This 4 truck racing format was the stupidest thing to come out of the brains of Feld Entertainment. Can we just have 1 on 1 racing? I know that it was one night only but damn, these people paid their hard earned money to be entertained, and all that did was confuse them, including me. Incredibly stupid. Also, there is wall protection, and rows of seats are covered. Let Ryan run into the wall protection to save it... It's just a shipping container.

They've got floor level seats/tables behind those containers, they probably didn't want it to get pushed into them and cause any damage

Curious why none of the Triple Threat Series Central drivers are on your list. Justin Sipes in Megalodon has held onto that championship trophy all season with the points lead. And Camden Murphy with Pirate's Curse has also been consistent in his rookie year, not to mention Armando Castro (El Toro Loco) and Ami Houde (Zombie) have also been impressive. Sure they have no stadium experience which does hinder some drivers in Vegas, but some drivers have had breakout performances when they've been unleashed on a big floor. I think that most if not all of those drivers will be in the Double Down Showdown field.  

You missed it but in the blurb I wrote at the beginning I said I was only including people who have previously competed on the Vegas track in some way

^^^ 42 trucks? you sure?

Bruh I said not all of them would make it in

It's been about a month since the NFL season ended, and after reading a bazillion different articles ranking teams or players, I figured I'd try to make my own rankings based on my opinion of who has a shot to win this year. The drivers listed below are either expected or potential competitors in this year's World Finals, and not all of them will be in the field of 32. The list only includes drivers who have competed on the track in at least one form and it is based on a combination of both racing and freestyle skills (sort of a composite score of both).

The Elite:

1. Todd LeDuc | Monster Energy

2. Adam Anderson | Grave Digger

3. Ryan Anderson | Son Uva Digger

These guys aren't just top contenders, they're favorites to walk out of Sam Boyd with both trophies in their hands. To put things into perspective, the last year that one of these guys didn't win a world championship, Tom was still running the classic spikeless Max D body.

The Very Good:

4. Linsey Weenk | Lucas Oil Crusader

5. Coty Saucier | Monster Energy

6. Tom Meents | Max-D

7. Morgan Kane | Grave Digger

8. Neil Elliott | Max-D

9. Marc McDonald | El Toro Loco

Whether or not they've actually won it, these guys have a presence every year and are a considerable threat to take the win. Some of them are more recently developed, while some have been at this level for a long time.

Just Missed the Top:

10. Lee O'Donnell | VP Racing Fuels Mad Scientist

While Lee has been performing very well on recent tours, his Vegas presence hasn't been as high in the past couple of years. So while he's still above the rest of the field, it's not entirely certain if he'll be a top contender or not.

The Contenders:

11. Charlie Pauken | Grave Digger / Monster Mutt

12. BJ Johnson | Gas Monkey Garage

13. Colton Eichelberger | Max-D

14. Cole Venard | Grave Digger

15. Jimmy Creten | Bounty Hunter

16. Pablo Huffaker | Grave Digger / Ride not known at this time

17. Chad Fortune | Soldier Fortune

18. Colt Stephens | FS1 Cleatus

19. Mike Vaters II | Overkill Evolution

On average, these guys have finished middle to upper middle of the pack with a few exceptions. Most of them (Vaters II is an exception, he's at #19 because this is a combination of racing AND freestyle) aren't the first picks to win, but they're not too far from it.

The Hopefuls:

20. Bari Musawwir | Zombie

21. Brianna Mahon | Scooby-Doo / Madusa

22. Candice Jolly | Monster Mutt Dalmatian

23. Jon Zimmer | Dragon

24. Becky McDonough | El Toro Loco

25. Tyler Menninga | Grave Digger

While “surprise” isn't the best term to use when describing the potential these drivers have of winning, lack of recent Vegas production or lack of Vegas experience puts them below others. Despite this, they still have a chance at grabbing the win in March, and sometimes a chance is all you need...

The One-Sided Contenders:

26. Scott Buetow | Team Hot Wheels Firestorm

27. Cam McQueen | Northern Nightmare

28. Jim Koehler | Avenger

29. Steve Sims | Stone Crusher

30. Devin Jones | Barbarian

I'll iterate one more time, this list is based on a combination of presence in both racing and freestyle, and these guys are freestylers. While a freestyle run is only two minutes, that's still probably way longer time than any of these guys will spend on the track on Friday, not counting intros or if one of them flips over.

Too Many Question Marks:

31. Dennis Anderson | Grave Digger

32. Jared Eichelberger | Max-D

33. Bailey Shea | Scooby-Doo

34. Cynthia Gauthier | Monster Mutt Dalmatian

35. Buddy Thompkins | Razin Kane

36. Travis Groth | NEA

37. Kayla Blood | El Toro Loco

38. Tyler Groth | Zombie

39. Eric Swanson | Obsessed

40. Rosalee Ramer | Wild Flower

41. Ryan Disharoon | Saigon Shaker

42. Steven Thompson | Hurricane Force

Obviously the big story here is none other than the Icon himself. It's not certain if Dennis will even drive again at all nonetheless if he'll be back in time for Vegas. Either way, I'm sure we'll see him there in one way or another with it being Digger’s 35th anniversary. The rest of the drivers listed here haven't seen much action on the field other than the Double Down competition. While it's possible that one of them will win. Their presence as a freestyler next to their racing ability on the Vegas track is not known at this time. However, in my opinion this is where Morgan Kane was just four years ago, and considering where he is on this list now, we could see some of these guys and girls move upwards in the coming years.

So there you have it, that's (in my opinion) a list of the drivers based on their capability to win the World Finals this year. Let me know what you think of it!

For a sold out stadium, lackluster show. Probably because of the 2 show weekend. 

I thought it was pretty good, the drivers didn't really hold back too much, they did a lot more than I expected
