EVENT NOTES
It looks like Linsey Read and Team Scooby-Doo! were able to reign supreme here in Albuquerque. They dominated the first half of the event taking wins in Monster Jam Racing, ATV Obstacle Course and 2-Wheel Skills. Randy Brown and Team Grave Digger were not giving up without a fight as they took over the second half of the event winning Donuts and ATV Racing. The Freestyle competition would be the deciding factor as to who would walk away with the Overall Event Championship. It was Linsey Read’s impressive endo that had everyone in the coliseum on their feet! With this high scoring performance, Team Scooby-Doo! not only claimed the last Overall Event Championship of the weekend but is now only eight points away from overtaking Stinger Unleashed in the season standings.

EVENT NOTES
Everyone wanted a piece of the Overall Event Championship as we entered the third event in Albuquerque. Zane Rettew took the first win of the event in Monster Jam Racing, but it was a close race as Devastator’s Aaron Basl almost took the win away from him. Monster Mutt Dalmatian’s Kaylyn Migues wowed the fans as she earned her fourth 2-Wheel Skills Challenge win in her career. Grave Digger’s Randy Brown once again was the king of the Donuts competition and Freestyle. But Dragon’s Darren Migues challenged the competition in Freestyle with an impressive save on just one BKT tire that the fans went crazy for! In the end, it was Team Stinger Unleashed that would prevail as the Overall Event Champion. So it looks like that each of our top three contenders in the Season Standings has won the Overall Event Championship. Who will reign supreme? Or will another competitor rain on their parade? Tune in tomorrow as we wrap up our weekend in Albuquerque!

EVENT NOTES
Every dog has its day and today belonged to the greatest mystery solving dog. Linsey Read has been battling to get the top spot since taking the Overall Event Championship in Washington, D.C. She drove Scooby-Doo! past the other competitors as she claimed the win in Monster Jam Racing. Then she returned with a thrilling 2-Wheel Skills Challenge performance that the fans couldn’t help but to score her in the winning position. Her husband, Jerrad Warhurst, also displayed tremendous athleticism as he placed in second in the ATV Obstacle Course. And then in true Scooby-Doo! fashion, Linsey closed out the event with a high-flying Freestyle that clinched her the overall victory. This was a special win for Linsey as she was able to perform in front of her family here in Albuquerque. Scooby-Doo! was back as the top dog of the series.

EVENT NOTES
There was excitement in the air as we began our four-event weekend here in Albuquerque! Fans cheered for Grave Digger’s Randy Brown as he took his first Monster Jam Racing win since Tupelo and his 12th win in the Great Clips 2-Wheel Skills Challenge. The second half of the event belonged to the greatest mystery solving dog as Scooby-Doo!’s Linsey Read picked up wins in Donuts and Freestyle. But once again she was just a few points shy of the Overall Event Championship. Randy Brown continues to reign supreme, earning his fifteenth Overall Event Championship in the series. Linsey Read also continues to make moves in the season standings. She is now only 24 points behind Zane Rettew. Could she overtake second place from Stinger Unleashed? Stay tuned to see how the rest of the weekend unfolds!
