This year Monster Jam will see a new face driving the hugely popular Maximum Destruction monster truck. Tom Meents will team up with Monster Jam veteran Kreg Christensen to take on the rest of the Monster Jam field in 2009! MonsterJamOnline.com  sat down with both Tom and Kreg to get their views on what 2009 has in store for Team Meents.

MonsterJamOnline.com:
What are your thoughts on teaming up with Tom Meents in Maximum Destruction this year?

Kreg Christensen:
Is a huge honor to drive for Tom. I have always had a huge amount of respect for what he has done in Maximum Destruction. He is the freestyle king of Monster Jam and I hope to follow in his foot steps as one of the top drivers in the world.

MonsterJamOnline.com:
Have you ever been in Maximum Destruction before, and what do you think it’s going to be like?

Kreg Christensen: Well it’s going to get CRAZY out there this year. I’m going to run Max D. harder and more on the limit then I ever have before. I’m going to be running this truck wide open!!! I started out driving Dragon Slayer for the first 15 years, then switched to Iron Outlaw for 2008. This coming year is going to be a totally new challenge as I have not driven a front engine truck since 1992.

Any closing words for your competition?

Kreg Christensen:
“Everyone better bring their A game this year, because I’m going to be bringing mine...as Tom always says, Max D. is going to be ON A MISSION”

MonsterJamOnline.com: Tom what are your thoughts on having Kreg as a teammate this year?

Tom Meents:
Kreg brings so much driving experience and has been competing on such a high level for years. I couldn’t pick a better fit to drive Maximum Destruction. I expect him to drive as he always has, on the limit! I have know Kreg since 1990 when we use to mud race. He has always had a bit of a chip on his shoulder, and I think this is his year to shine. I’m going to throw him the keys to his new ride and were going to have the time of our lives in 2009! Bring it on!
