Monsters On Mainstreet Autograph Session at Tim Mooney Ford
Meet the Blue Thunder® Race Team, brought to you by Ford Truck

The fourth-annual Monsters On Mainstreet event is heading to Tuscola, Ill.,, where the Blue Thunder® Race Team will appear at Tim Mooney Ford for a free, open-to-the-public autograph session on Friday, June 26 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m., and again on Saturday, June 27 from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. Tim Mooney Ford is located at 46 East Southline, Tuscola, IL 61953.

Earlier this year, Tuscola native Michael Ruggles, a huge Monster Jam fan, was one of more than 54,000 people who registered for a chance to win a 2009 Ford F-150 XLT and their very own hometown Blue Thunder BBQ in the Built Ford Tough Monsters On Mainstreet sweepstakes.   As one of three finalists, he and his guests were treated to a VIP trip to Las Vegas and the Monster Jam World Finals at Sam Boyd Stadium.  Then, before a sold-out crowd of almost 37,000 fans, Ruggles randomly selected the key that started a Built Ford Tough F-150 pickup – making him the Grand Prize winner.

The autograph sessions kick off the Tuscola festivities that culminate with a backyard Blue Thunder BBQ, compliments of Ford Trucks.  As the Grand Prize winner, Ruggles will host 25 friends and family for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Blue Thunder monster truck team, including veteran driver Linsey Weenk, and Frank Krmel – making his first appearance as the new addition to the Blue Thunder team – will be at the BBQ in Ruggles’ backyard, along with the Blue Thunder ride truck.
