Weston Anderson (Grave Digger) kicked things off with the Overall Event Championship Friday night, despite not willing any of the competitions. Also surprisingly was that this would be his only Overall Event Championship of the weekend. Saturday started with Kayla Blood (Sparkle Smash) winning the JCB Racing competition and then going on to win the Overall Event Championship. Saturday Evening saw Mike Christensen (Vendetta) pick up his second of three JCB Racing wins throughout the weekend, but then Armando Castro (El Toro Loco) came back to sweep the rest of the night. Having suffered technical issues on Saturday evening, Kayla Blood bounced back in Sparkle Smash to win Donuts, Freestyle, and her second Overall Event Championship of the weekend on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterjam.com\/en-us\/results\/los-angeles-ca-crypto-com-arena-july-19-21-2024\/\">Results<\/a><\/p>\n                          \n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section \n  id=\"main-custom-content-block\"\n  style=\"padding-top:px;padding-bottom:30px;background-color:;color:;\"\n>\n  <div class=\"container container-c\">\n    <div class=\"split\" style=\"gap:px;\">\n                        <div class=\"side \">\n\n                                          <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sparkle Smash ? with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BKTtires?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BKTTires<\/a> Freestyle win to end the weekend in LA! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MonsterJam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MonsterJam<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MonsterTruck?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MonsterTruck<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hlgnv2CVJl\">pic.twitter.com\/hlgnv2CVJl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Monster Jam (@MonsterJam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MonsterJam\/status\/1815153712488149319?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n                          \n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section \n  id=\"main-custom-content-block\"\n  style=\"padding-top:px;padding-bottom:30px;background-color:;color:;\"\n>\n  <div class=\"container container-c\">\n    <div class=\"split\" style=\"gap:px;\">\n                        <div class=\"side \">\n\n                                          <p><strong>Pensacola, FL \u2013 Pensacola Bay Center<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eight Monster Jam drivers competed in three events over the weekend, with five of them walking away with competition wins.
