North Little Rock, AR - Verizon Arena

Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam
Verizon Arena
North Little Rock, AR
January 18-19, 2013

Little Rock knows how to party!! OMG!! The path of destruction rolled through the state capitol tonight as Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam stormed Verizon Arena!

A little chilly outside but inside Verizon, 6 awesome Monster Jam Drivers and six incredible Monster Jam Trucks put on a clinic. Our Monster Jam fans are by far the best in the world and they again proved it as they rocked the house!
A packed event roster tonight started with Wheelies, Racing, Donuts and freestyle!
Wheelies we spectacular! Nightmare took the victory with a nearly perfect wheelie….. Nose up, tailgate on the cars! WOW!! Congrtas to Andy Hoffman as he piloted Nightmare to the wheelie win!
Grave Digger Gary Porter 20
Monster Mutt Whit Tarlton 21
Nite Mare Andy Hoffman 26
Full Boar Ed Eckert 12
Incinerator Ryan Rice 11
Fatal Attraction Jeff Murphy 12
The Hardee’s Round one racing competition was next and the racing was close tonight in Little Rock!
Monster Mutt took out Incinerator
Full Boar defeated Nightmare
Grave Digger bested Fatal Attraction.
Nightmare returned as our fast loser and would also advance to the Hardee’s semifinal round.
In the semi’s:
Monster Mutt finished off Nite Mare
Grave Digger took out Full Boar
In the UTI Championship round Gary Porter and Grave Digger defeated Whit Tarlton and Monster Mutt. Digger took the racing win and was the only truck in the building with a chance at the double down tonight in Little Rock. Could he capitalize?
Monster Jam Donuts proved to be costly for at least one of the competitors tonight, Your wheelie champion for the evening would go out of the donut competition early with only a couple of revolutions before the tranny let go and ended Nitemare ‘s night. Ed Eckert and Full Boar simply lit it up tonight in donuts. What a display of horsepower contained in a 30 foot circle. Stunning!

It all came down to Monster Jam Freestyle. Could Porter and Digger claim the double down…… YES HE COULD and YES HE DID!! Digger won Freestyle capping a good night for the North Carolina born and raised Porter.

Monster Mutt Whit Tarlton 21
Nite Mare Andy Hoffman DNF with Transmission in pieces in the pits
