EVENT NOTES
The Monster Jam Triple Threat Series West kicked off in Salt Lake City with a hot crowd ready for some Monster Jam action! Tyler Menninga in Grave Digger would start the night in Timed Racing with what could prove to be the fastest time of the weekend. The ATV Racing Finals would see Grave Digger taking on Max-D with Colton Eichelberger and Max-D claiming the ATV win in a close battle. The 2-Wheel Skills Challenge would see Grave Digger claiming the victory with a standing moonwalk. Monster Jam Donuts would be next and see Bari Musawwir in Zombie spinning those Zombie arms in the air for the victory. The Speedster Obstacle Course would see the longest rivalry in all of motorsports with Grave Digger vs. Max-D with a close battle. Max-D crossed the finish line first but, due to hitting a turn pole, would be disqualified so Grave Digger would take the victory. Monster Jam Freestyle would see Grave Digger claiming the victory with some great air, nonstop momentum and great moonwalks. Claiming the Freestyle victory would clinch the first overall event championship of 2019 for Grave Digger!
A great start to the action in Salt Lake City tonight!
