EVENT NOTES

Sunday in Newark was a back-and-forth event all day long. Things started with Grave Digger defeating Monster Energy in the Monster Jam Racing Final, preventing Coty Saucier from sweeping the weekend in that competition. Up next, Kayla Blood of Solider Fortune captured her second ATV Racing win of the season. In the 2-Wheel Skills Challenge, Brandon Vinson continued his dominance, grabbing win number 10 for Grave Digger. In the second half, Soldier Fortune came out strong, as Kayla took her second Donut win of the weekend. Blue Thunder’s Matt Cody won the Speedster Obstacle Course in front of several friends and family in attendance, including his new born son. Heading into Freestyle, Grave Digger, El Toro Loco and Soldier Fortune were separated by only a few points. Some tough luck for Brandon Vinson during his run took Grave Digger out of contention for the Overall Event Victory and with Soldier Fortune holding the lead, it looked like it would be Kayla’s second trophy of the weekend. However, El Toro Loco’s Mark List stunned the crowd by finishing three one thousandths of a point better than Solider Fortune in Freestyle, making him the final Overall Event Champion of weekend in unbelievable fashion.

EVENT NOTES

Saturday night in Newark was all about Brandon Vinson and Grave Digger. He won the 2-Wheel Skills Challenge, Donuts and the Speedster Obstacle Course and finished in third place in the other 3 competitions, which allowed him to total a whopping 42 points. It was Brandon’s first Overall Event Championship of the weekend, but he has been consistently stockpiling points and now has a bit of a comfortable lead in the Season Standings — 28 points ahead of El Toro Loco. It is also worth noting that Coty Saucier has won all three Racing competitions so far, as Monster Energy goes for the sweep on Sunday.

EVENT NOTES

Kayla Blood and Soldier Fortune got back to their winning ways on Saturday Afternoon. Although she has been consistently winning individual competitions, it had been a couple of weeks since her last Overall Event Championship. She changed her fortunes today on the strength of second place finishes in 2-Wheel Skills Challenge and Donuts before sealing the victory with a Freestyle win. In total, Kayla has had a solid 2019 so far, as she’s lead Soldier Fortune to third place in the Season Standings to go along with three Overall Event Victories — second to only Grave Digger.

EVENT NOTES

Friday night in Newark was the site of a few firsts. It was Coty Saucier and Monster Energy’s first Freestyle win of 2019, and more importantly, his first Overall Event Championship of the season. The event opened strong for Monster Energy with a Racing win. Following that victory however, things were a bit uneven for the Monster Energy team. It wasn’t until the Speedster Obstacle that Coty was able to right the ship for his second competition win of the night. Momentum was on Monster Energy’s side from that point on, as the Freestyle victory sealed the deal and gave Coty Saucier his first trophy of 2019.
