Monster Jam is coming to New Jersey

If you like big trucks and loud noises, do I have an event for you!

It was just announced that the Monster Jam Arena Championship East is coming to the Prudential Center in Newark in January.

While there will obviously be competition between the trucks, the organizers also say:

The excitement begins at the Monster Jam Pit Party held on Saturday and Sunday. Fans can see the massive trucks up close, meet their favorite drivers and crews, get autographs, take pictures and enjoy other family-friendly activities. This fun-filled experience is the only place that allows people to get up close access to the Monster Jam teams and get an insider’s look at how these trucks are built to stand up to the competition.

One of the trucks competing is Weston Anderson’s Gravedigger:

Another competitor is Armando Castro in El Toro Loco:

There will also be four other drivers/trucks to be named later.

What can fans expect:

…fans will be on the edge of their seats as world-class drivers show off crazy skills and all-out racing in fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship. Engineered to perfection, the 12,000-pound Monster Jam trucks push all limits in Freestyle, Skills, Donuts and Racing competitions. The Arena Series East Champion will receive a highly coveted automatic bid to the prestigious Monster Jam World Finals® to compete for the title of World Champion. The 2023 Monster Jam World Finals will be held in Nashville on July 1.
