The Monster Jam World Tour returned to the Garrett Coliseum tonight to the near full house for another exciting night of competition. Four different events for the Monster Jam drivers. Five of the best drivers and trucks were in Montgomery tonight. The four different events included: Monster Jam Wheelie Competition, Monster Jam Racing, Monster Jam Donut Competition, and Monster Jam Freestyle. One driver would clean house tonight.

The first event of the night would be Monster Jam Wheelie Competition. One truck at a time. Which driver could stand their Monster Truck straight up and down? Each driver would get two hits on the crush cars. The scores seemed to get higher with each truck. The high score of the Wheelie Competition would go to Andy Slifko driving Eradicator. The winning score would be a 26.

Up next would be Monster Jam Racing. The drivers came out in the pre-show activity and drew numbers in front of the excited crowd. The brackets were set up by the numbers the drivers drew. The racing was tight in each round. Backdraft, driven by John Killinger would not make the start after problems in the Wheelie Competition. This changed the whole outlook of the Racing. Eradicator defeated Eliminator in the first round and The Broker defeated Big Crunch. Backdraft did get the bye run by drawing #1. Up next, the semi-finals went really fast. Eliminator got a bye run because Backdraft did not make the call, and Eradicator defeated The Broker. The two fastest trucks of the night lined up for the final. Eradicator got the jump off the start and wouldn't look back. Andy Slifko was on a roll and took the Win.

After a brief intermission, the next event for the Monsters was Monster Jam Donut Competition. The scores for the Donut Contest went up and down. The last truck came out and turned some of the fastest donuts I have ever seen. I got dizzy just watching the last truck. Eradicator seemed to spin faster and faster the louder the crowd got. Eradicator took the win with a score of 30. The first perfect score of the night.

The final event of the night would be Monster Jam Freestyle. Sixty seconds, anything goes. The scores would be very low but very fair. The crowd favorite was also the judges favorite tonight. Once again, Andy Slifko in Eradicator would be the winner with a score of 25. Slifko thanked the fans for making him try so hard to take the win. Slifko took the clean sweep tonight winning all four competitions tonight.

A sell out crowd saw an awesome Monster Jam. Five Fantastic Trucks came to Montgomery for Monster Jam. Four different events for the Monster Trucks tonight: Monster Jam Wheelie, Racing, Donuts, and Monster Jam Freestyle.

The first event of the night was Monster Jam Sky Wheelie Competition. One truck at a time, two hits on the crush cars. The judges would score the event really close. The biggest sky wheelie by far was Greg Adams in Eliminator. The score for Eliminator would be a 25.

The second event of the night would be Monster Jam Racing. The brackets were set by the drivers drawing poker chips before the chaos started on the floor. The racing rounds were even closer than they were Friday night. The finals came down to Big Crunch driven by Tom Schmidt against Andy Slifko in Eradicator. Eradicator would get the jump off the starting line and would never look back. Eradicator won the race by just a few truck lengths.

Up next would be the Monster Jam Donut Competition. It was time for Cyclone Donuts. Once again, each truck would come out one at a time. The three Monster Jam judges had their work cut out for them. They would give the narrow victory to Eradicator with a score of 29.

The final event of the weekend would be Monster Jam Freestyle. Sixty seconds of pure destruction of the floor. The track crew stacked up the car stacks two high. The drivers had a huge floor to work with. The scores were really close once again. The final truck of the night would hit the cars harder and higher than everyone else. Andy Slifko in Eradicator would also turn some crazy cyclone donuts during his sixty seconds. The judges gave Eradicator the win with a score of 28.
