ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s time again for the biggest and baddest trucks around to compete in the Monster Jam World Finals at Camping World Stadium on May 21-22.
The stadium is being transformed with over 7,500 yards of dirt being poured. That is about 550 truckloads of dirt weighing 22.5 million pounds. The track takes over a week to complete.

For the first time ever, the track will feature a “figure 8 over-under” design with a 15-foot high ramp. This will allow the trucks to jump over each other during the races. The different competitions include Racing, Freestyle, High Jump and Skills.
“All 24 drivers are trying to outdo the next, both in racing and in freestyle,” Monster Jam Stadium Operations Director Scott Olinski said. “You never know what you’re going to see. You have those few moments: the bicycles, the wheelies, the big air. But all the drivers are thinking about what they can do to ‘Wow’ the crowd and win themselves a championship.”
