In the end it was all about Monster Jam Freestyle, and Tallahasse was ready to let it all out! Truck after Monster Jam Truck would come out and give their best, but Predator would hang a score of 22 on the board with one Monster Jam Truck remaining. Jeremy Slifco would come out and attempt to do the impossible, win a complete four event show. Hitting the crush cars from all angles and attacking the monster jam track with force would only see his score reach as high as a 21. Backdraft would have rear steer issues and not be able to finish the way they would have liked! This gave the victory to the 30 year Monster Jam Truck veteran Alan Pezo in Predator, a well deserved win as he was flawless in his run!
