Colton was off to a VERY good start, but crashed early. And no, Nicole did not do a backflip. She headed straight for the jump in the front and and made that dog go nuts. I guess one Scooby Snack wasn't enough for luck.

These are all the scores that I was able to type. Other drivers I could not get their scores in because I had to go to bed. Overkill Evolution - 33.5 (31.5 + 2) Grave Digger (Charlie) - 30.5 (27 + 3.5) Monster Energy (Coty) - 29.5 (27 + 2.5) Max-D (Morgan) - 26.5 (24.5 + 2) Titan - 24.5 (21 + 3.5) Monster Mutt Rottweiler - 23 (21.5 + 1.5) Monster Mutt - 22 Avenger - 22 Grave Digger (Colton) - 21.5 Soldier Fortune - 20 (19 + 1) Monster Mutt Dalmatian - 20 FOX Sports 1 Cleatus - 17 (16 + 1) Captain's Curse - 15.5 Zombie Hunter - 14.5 Stone Crusher - 14 Bounty Hunter - 13 Zombie - 12 Northern Nightmare - 11.5 Mohawk Warrior - 8.5 Scooby-Doo - 7 Barbarian - 6.5 Doom's Day - 6

The 32 trucks will be rated by color for me. You'll know what they got by the colors that they get as shown below: 40+ = UNBEATABLE!!!! 35-39 = AWESOME! Hopefully nobody will get higher than that! 30-34 = Nice!! However, the others will be coming after your score. 25-29 = Very good! However, your run may not be good enough for a world championship. 20-24 = Solid, but you could do better! 15-19 = Either you crashed early, those were bad judges, or you barely showed any effort. 10-14 = You definitely crashed early or something broke. Oh well! 5-9 = Oh dear! Either you broke after the first jump, or you crashed on the first jump! Better luck next year!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, dude. The preview said there is going to be over 100 trucks. Scooby could be one of them.

To be honest, I'm disappointed with this track because there aren't really any very large ramps. It's going to be very hard to score above at least 35 this year

I'm predicting either Monster Mutt or Metal Mulisha to win Freestyle. THEY'RE INSANE AT IT!

In deep shock after I heard that Todd won. Also, HOW DID COTY BEAT A GUY WHO MADE IT INTO THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 2 YEARS AGO!? That is just jaw-dropping.

Quarter-Finals Matches Metal Mulisha vs. Max-D (Meents) Lucas Oil Crusader vs. Monster Mutt Monster Energy (Saucier) vs. El Toro Loco Son-Uva Digger vs. Monster Energy (Bradshaw)

HOLY TORTILLA!!!!!! MEENTS JUST DEFEATED DOOM'S DAY BY ONLY 0.005 SECONDS!!!!! WHAT AN UPSET!!!

Another surprising victory, folks; George Balhan just lost to Rod Schmidt. Balhan was one of my guesses for the semis, oh well.

WHAT THE!? FANS ARE IN SHOCK AFTER DUSTIN BROWN DEFEATED THE ICON OF MONSTER JAM IN ROUND ONE!!! I am just speechless.

In addition to Monster Energy winning the YGS, Todd Leduc is your fastest qualifier for the first time since 2012! Good save from Scooby in that encore!

By Just LOOKING at that Racing track, you can tell it's probably going to be 2 times worse for freestyle. Plus, did I say it will? No. That was a prediction.

Bad News for Freestyle: Freestyle track MAY (not saying it will) be another monster. Backflip ramps will be absent for the racing track, but they will be added for freestyle.

Practice runs for tomorrow night's YGS were today. Most of the drivers did very well.

The hype officially begins tomorrow, and according to this: http://www.monsterjam.com/garage (Scott Douglass' Official Odds) Monster Energy, Mohawk Warrior, and Hooked have the greatest chances of winning in the YGS.

WHAT!?!?! No Crushstation this year?

WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO TO THAT TRACK!

Lets hope he doesn't have a wild crash like he did in practice last year.

I don't know if David Smith is retired or not, because we didn't see him at all throughout the year. Also, for those who don't know yet, Travis Groth qualified for YGS:

If you think this is a terrible YGS lineup, then DOOM ON YOU!

WELP, Coty and BJ are both doomed. Who's next? Tim Mente? Steven and Tim are teammates, you know.

Still though, I'm glad they put Patriot in YGS at least.

The Patriot: Should've got into WF. He had a very impressive freestyle last year, and now there's a 90% chance he won't be in World Finals XVI? That stinks (He hasn't been in YGS before, but I still hope he gets at least a good amount of luck). NEA: A truck that TRULY deserved to be in World Finals. He won racing 2 times in a row this year in STADIUM, and they put him in YGS?

*APPLAUSE*
