The Overall Event Championship was won by points leader Tristan England (JCB DIGatron) on both days, with him sweeping all of the events on Sunday. Cole Thompson (ThunderROARus) and Joe Foley (El Toro Loco) were able to secure the JCB Racing and Skills Challenge wins respectively on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Monster Jam Atlanta Highlights | April 11-12th, 2026\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gEH3pxKONzU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterjam.com\/en-us\/results\/atlanta-ga-echopark-speedway-apr-11-12-2026\/\">Full Event Results<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stadium Championship Series West \u2013 Inglewood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tyler Menninga (Grave Digger) swept the event at SoFi Stadium, winning JCB Racing, Skills, and Freestyle.
