Defending Monster Jam World Finals Racing Champion, Son-uva Digger’s Ryan Anderson, finally lost a race as Gas Monkey Garage’s B.J. Johnson took down the defending champ in Racing. Finally, it was Grave Digger and Randy Brown capping off the night in dramatic fashion by winning Freestyle with a beautifully executed backflip and an electrifying near save to end the run.

EVENT NOTES
It was an exciting first day of competition here in Toronto as Gas Money Garage’s B.J. Johnson took home the first Event Championship of the 2018 Season. While he did not win any one competition, Johnson put in the most consistent performance of the evening on his way to the crown. Defending Monster Jam World Finals Racing Champion, Son-uva Digger’s Ryan Anderson, continued his winning ways by defeating the field in Racing. VP Racing Fuels’ Mad Scientist’s Lee O’Donnell captured the top spot in Two-Wheel Skills after a pair of beautifully executed forward poppers. Finally, it was Overkill Evolution and Mike Vaters II capping off the night in dramatic fashion by winning Freestyle with a backflip and a number of sky wheelies. This star-studded field did not disappoint the fans here at the Rogers Centre, with even more exciting action to come tomorrow afternoon.
