If we do that, we\u2019ll take a lot more Overalls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overall Event wins are certainly an obtainable goal for Bryce Kenny in 2024, but what about the tour championship as a whole?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny top five finish for any tour is good because it means you are consistent. It means that the guys out back were making sure the truck was 100 percent for you to go out there and perform. But you can\u2019t control this stuff. You can\u2019t control the fans scores, you can\u2019t control anything beyond your approach, and you just hope that the truck stays together and the fans give you good scores, right? So that\u2019s the reason why a number less than a top five means something was missing. Either the fans weren\u2019t enjoying your style, or the truck wasn\u2019t 100 percent, or as a driver you just didn\u2019t do your job. But if all three of those things are consistent, you\u2019ll absolutely finish top five and that should be the target. And then if you\u2019re within striking distance of first, then that\u2019s when you go out there and roll the dice a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video\">\n<div class=\"js-reframe\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"675222012\" title=\"Bryce Kenny sends it into orbit ?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C7XnKKSuT90?autoplay=1&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.monsterjam.com\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-625127_75=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-20=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-33=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-40=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While Bryce Kenny performed strongly in 2023 and made it to World Finals, things then soon fell apart, with him being unable to even start his Freestyle run.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was more disappointed in Racing, because that\u2019s when it happened. That\u2019s when the issue came up and it took me out. I was fast in Racing, and I really believed that was my day to win a Racing World Championship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when the truck bit me, you know, you just got to get it out of your head and say, \u2018alright, let\u2019s go find the issue. We still have another competition today, and we\u2019ll feel sorry for ourselves later.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then when we thought we found it, and the guys did a great job \u2013 it&#8217;s not a knock on anyone, it\u2019s just one of those weird gremlins \u2013 to come out for Freestyle to have that shot at redemption for what had transpired in Racing \u2013 that was what was so hard about it, that I didn\u2019t get that chance to come out there and perform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, Bryce Kenny is not letting this lowlight set him back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was the keynote speaker at the Great Clips convention this Fall. I got to show them not just the highlights of the season, but I also showed them some of the lowlights like what happened at World Finals. And if it encourages one person out there to shift gears and find that next gear they didn\u2019t know they had and be able to get out of the difficult situation&#8230; it\u2019ll still be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m not going to waste the pain. We\u2019re going to get something from it, if just at the very least it\u2019s encouraging someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all great away from the track, but what about at the track? Well, Bryce Kenny says that he has his eyes still set on a World Finals Championship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The season championships are awesome, but everyone cares about World Finals Championships. That&#8217;s how you add your name in the history books.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, I am most confident in Racing. Freestyle would be because it was just my day. Like everything rolled my way. You got the &#8216;wow\u2019 moment, the truck stuck together, you&#8217;re rolling the dice more in Freestyle. Those things you control less.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Racing, you can control more because it&#8217;s not up to anyone judging you. It&#8217;s driver vs. driver, driver vs. machine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo even though I think the sport as a whole cares more about Freestyle, I&#8217;m more confident on the Racing side in terms of being able to be in more control of the result. If I could pick and choose, I think I&#8217;ll get a Racing World Finals Championship first, but if it&#8217;s my day for Freestyle, then trust me, I&#8217;ll be the happiest guy in the world to take on the Freestyle World Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterjam.com\/en-US\/events\/san-antonio-tx\/jan-13-2024-jan-14-2024\">Stadium Championship Series East
