After attending his first Monster Jam event in Pontiac, Michigan at the age of six, Bari Musawwir knew that's what he wanted to do. Thanks to a chance meeting with a Monster Jam official during an R/C (radio controlled) competition, Bari earned an invitation to try out for a driver’s position. He made the best of it, making his series debut in Panama in 2010. Musawwir showed he had what it took and was named Rookie of the Year in 2011 and won the Double Down Showdown in Las Vegas the following year.
