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.
