynette Bonar. Stay tuned!! (04/26/09) Jimmy Creten, Sam Sturges Winners Night One In Firebird!!: The first night of the 11th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Monster Truck Nationals at Firebird International Raceway proved to be a wild one with eight top trucks in an all-out battle on the drag strip!! The evening would begin with four trucks competing in a wheelie contest while the other four would go head-to-head in a high-jump contest. Sam Sturges stood Unnamed & Untamed up on its tailgate twice, riding down the strip in a shower of sparks to take the wheeelie contest win.
The high-jump contest would see huge air from Jim Koehler in Avenger and Dan Runte in Summit Bigfoot that would set the bar high for Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter. Creten cleared the bar and much more in an awesome leap that would nail down the victory.
All eight trucks would be competing in freestyle, and Ronnie Sturges in 1/2 Pint set the bar extremely high with a great opening run. Ronnie blasted through the RV camper not once but twice, the second time going past vertical in a wheelie through the camper. Throw in a near rollover and some other nice hits, and Ronnie put forth a run that would be difficult to overcome.
After contact with the wall ended Brutus and Chris Bergeron's run early, Sam Sturges roared to the track and laid down a great run in Unnamed & Untamed. Donuts, nice air, and wheelies would make for a strong effort, but not quite enough to defeat 1/2 Pint.
After short runs from Nasty Boy, Rick Long in Bigfoot #15 and Jim Koehler in Avenger, Dan Runte rolled to the track in Summit Bigfoot, turning in a solid effort that would be good for third behind the Sturges team with only one truck left to go.
For several years, Jimmy Creten has been nearly unbeatable at Firebird and he roared from the pits to defend this reputation. Huge air, crazy donuts, and a nice slap wheelie would make up a great run, but the question was, did he do enough to beat Ronnie Sturges in 1/2 Pint? The judges scores would come back and Creten just edged Sturges to take the big freestyle win.
But to the surprise of the fans, the show wasn't quite over. The Sturges Motorsports team roared back to the track in tandem with Sam in Unnamed & Untamed and Ronnie in Nasty Boy. But the dual freestyle would be over before it really got started as trouble struck when Sam Sturges attempted to pull Unnamed up into a slap wheelie and the truck shot to the left, going up and over the wall and hitting the bordering k-rails.
Sam was able to drive off and the truck would luckily suffer only minimal damage. Chris Bergeron in Brutus and Jimmy Creten followed with seperate encore freestyle runs to the delight of the fans to end the show. All in all, it was another great night at Firebird and we do it all again tomorrow at 2PM. Stay tuned for more coverage! (04/26/09) NAPA Monster Truck Nationals & Lakefest This Weekend @ Firebird!!: (Chandler, AZ) Family fun, awesome power and blazing speed will all converge at the upcoming 11th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Monster Truck Nationals and Lakefest this weekend!! This event is the truck enthusiasts' dream come true at Firebird International Raceway with everything trucks, including an all-star lineup of monster trucks including Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter, Dan Runte in Summit Bigfoot, Jim Koehler in Avenger, Sam Sturges in Unnamed & Untamed, as well as Bigfoot #15, Brutus, Nasty Boy and 1/2 Pint.
In
addition to the monster truck action, fans will see over 200 trucks in an
amazing Show'N Shine competition, another 200 off-road vehicles tearing up
the off-road course in Whiplash Off-Road Racing, Jet Dragsters topping out
at over 225 MPH and the IHBA Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing season opener!

