Many drivers were sliding around in Round 1, but the only upset came when 18th-fastest qualifier Cory Rummell defeated 15th-fastest qualifier John Gordon (Bad Company).<\/p>\n<p>Round 2 was a different story. Most of the top-8 qualifiers that had had bye runs in Round 1 found themselves eliminated in Round 2. The only exceptions were Tom Meents (Max-D), Tyler Menninga (Grave Digger) and Mark List (El Toro Loco)<\/p>\n<p>The quarter-finals began with a huge upset as Meents beat Tristan England (EarthShaker) across the line, but incurred a penalty, allowing England to advance. The remainder of the semi-finalists were all from Team Grave Digger, with Ryan Anderson (Son-uva Digger), Vinson and Menninga making it through.<\/p>\n<p>England was eliminated in the semis as he spun in one of the turns, while Menninga&#8217;s truck coasted to a halt, allowing Vinson to advance.<\/p>\n<p>Right as the final started, the heavens opened, and Ryan Anderson and Brandon Vinson had to race through a downpour. Both drivers spun in the final turn, but it was Vinson who recovered first to take the win.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-align-center\"><span style=\"background-color:#686C74; padding:5px 20px; width: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterjam.com\/en-US\/results\/orlando-fl-camping-world-stadium-may-21-22-2022\" style=\"text-decoration:none; color: #fff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FULL RESULTS<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/challonge.com\/MJWFXXI\/module\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Vinson (Grave Digger) won the Monster Jam World Finals XXI Racing World Championship in a dramatic finale at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
