Monster Jam was in action in four cities last weekend. Over in Rosemont, all eight competitors took home at least one competition win during the weekend.
Stadium Championship Series East – Orlando
Bari Musawwir (Zombie) cut Tyler Menninga (Grave Digger)’s points lead down from 5 points to 2 last weekend during the standalone event at Camping World Stadium. Musawwir defeated Dalton Widner (Jurassic Attack) in the JCB Racing final for the win, while Menninga was eliminated by Widner in the semi-finals. Menninga came back to win the Skills Challenge with a 9.2 score, and then Musawwir finished the night off with a 9.4 in Freestyle, giving him the win and the Overall Event Championship.
Stadium Championship Series West – El Paso
Much like the Stadium East Series, the points lead between Tristan England (JCB DIGatron) and Ryan Anderson (Son-uva Digger) also remains tight. The series visited the UTEP Sun Bowl Stadium, and points leader England kicked things off Saturday with the JCB Racing win. Todd LeDuc (Megalodon) won Skills and then Adan Anderson (Grave Digger) pulled off a great save to win Freestyle. However, the Overall went to Bryce Kenny (Monster Mutt) through consistency. While England was able to increase his points lead on Saturday, Ryan Anderson dominated on Sunday, winning JCB Racing and Skills and the Overall. Zach Garner (Wild Side) topped him by 0.034 to win Freestyle and prevent Ryan from getting the clean sweep.

Arena Championship Series West – Portland
Coty Saucier (Dragon) took the fight to points leader Weston Anderson (Grave Digger) Friday night at the Moda Center in Portland. However, Anderson then went back to his winning ways on Saturday and Sunday, winning 7 of the 12 remaining competitions and each of the three remaining Overall Event Championships. Devin Winfield (Velociraptor) got a JCB Racing and Skills Challenge win, Ashley Sanford (Megalodon) got a Wky Wheelie win, and Brianna Mahon (Scooby-Doo) closed the weekend out with the Freestyle win on Sunday.
