    Hi, during my past year off and on I took time to explore my near and dear custom! Not sure if I'll be running it a lot if at all but it was fun pushing the concept of the truck to what I had always imaged!

    Everyone is a human and makes mistakes, gets annoyed, isn't in great moods or what ever it is.  Being on such a strict schedule, meeting literally thousands of people every event day, you can't give 110% and be a saint to everyone, it's just not possible.  Some make it seem that way on tv or in interviews, but personalities are also different.  Some just have more energy and enthusiasm than others.  

    I'm sure not all drivers love pit parties and autograph lines.  Sucks to hear it and think about it since we all are fans and love the industry, but they have EXTREMELY long days and nights, both fly in drivers and especially those who own and work on their own stuff.

    I understand this side completely, I haven't experienced first hand the amount of stress and work they put in during the week, but I've chatted about it with crews. While I understand emotions can get the best of people, this is also part of the job and I would expect everyone to do their job and do it well. Like every other job involving customer communication, it's expected that the customer is respected and treated well, right? Why should FELD allow their employee to disrespect paying fans.

    Damon is not and has never been the PC child friendly MJ driver. He was a racer and I think that rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way. Take a trip though any real Motorsport garage where big money is at stake and Damon would seem like an angel. Every series that has competition for million dollar contracts, sponsors,  media trying to make a story, all while trying to beat other rival teams with the same expectations as yours results in super competitive personalities. Probably had good reason to trash talk Dennis' racing ability. Once he got out of his ancient PEI he and adam were the two fastest almost every weekend on every type of track.

    Racers are a different breed, those who do it on talent rather than daddy's money/achievements are usually super competitive and care about only one thing and thats winning. Everything else isn't their problem, their job is to win. 

    Not saying their are not nice racers out there, but the number that have been rude, said bad things about other competitors, and a slew of other 'naughty' things far out number the nice ones. 

    While I agree, this is a very child focused environment that tries to really encourage driver to fan interaction, straight up turning down fans shouldn't be a thing

    Steve Sims just beat Ryan Anderson in the semis in Tampa... Cleanly. No joke...

    Stone Crusher vs Scarlet Bandit in the Semis. Is this 2008?

    Stone Crusher advances to the finals...

    The final round= Bakugan vs Stone Crusher

    Bakugan wins a shady race...

    Rigged? Maybe. Idk. I dont care.

    Because clipping a car in the first turn and spinning in the second is rigged.

    My thoughts on the monster truck industry

    Unscripted or not, it’s still not real racing. It’s like WWE. None of the drivers/teams care who wins. They’re not competing for anything. They’re putting on a show. The driver’s job isn’t going to be in jeopardy if he/she loses. They may “really race” when they’re out there. But they really don’t at the same time. They pretend to race. Like I said, I love monster trucks, but I don’t like the sport it became. 

    Sure they aren't racing for a prize money (not that we know of), but their still racing for points, those points still count as something. So in reality saying they are just racing because they're told isn't quite true.
