If you’re a motorsports lover or just an adrenaline-seeker, get ready to experience all of this and more with Monster Jam! Coming to EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta from April 11-12, this is one of the most action-packed motorsports events out there. Whether you’re a Monster Jam expert cheering on your favorite competitor from the sidelines or a newbie, you’re sure to have an incredible time with your crew at this thrilling event.
If this is your first time attending Monster Jam, we’ve created a short guide to help you understand how it works! The excitement kicks off with each of the competitors going around the track for introductions to the crowd. Need a driver to root for? You can check out each of the competitors’ profiles on the Monster Jam website, which dives into their career highlights, fun facts and a short bio. This is a great way to get familiar with each of the drivers before the competition starts. Once the introductions have been made, the action truly begins with the Racing Competition, where drivers race along a course to see who can finish the fastest. Now it wouldn’t be a true race without some challenges, such as obstacles along the track that the drivers have to speed down in a way that doesn’t cause their trucks to flip or roll! For each of the challenges, the competitors will get a score following their performance, which gets added up to determine the overall champion.
Next up is the Skills Challenge, which shows the technical talent of the drivers. They’ll have multiple chances to perform a stunt with at least two wheels in the air before their score is announced. After the technical portion is through, it’s time for the Donut Competition. If you’re imagining a Monster Jam truck going in circles over and over again, you’ve pretty much got the right idea for this challenge! Drivers get to make as many donuts as they can as quickly as possible. This is one of the challenges where you’ll likely see a few trucks topple over! To finish out the thrilling event is the Freestyle Competition, where drivers get to show off their special driving skills. This is one of the most fun challenges since drivers get the freedom to be creative and show off what they can do! You’ll see a variety of tricks from a reverse popper and nose wheelie to many more. Once all of the drivers have had a turn, the Monster Jam champion is calculated and announced to the crowd!
With Monster Jam quickly approaching, now is the time to secure your tickets! There’s also a ton of special add-ons that you can purchase to enhance your experience, like a special Pit Party where you’ll get to meet your favorite drivers, get their autographs and snap a picture along with other family-friendly activities.
