"The possibilities are endless with Monster Jam. These things are like roller coasters we get to control," shared Tristan England, a driver who's been competing for nine years.
England says he tries to give fans an exciting experience when he's behind the wheel of his 12,000 pound truck.
During the event, there's a freestyle competition which is when drivers have two minutes to do whatever they want. That's what England says is the biggest difference between Monster Jam and other motorsports.
