Todd LeDuc\/Megalodon Stars & Stripes -2025 JCB Racing World Finals Champion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There had been rumors floating around the online Monster Jam communities about Todd\u2019s future in the sport, and those rumors were put to rest on Thursday as Todd officially announced at the press conference that he was stepping away as an active driver before receiving a well-deserved \u201cLifetime Achievement Award.\u201d Not many athletes get the honor of going out a winner, much less a champion, but Todd LeDuc was on a mission and Friday night he dominated his bracket from the red lane and carried that momentum over to Saturday night in a final showdown with the reigning and defending JCB Racing Champion, Zack Garner. Front-steer issues led Wild Side to an early exit in the final race but that does not detract from LeDuc\u2019s final race in his storied Monster Jam career. Now a three-time World Finals Champion, Todd has officially cemented his place in Monster Jam history as one of the all-time greats.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Tristan England\/JCB DIGatron \u2013 2025 USC 2-Wheel Skills Challenge Champion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tristan England has been on the run of a lifetime. It started back in 2023 at World Finals XXII when he took Earth Shaker to the BKT Racing Championship and continued later that year when he was named the Most Valuable Driver at the Monster Jam Superstar Challenge. In 2024, he would get a brand-new ride in the form of JCB DIGatron and compete, admirably, on his first stadium series, once again making it to final round of the JCB Racing Championship at World Finals. This year saw Tristan find a new gear on the track, winning the first Stadium Series Championship of his career which culminated in winning the Utah Sports Commission 2-Wheel Skills Challenge World Finals Championship on Friday night, making England a two-time champion. So, what does this mean for the Paris, Texas native? It means he stands tall, cowboy hat included of course, as the most skilled driver in Monster Jam when it comes to making his 12,000 machine defy logic and gravity on two BKT tires. Tristan led all stadium competitors in the 2025 season with 11 skills wins, and number 12 could not have come at a better time, earning JCB DIGatron its first World Finals Championship.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Ryan Anderson\/Son-uva Digger – 2025 Lucas Oil High Jump Champion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of defying gravity, is there anyone who does it better than Ryan Anderson? Son-uva Digger changed the way drivers attack the high jump ramp three years ago when his patented \u201cbrake check\u201d jump earned him his first Lucas Oil High Jump World Finals Championship. He would go on to double down the following year, before Colt Stephens swooped in and took the championship one year ago. Talking to Ryan, earlier in the week, it was clear he wanted his Lucas Oil High Jump Championship back and it showed on the track as he once again launched Son-uva Digger into the Salt Lake City stratosphere. This is Ryan\u2019s fifth World Finals Championship which ties his brother Adam for second all-time to Tom Meents. With the win he also surpassed his dad, Dennis Anderson, which is a huge honor in its own right. As Ryan Anderson continues to build on his legacy, it\u2019s highly unlikely that his championship winning days are coming to end any time soon. How many World Finals titles do you think Son-uva Digger will win before Ryan rides off into the sunset?<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Blake Granger\/Monster Mutt Dalmatian – 2025 BKT Freestyle Champion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blake Granger is making a habit out of making history in Monster Jam. In all its glorious lore, Monster Jam has never seen a dual champion in the same year. That is until Granger got on a domestic series while simultaneously repeating as the International Series Champion. All year long on Arena Championship Series East, Blake dominated in all facets of competition. He is a confident driver with a chip on his shoulder and a desire to earn and keep respect. That combination is a championship worthy formula that propelled Monster Mutt Dalmatian to the East Series title. And, as we saw in Salt Lake City on Saturday night, that was only just the beginning of Blake Granger\u2019s championship dreams. In a carnage and chaos filled run, the Lafayette, LA native won over the fans and expert judging panel in one of the highlights of Saturday\u2019s incredible festivities. When the score came in, putting \u201cDalmatian Nation\u201d at the top of the leader board, the excitement, passion, and competitiveness that Granger exudes was on full display as he celebrated on the track. To close out the weekend, Blake was presented with his gold medal and championship trophy. He was also presented with respect which he has earned and legendary status which he will keep. Blake Granger is here to stay folks and when it comes to freestyle, right now there is no one better than the BKT Freestyle World Finals Champion.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
