No, it\u2019s not Weston Anderson, and his attempt to win a fifth straight series championship to start his career, it\u2019s the driver directly under him in the series points standings. His name is Tony Ochs, and he is making a lot of noise around Monster Jam.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ochs went on the run of all runs when he won seven consecutive event championships, and nine out of the last 11. In the process, Tony gained valuable ground against the seemingly unbeatable Anderson and is withing striking distance of earning the series points lead. On the Freestyle Mania Championship Series, a Monster Jam driver is teamed up with a Freestyle Motocross rider. Ochs has had two great riders join him on Team JCB DIGatron. TJ Tiffany has been a part of Monster Jam for a long time and is well respected among his FMX peers. While Tiffany has stepped away temporarily to do some stunt riding in the movie world, Josh Headford has filled in admirably and they both have more than held up their end of the bargain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Team JCB DIGatron continues to dominate both Monster Jam and FMX aspects of this incredibly fun championship series. If the wins continue to pile up, perhaps Ochs will grab the attention of the World Finals selection committee. After 10 years, Tony is still looking to earn his first main field opportunity at the biggest event of the year. With an expanded field coming this season, and the popular driver also currently second on the International Series, this might be the year he gets that chance. How fitting would it be if the US Army Veteran gets to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday on Independence Day with a chance to win his first World Championship? Be sure to check out Team JCB DIGatron this weekend in Grand Rapids on the Monster Jam YouTube Channel and our live streaming Monster Jam channel partners.<\/p>\n                          \n
