Menninga had last visited the venue in 2019 and his latest effort exceeded the results of the stop four years ago. Menninga added three event championships, but Armando Castro (El Toro Loco) opened the weekend with the Friday night win, preventing the sweep. Castro was a three-time winner in Donut competition throughout the weekend. Mike Christensen (Vendetta) scored a Donut win as well. With Arena Series West having visited Fresno in March, David Olfert (Velociraptor), Bailey Shea (Monster Mutt Dalmatian) and Ashley Sanford (Megalodon) were making return appearances.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">OH, SO CLOSE! ?<\/p>\n<p>Armando Castro had the bull dancing ? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MonsterJam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MonsterJam<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PJsx0pXCAp\">pic.twitter.com\/PJsx0pXCAp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Monster Jam (@MonsterJam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MonsterJam\/status\/1685505959618093057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 30, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Allentown:<\/strong> The PPL Center in Allentown hosted Saturday and Sunday action as several competitors returned from a February visit.
