With two decades of Monster Jam experience behind him,\u00a0Adam Anderson<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has almost done it all. However, one thing he has never done is compete against one of his siblings for a full season. That will change in 2024, with Adam (Grave Digger) and Ryan Anderson (Son-uva Digger) squaring off in Stadium Championship Series West.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve competed together here and there, but never a full season have I been on the same tour with any of my siblings, so I think it\u2019s gonna be a lot of fun,\u201d said Adam. \u201cHonestly, I feel like my Racing is stronger than Ryan\u2019s. Not always. We both have our days. I feel like in Freestyle, sometimes Ryan just has that reckless abandonment which I wish I could do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I think I\u2019m processing in my head, you know, I want all of these families, these kids to be able to see Grave Digger for a moment before it gets destroyed, whereas I think Ryan doesn\u2019t think about that sometimes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I will say this. If you go back and look at most of times that Ryan and I are competing at the same place, I feel my Freestyles are inherently better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe can carry each other a little bit, even though we\u2019re competing against each other, we kind of can feed off of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adam is one of the most decorated drivers in Monster Jam history, and he isn\u2019t slowing down. In 2023, he clinched the Stadium Championship Series Red title. However, it has been since 2018 since he last added to his Monster Jam World Finals trophy cabinet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a few tour championship scattered here and there in recent years, that I\u2019d almost prefer a World Finals Championship,\u201d says Adam. \u201cI\u2019ve always been the racer. I\u2019d love to take the Racing title. But, it\u2019s always been a dream to get both, I would love to win Racing and Freestyle. They\u2019re adding these other competitions, and it would be cool to win one of those, but I know I\u2019m not the strongest in those.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I was in it [in 2023] and the truck couldn\u2019t hold up to what I had to dish out. We had some issues here and there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI felt great in practice. I wasn\u2019t always the top. I don\u2019t ever care. I\u2019ve started at the very bottom and then gone all the way to win a World Championship. That, in my eyes, is one of the hardest things to do is start from the beginning of the bracket and make it to the end. Not getting any bye runs. But I felt good and I knew I was going to be able to be smooth and consistent. And then the locker disengaging in the rear end in the final turn, it lost it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With Adam competing on the same tour as his brother Ryan, and two decades of Monster Jam experience behind him, it will be fun seeing what he can do in the black-and-green wrecking machine on Stadium Championship Series West in 2024.\u00a0Their first event will be in San Francisco on January 6.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
