EVENT NOTES
Neil Elliott and Max-D added France to the impressive list of countries where they’ve won Monster Jam events by claiming the overall event championship in front of an excited crowd witnessing Monster Jam in Lyon for the 2nd straight year. Max-D beat Grave Digger’s Morgan Kane in the racing finals before winning the Two-Wheel Skills challenge to amass a big early lead in event points and held on to take the overall title. Grave Digger edged Cynthia Gauthier and Monster Mutt Dalmatian by .042 in the fans scoring of freestyle to take that victory. Three events into the 2018 Monster Jam World Tour has produced 3 different winners with Elliott joining Todd LeDuc’s Monster Energy (Frankfurt) and Grave Digger’s Kane (Cardiff) as Overall Event Champions so far.
