Rushville, IL Monster Truck Show Highlight Video!!: After weeks of on and off rain in the Rushville area, the Schuyler County Fairgrounds was blessed with beautiful skies and great weather for a 4th of July celebration featuring monster trucks!! This was the first time an actual monster truck show was featured at the Schuyler County Fair and reports from fair officials indicate a record breaking crowd!! Providing the action were the Quadzilla, Viper, Bad News, and Barbarian monster trucks, and our own Colby Marshall was on hand to cover the event. The wheelie contest was won by Devin Jones in Barbarian, while Bruce Haney in Bad News Travels Fast picked up the Chicago-style racing victory. Freestyle would see all four trucks put on a show for the fans, with the highlight being a wild run from Devin and Barbarian.

CHECK OUT THE RUSHVILLE, IL MONSTER TRUCK SHOW HIGHLIGHT VIDEO!! Big Trucks = Big Success: Truk Wurks Open House a Hit!!: (Greencastle, IN) The Truk Wurks team is pleased to report that their first annual open-house event at their Greencastle, IN headquarters this 4th of July weekend was a smash hit!
The Bar's Leaks Eliminator monster truck sat on display all weekend, joined by the team's classic show truck "Whiskey Runner"; this duo caused quite a commotion, bringing in truck enthusiasts and families all weekend long. "We couldn't be more pleased with our turn out this weekend," said Truk Wurks general manager Greg Adams. "This has been a tough and exciting challenge to get our brand-new Truk Wurks show room and service center up and running, but if this weekend is any indication of what's to come, I think our hard work will pay off," he added.
Truk Wurks customers will be able to buy and/or custom order all manner of aftermarket products for their car, truck, SUV, or race vehicle. In addition to that, Truk Wurks will also offer custom fabrication services, installation of parts, vehicle tuning, and diesel repair. Greg Adams will oversee the majority of the operation as general manager, with son Zach Adams serving as shop foreman. Kyle Doyle will be assisting with marketing and sales duties, while long-time team member Michael Honcho will be handling outside sales tasks. "We've got a great staff put together with a diverse background, so we will be able to serve our customers from start to finish. From product research and consulting to purchasing and right up to the installation and beyond, we've got them covered!" said Adams.
The team will also
continue to campaign the Bar's Leaks Eliminator monster truck out of the
Truk Wurks shop. As part of its Bar's Leaks sponsorship, the team is
planning an aggressive static display schedule to augment their race/show
schedule. "With the Bar's Leaks Eliminator, we bring to the table a
powerful marketing tool that can assist promoters in generating ticket
sales and increasing event awareness," Adams mentioned. "Bar's Leaks
products are retailed at auto parts stores and discount stores like
Wal-Mart all over the country, so we feel that the Bar's Leaks truck will
be a great asset in helping promoters build a successful event by
featuring the truck on display prior to a race," he added.

of Destruction Event Postponed:
(Wheatland, MO) After continuing to look at our remaining
2008 schedule, we are making changes that make sense for our current
economic climate. With that being said, the weekly racing scheduled for
August 9th has been canceled and the Monster Truck/Demolition Derby
scheduled for August 10th has been postponed.

Dishman, Balhan Emerge Victorious In Springfield, IL!!: The Special Events Performance Series returned to the Illinois State Fairgrounds this weekend for the annual 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals!! Featured at the huge event was the Monster Truck Thunder Drags, with seven top trucks competing in racing brackets and freestyle exhibitions. Three racing competitions were scheduled for the weekend, but rain washed away Sunday's race leaving only the freestyle exhibition. Saturday however, featured some close racing with Geremie Dishman taking down Monster Jam Racing Champ John Seasock in Batman in the finals of the early event. Seasock again made the final round in the late race, but George Balhan took the win in Monster Mutt. Jim Koehler kept the crowd on their feet Saturday with some classic Avenger freestyle, including bringing the truck back to all fours after rolling onto the side. A big thanks to Monster Blog Staff Member Kyle Doyle and Special Contributor Colby Marshall for handling the coverage in Springfield--be watching for a big photo gallery from Kyle and a special video coverage from Colby featuring all the action and some behind the scenes interviews by KD.
