RECAP
As the energy builds in Pittsburgh, so does the competition. Racing the bull against Blue Thunder in the Racing Finals, Mark List crosses the finish line after a slow-mo video replay taking the first 8 points of the night. With back-to-back competition wins, Colton Eichelberger in Max-D snagged first place in both ATV Racing and 2-Wheel Skills. With the pressure of only making it to the Racing Semi-Finals, Justin Sipes in Megalodon went full throttle in Donuts for the win. Trying to keep his momentum from his hype in Donuts, Megalodon went head-to-head in a battle with Max-D in the Speedster Obstacle Course Competition. Only one athlete can cross the finish line first, and in this case Colton Eichelberger in Max-D came out on top. In our final competition of the night, Krysten Anderson proved why she belongs on team Grave Digger when she landed a successful backflip giving her a high score of 9.654 and the Freestyle win. With 3 competition wins out of the 6 in the event, Colton Eichelberger with Max-D took home his 3rd Overall Event Championship win of the weekend. With one more event tomorrow, it’s only certain that our athletes will continue to battle for that automatic bid to Monster Jam World Finals 21 and finish out the weekend strong in Pittsburgh!

RECAP
Great turnout in Pittsburg as Monster Jam fans screamed for their favorite athletes. A great start for the night came from Colton Eichelberger as he claimed the first Racing win of the weekend for team Max-D. It was battle on the track for all athletes in ATV racing as they fought for a place in the finals. It went back-and-forth between Megalodon and Blue Thunder in that final race, but in the final turn and over the pod, it was Justin Sipes in Megalodon who crossed the finish line. Tonight, there was a lot of great attempts in 2-Wheel Skills. While Preston Perez held onto the score to beat the entire time, it was Megalodon who swam in and claimed that top spot away from the Mutt. The dirt in Pittsburg gave our athletes some push-back in Donuts, but it was Megalodon who once again spun his beast into first place with another 8 points on the board and his 3rd consecutive competition win. Trying to hold onto his current lead in season points, Colton Eichelberger in Max-D won the Speedster Obstacle Course competition. Monster Jam Freestyle was the crowd favorite as our athletes laid down their best runs on the track. With a successful attempt on the 8-pack backflip ramp, Justin Sipes made history landing the first backflip in an arena here in Pittsburg which gave him the Freestyle win. With four competition wins in tonight’s event, there was no question that Justin Sipes in Megalodon took the Overall Event Championship. A great start to our weekend here in Pittsburg, PA. Our Monster Jam athletes are looking forward to bringing more of the action tomorrow at the PPG Paints Arena!
