\"15<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 2026 Monster Jam season is well underway as we head down the high-octane \u201cRoad to World Finals XXV.\u201d Deep within the highlights and viral moments are the continued stories of two of the most popular trucks in Monster Jam\u2019s storied history, El Toro Loco and Son-uva Digger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"El<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

El Toro Loco<\/strong><\/a> celebrates 25 glorious years in the sport which kicked off back in 2001 when the legendary Lupe Soza drove the truck in Lafayette, LA, for the first time sparking a massive popularity wave in Monster Jam known fondly as \u201cEl Toro Loco Nation.\u201d Soza would lead \u201cThe Crazy Bull\u201d to its first world championship in Freestyle at World Finals V, while Armando Castro would bring two more world championship trophies to Team El Toro Loco in 2019 and 2024.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

El Toro Loco has seen a star-studded roster of drivers come and go including Marc McDonald, Bari Musawwir, Damon Bradshaw, and Chuck Werner and now features representatives across all six Monster Jam tours. The six-ton fiery bull is in good hands with Armando Castro, Fernando Martinez, and MJ Solorio leading the Hispanic fan base into the next quarter-century, while Jamey Garner, Joe Foley, and Peter Nyman anchor the independent and international side. With these phenomenal drivers behind the wheel, El Toro Loco is primed to kick off another wild 25-year run.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Son-uva<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of wild runs, arguably no truck in Monster Jam history has had more than Ryan Anderson\u2019s Son-uva Digger<\/strong><\/a>. Debuting at World Finals XII in 2011, Son-uva Digger became an extension of the iconic legacy created by Grave Digger founder Dennis Anderson. Ryan wanted his own identity as opposed to his siblings, who have all made their mark behind the wheel of a Grave Digger Monster Jam truck, so Son-uva Digger was born and so was an unmatched 15-year run of dominance in the sport.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beginning as a mud truck, Son-uva Digger would become a feared force in Monster Jam which it still is today. Ryan has won five series championships to go along with five World Finals Championships and there is no sign of the blue headlights losing steam anytime soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over the last 15 years, Ryan Anderson and Son-Uva Digger have followed the path of Dennis Anderson and Grave Digger, which has led to carnage, chaos, and championships, while managing to carve their own legacy as one of the greatest pairings between driver and truck this sport has ever seen. Congratulations to Ryan Anderson and Son-Uva Digger on 15 great years of destruction! Monster Jam fans worldwide cannot wait to see what\u2019s next for the team out of Kill Devil Hills, NC.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