You’ll see the Tuff Trux – Pro Stadium Trucks direct from TV as they fly

you have to see to believe!! Also, see wild wheel to wheel Pro Quad
Racing. See the spills and thrills of this wild racing action. Monster Spectacular Opens 2009 In Montreal!!: (By Doug De Nance) You know spring time has officially sprung in Canada when Monster Spectacular takes place in Montreal in April. The sweet smell of methanol fumes float on the light breezes bringing the promise of Monster Spectacular summer to many parts of Canada. The subtle sound of the roars of 12 of the biggest, baddest monster trucks on the planet is sure to overwhelm the twittering of song birds and welcome the warm weather for Canadian motorsports fans.
Monster Spectacular is known around the world and across Canada for bringing together the very best in motorsports entertainment at every show. The one-night-only show in Montreal on Saturday, April 18 was no exception. Over 50,000 fans gathered together to enjoy some of the best in the business. From the Pit Party – to monster truck freestyle in stereo - to the final all out destruction of a massive demolition derby, the fans were on the edge of their seats for over three hours. They must have expected as much since the commercials promised “You can have the whole seat… but you’ll only need the edge!!!” and Monster Spectacular delivered!!
The
two most exciting disciplines of monster truck competition were the main
events of the evening at Monster Spectacular. Racing featured a massive
“Chicago” style course designed by 20 year monster truck driving veteran
Steve Hearely. Perhaps because he was not driving himself, Hearley really
put the trucks through their paces – having them race around the outside
of the demolition oval and twisting into two tight left hand turns on the
tacky clay while leaping over a total of 5 car stacks. The flat track
corners and sticky dirt did cause Chris Bergeron to turn Brutus over in
the first turn. But the driver for the Avenger racing team “Team Scream”,
lived up to the team name and hollered that destruction is what the fans
were there to see. The racing final was a dream match up with Jimmy
Creten’s Bounty Hunter defeating defending Monster Spectacular champion
Mike Vaters and Black Stallion by less than one second.
The fans were treated to superlative driving skills in Monster Truck Freestyle. Kristy Edge, the pretty 23-year-old originally from Abbotsford, BC, was driving her new ride Excalibur for the first time. She didn’t waste any time wowing the crowd with an incredible save. Dancing the 10,000 pound truck on its nose, she mashed the pedal to the metal and throttled out of what looked to be certain disaster. Steve Koehler skilfully saved Wrecking Crew after blasting through a cube van and tipping his truck up onto two wheels. Brutus performed a perfect Cyclone Donut, lifting the inside front wheel off the ground – this after tearing up his steering. Jon Zimmer wanted to make a statement after making it all the way to the semi-final in racing, and he didn’t let a flat tire stop him from trying to destroy Amsoil Shock Therapy.
The final two trucks in Freestyle would see the re-match of the Monster Racing final. But fans had a chance to catch their breath as they waited until Montreal radio and TV star Badu took a tour around the track in his Fun Mobile motorhome. Very quickly it became clear what Badu had in mind. Badu was ready to sacrifice his ride for the fans, as he parked the motorhome in the centre of the track. Fans expected the next truck to take out the motorhome, but they were in for a surprise.
Not
one, but the last two trucks hit the floor simultaneously. Mike Vaters and
Jimmy Creten had put aside their rivalry for what was far more important -
the fans! Bounty Hunter and Black Stallion tore onto the track in unison.
Flying over car stacks as they circled the outside of the track, Black
Stallion shattered the BMX ramp that had featured riders during the Pit
Party. Not to be outdone, Bounty Hunter took aim at Badu’s motorhome.
Slamming into it, Creten became high centered and was unable to get his
tires to bite. Vaters showed what an incredible entertainer he is by
trying to tap the back bumper of Bounty Hunter to free Creten. When that
didn’t work, Vaters backed up and smashed Black Stallion through the
remainder of the motorhome. Creten tore loose and the two stars continued
their Freestyle long after the 90 second clock expired. Wild Weekend of Monsters In Wichita!!: The Checkered Flag Productions Monster Truck Spring Nationals added a new stop to the tour this past weekend, the brand new Hartman Arena in Wichita, Kansas. With three shows and an all-star lineup, it was sure to be a wild weekend and the fans didn't leave disappointed. Friday night would see Ben Winslow take the upset win in the wheelie contest to kick off the weekend's action.
Racing would be fast and furious all weekend, with Mike Hawkins in Equalizer taking the wins in the Friday and Saturday afternoon events. Teammate Isaiah Morales in Hot Tamale took out Larry Swim in Equalizer for the Saturday night victory.
Saturday night would feature something slightly different, as the trucks competed in a high jump contest. Isaiah Morales, Brandon Lagarde and Larry Swim all had great efforts, but Mike Hawkins aired out Equalizer to take the win.
Freestyle would see great efforts from all the trucks in all three shows. Brandon Lagarde drove Cult Energy Activator to the Friday night win after a cheeroff with Equalizer, while Larry Swim picked up the Saturday afternoon victory in his first show driving Bigfoot #15 (the motor blew in Bigfoot Bad Boy Friday night and #15 was brought out as a replacement). Despite another great effort by Swim and an awesome from Devin Jones in Barbarian, it was "Mad" Mike Hawkins taking the final win of the weekend Saturday night.
A big thanks to Ed Beckley and Zane Rettew for another great weekend on the Checkered Flag Productions tour, stay tuned for a highlight video from all three shows. Also, a big thanks to Tonee Boulware for the great photos from Saturday night's event!!

Larry Swim & Bigfoot Bad Boy Sweeps Pocatello, Takes Championship!!: The Monster Truck Grand Nationals is in the books, and Larry Swim has swept racing and freestyle to clinch the 2009 Monster Truck Winter Nationals Championship!! Swim drove Bigfoot Bad Boy to the big racing win over Bill Payne in Rock Star, who had been the fast qualifier and the dominant truck all night long. Swim took out Jon Zimmer in Amsoil Shock Therapy in the first round in a huge match-up, and that was one of the big factors that has allowed Swim to clinch after racing.
Zimmer got a tough draw for freestyle and had to lead off, but he laid down a jaw-dropping freestyle for a much too low score of 24. Next up was Bill Payne and Rock Star, and Bill put down a great freestyle run of his run before flipping violently off the bus and doing severe damage to the front end. Even though the run was a bit short, it was enough to give Bill the lead with a score of 27. That would hold as the huge obstacles would claim Snake Bite, Hot Tamale and Equalizer, ending their runs early with breakage. Then Larry Swim roared to the track and proceeded to put forth a great freestyle that last over 3 minutes before he finally got out of shape going over of the tour bus and rolled over. The scores came up for a 29 handing Bigfoot Bad Boy the lead with only the rookie Tim Messentis left. Messentis did an outstanding job earning a score of 25 and a tie for third place. That would clinch the sweep of the Grand Nationals to go along with the '09 title for Larry Swim and Bigfoot Bad Boy!! Check out below for some preview photos and footage of some of the night's biggest moments courtesy of Rajeana Bonar: Click each thumbnail to view larger image!!

course will see the trucks start at the base of the bus hill in the middle
of the track, race side by side over the top of it and drag to the end of
the track where they will make a u-turn and race back on opposite sides
over three dirt jumps and across the finish line. The most prominent
freestyle obstacle is no doubt the metal mountain that features a bus and
four full-sized vans stacked on a bed of cars. There are plenty more cars,
vans and even a small tour bus that will be added to the track before
freestyle. Click image to launch TMB Trackside Live Player!!
