i might... and i also might just..... but everything is a might until, MAYBE after Vegas

They better invite Gary Porter and Carolina Crusher. Great driver, he totally deserves the invite and he has been quite good since the past years.

Was it not a big enough indicator when it was supposed to be Madusa's farewell season (chrome paint scheme for her truck) that moved into her not driving but still going to the shows she was scheduled for to not doing any of that and disappearing completely? I have sure as hell enjoyed it!

Or ya know, he clinched with the most points and with the remaining events there aren't enough points for anyone to catch up.

Monster Jam will never run Madusa again, she still owns the name and I highly doubt they'll come to an agreement to let it run. It seems like stakes are a bit high between Monster Jam and Madusa.

My Final 9: 1. FS1 Cleatus - Colt Stephens (If Frank Krmel isn't behind the wheel of the sport's official sponsor truck, this guy better get the call.) 2. Zombie - Bari Musawwir (Pretty obvious) 3. Soldier Fortune - Chad Fortune (Again, pretty obvious) 4. VP Racing Fuels' Mad Scientist - Lee O'Donnell (No comment.) 5. Max-D - Colton Eichelberger (The dude's been killing it all year, so why not?) 6. El Toro Loco - Becky McDonough (If Feld turns this one down again....) 7. Stone Crusher - Steve Sims (He's a veteran, and has one of the highest freestyle averages in the WF. That's why.) 8. Carolina Crusher - Gary Porter (This guy has done amazing in arenas this year, and is very underrated in my opinion.) 9. Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog - Dustin Brown (Whatever happened to this truck? One year and it's gone? This guy deserves to be back for a third year one way or another.)

My final 9: 1. Colton Eichelberger in Max-D - pretty obvious to be honest... only question is whether they put him in his dad's chassis or his own. Based on his stadium performances (besides Detroit...) I'd prefer him on Tom's chassis. 2. Chad Fortune in Soldier Fortune - Fortune will need to retire or MJ needs to go out of business before he doesn't make Vegas. 3. Lee O' Donnell in VP Racing Fuels Mad Scientist - actually very surprised he hasn't been announced already. Had an amazing season. 4. Bari Musawwir in Zombie - they need a Zombie in the field, and I don't think a Houde or Groth will be put in by any means sooooo... Bari. 5. Colt Stephens in FS1 Cleatus - this is another one I'm surprised hasn't been put in yet. Absolutely amazing season, and is in a major sponsor truck. No-brainer to me. 6. Becky McDonough in El Toro Loco - there's a number of reasons I think this one is a sure-in; female representation, keep her out of her 6th straight DDSD/YGS for her to not win it, ETL is a popular truck so we need multiple. But after this season, I think she's honestly earned a berth. She's had phenomenal performances all season, so I think it's time for her to have a shot in the main field. 7. Chuck Werner in El Toro Loco - oh do I want this one so badly... Chuck has been on a rail this season - he finished 4th behind Morgan, Colton, and Linsey in his tour, and was pretty damn close to the former 2 in points. That's not an easy feat. Plus, with the corkscrew pretty much becoming his MO, that could be sold as his gimmick in freestyle as well. I could also actually see them throwing him in with another body... Alien Invasion, EarthShaker, etc. 8. Ryan Disharoon in Saigon Shaker - this boy has talent. And a new chassis. And some balls. If anyone deserves a berth after just two years competing, it's this truck and this driver. His Detroit runs proves he could very well be a threat to win the freestyle championship, too. 9. Matt Pagliarulo in Jester - after this season, it just seems like something that would/could/should happen. He's had a phenomenal year, probably the best year of all of the trucks/drivers on RKM. His final run in Anaheim screamed to me a run that said "I'm going to Vegas". Also, as cliche as it is, having the whole 'Jester' aesthetic as a competitor in Las Vegas, the gambling/card playing capital of the world, just fits. Honorable mentions I could also see: 1. Bryce Kenny in Mohawk Warrior - do I think he should be in? No. Absolutely not. Has he proven himself to deserve to be in? Nope. Finished 3rd to last in his tour. Wasn't even close. It's just the Great Clips sponsorship that makes this one seem plausible. Really hope not. But could see it. 2. Pablo Huffaker in Something - he won his tour, and has been in Vegas mostly each year in some way or another. I don't think this really will happen, but it's a possibility and I wouldn't be terribly opposed to it. 3. Randy Brown in Something - same as Pablo, except I think this one is much less likely. 4. Gary Porter in Carolina Crusher - this one just sounds fun to me, and lord knows Porter has earned this opportunity. He performed really well in the POD events he was in, so it'd be neat to see how he could do in Vegas again after years away from Sam Boyd. 5. Tristan England in EarthShaker - this seems insanely unlikely, but he is a really great driver. And he's in a new, unique truck so maybe they could put him in for representation? 6. Camden Murphy in Pirate's Curse - literally same exact as Tristan. 7. Eric Swanson in Obsessed - phenomenal year, even won a freestyle on a televised event. That's big points for Vegas contention. However, personally, I just see them maybe waiting 1 more season for him. 8. Rosalee Ramer in Wild Flower - once again, had a great season. Some tough breaks, but overall she had a good showing on TV in the west tour. Same as Swanson, however, I really see them waiting one more season before giving her the nod. 9. Buddy Tompkins in Razin Kane - great season on the west tour, really opened some eyes up to him. Honestly see him being just as likely as Jester. 10. Roy Pridgeon in Ice Cream Mean - same as above, equal opportunity as Jester and RK. 11. Cory Rummel in Rage - this boy is BAD ASS. Would love for him to make it in Vegas, only thing I see is the representation of already 1 Team Scream truck in the show. Ergo, DDSD I think is the likeliest spot for him.

i happen to have made the version with the bowtie not finished but its getting there.

He's getting old. It just happens sometimes. On the topic of Buyten making the field: Even if Monster Jam needed to put Metal Mulisha in, why not put one of the Grave Digger drivers in it? Pablo Huffaker and Randy Brown both won their tours this year so I think they definitely deserve an invite. This would be a perfect chance to get them in the field without driving up the number of Grave Diggers in the show. They already put Pauken in Monster Mutt, one of those two should be in Metal Mulisha.
