One month into the 2026 Monster Jam season, and three of our five domestic Monster Jam series see 6 points or less separating the championship leaders. There was plenty of action last week as all five series were running. Here’s how it all went down:
Stadium Championship Series East – Indianapolis
Kevin Crocker (Megalodon) kicked off the weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium with his first competition win of the year in JCB Racing. Camden Murphy (Classroom Crusher), Colt Stephens (ThunderROARus), and Adam Anderson (Grave Digger) also picked up competition wins throughout the weekend. However, it was Tristan England (JCB DIGatron) who swept both overall event championships. A 2nd and a 4th place Overall means Murphy just holds onto the championship lead.
Stadium Championship Series West – Anaheim
Every competition at the Angel Stadium of Anaheim was won by either Ryan Anderson (Son-uva Digger), Tyler Menninga (Grave Digger) or Bari Musawwir (Zombie) who sit 1st-2nd-3rd in the standings, in that order. Menninga and Musawwir took home the overall event championships, while Anderson made the highlight reel with this incredible sidewall:
Freestyle Mania Championship Series – Milwaukee
All eight teams got a taste of victory last weekend at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, with at least one driver or FMX rider from each team picking up a competition win throughout the weekend. The driver who kicked it all off was Chuckie Pauken, who got his first ever Monster Jam competition win in the opening JCB Racing event of the weekend. Team Grave Digger took home one overall event championship and leads by 2 points over Team El Toro Loco, which won two of the three overall event championships in Milwaukee.
Arena Championship Series East – Providence
Now we arrive at the two championships where the points leader has built up a bit of a buffer over their closest challenger. Starting with Arena Championship Series East, Jon Zimmer Jr. (Terminal Velocity) won two of the four overall event championships last weekend at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, and now holds a 23-point leader. However, the other two events were won by his closest opponent, MJ Solorio in El Toro Loco, who remains within striking range with a long way left to go. Krysten Anderson (Grave Digger) and Coty Saucier (Dragon) also picked up competition wins.
Arena Championship Series West – Fargo
Blake Granger (Monster Mutt Dalmatian) has now won the last six overall event championships in a row in Arena Championship Series West. Granger took home three of the six competition wins at the Fargo Dome and both overall championships, continuing to pad his points lead. Armando Castro (El Toro Loco) took home a Skills win and a Freestyle win, while Tim Hall Jr. (Jurassic Attack) also continues to have an impressive season with 1 Skills Challenge win this weekend, and 0 steering wheel:
