No driver has ever started his\/her Monster Jam career with those accolades, so seemingly every year the youngest son of the \u201cThe Icon\u201d Dennis Anderson continues to add to his record and legacy. When it was announced that Weston would compete on the Freestyle Mania Championship Series in 2026, the question of whether Team Grave Digger could come out on top of this exciting team format was bouncing around social media.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One year ago, Anderson led Arena Championship Series West from the first event to its last, going coast-to-coast and once again earning an automatic bid to compete at Monster Jam World Finals. Although this year it took nearly a month, Grave Digger, and Weston are back in a familiar place: On top of the Freestyle Mania Championship Series standings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After sweeping last weekend\u2019s events in Newark, Weston is primed and ready to defend his series championship and lead Grave Digger to a mystical and magical fifth series win in a row and possibly win that elusive World Finals Championship that could elevate him to the top of the stratosphere among the sports greatest names, which include his father and his brothers, Adam and Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To repeat as series champion though, the North Carolina native will need to continuously rely on his FMX teammate Noah Bakken for crucial points. Bakken stepped up the plate at the Prudential Center, winning all three \u201cBest Upright Trick\u201d competitions which helped elevate the team to the top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although it won\u2019t be easy to add more hardware to the trophy case in Kill Devil Hills, NC, especially with Fernando Martinez and Tony Ochs coming for the gold, Anderson is now comfortable where he has spent the majority of his career, on top of the points standings and reminding every superstar in Monster Jam, that he is now and forever a major force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n                          \n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":41824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Weston Anderson Back on Top with FMX Teammate Noah Bakken | News | Monster Jam\u00ae<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Weston Anderson has won four straight series championship trophies.
