\"Charlie<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This weekend’s stop at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, GA, will be a unique one for Monster Jam legend Charlie Pauken<\/strong><\/a>, as he will be pitted up against one of the trucks that made him a star in the industry: Excaliber<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the photo above, Charlie Pauken is seen standing in front of Grave Digger and Mike Pagliarulo in front of Excaliber, the trucks that they will be competing in this weekend. They are two of the eight drivers that will be in the five events at the Enmarket Arena<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This marks a rare moment for Charlie Pauken as he has seldom, if ever, competed against the Excaliber Monster Jam truck despite both trucks having been around for four decades!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can’t be there in person, check in with the live streams over the weekend<\/strong><\/a> to see which of them comes out on top!<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
