DRIVER HISTORY
Adam Anderson Headshot

Being the son of the legendary Dennis Anderson, monster truck driving is pretty much Adam Anderson has ever known. As a kid, he always knew that one day he was going to be a monster truck driver, it was in his blood; however, it wasn't until he first began driving monster trucks that he realized why it was so special and why his father had loved it so much. Adam is still very young and has much to learn, but that doesn't mean he is without high aspirations. Although he did not achieve his first goal to claim rookie of the year, his impressive 2006 season earned him the 'Most Improved Driver' honors. Another achievement was earned that season in Minneapolis when he edged out his father by one point to capture the freestyle competition. Adam has a lot to look forward to, but he doesn't want to get ahead of himself. He is perfectly content just to contribute to the sport to do what he loves.
