Anaheim, CA (February 8, 2015) – It was a beautiful night at Angels Stadium filled with close races, huge freestyle air, and a celebrity guest stunt from Fantasy Factory’s Rob Dyrdek. Max-D\u2120 could not be stopped as it doubled down winning racing and freestyle, and now sits on the top of the Monster Jam\u00ae Fox Sports 1 Championship Series points. Lucas Oil Crusader\u00ae moved to second place in the series standings.<\/p>\n

Grave Digger\u00ae qualified first, gaining a point and is tied for third with Monster Energy. Zombie\u00ae pulled off its third Monster Jam Obstacle Course win and added another point to his overall score. But tonight, it was Max-D who dominated racing defeating Monster Mutt\u00ae, Titan and Grave Digger in the final round to win the Monster Jam Racing Championship and 2 points.<\/p>\n

It didn’t end there for Max-D\u2120. Not only did Max-D have big air and a great freestyle run, but Max-D had two huge saves that catapulted it to the hot seat with a 37. Max-D held onto the lead for the rest of the night, winning the Monster Jam Freestyle competition, doubled down, grabbed a total of four points in the series, and now holds on to the top spot of the series.<\/p>\n

“The year started off a little slow, but everything about the truck is on point now thanks to my crew,” said Max-D\u2120 driver Neil Elliott. “The series is still up for grabs, but I plan on doing what I can to hold on to the Monster Jam Fox Sports 1 Series lead.”<\/p>\n

On the line for the 16 Monster Jam trucks at the end of the 9-city Monster Jam FOX Sports 1 Championship Series are four automatic bids to Monster Jam World Finals\u2120 XVI at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium on March 26-28, and the first ever series championship.<\/p>\n
