Monster Trucks Set to Rumble In Monroe

(Monroe, MI) Monster trucks return to the 2010 Monroe County Fair after a packed grandstand saw some of the best action in Michigan last year. 2009 Racing Winner Jon Zimmer will drive his Amsoil Shock Therapy monster truck against a stacked field of trucks including 2009 Freestyle Winners Jocelyn Perrin in High Maintenance and Jim Koehler in Avenger. “Its going to be a big show, big crowds, the big names of the sport going at it,” said Zimmer. “We’re all based from Michigan so that makes us want to win and run even harder for the fans,” he added. The action starts at 7 PM on Friday night, August 6th.

This year the Midwest Monster Truck Events group has compiled the largest and best lineup of trucks with names like Avenger, Brutus, High Maintenance, Amsoil Shock Therapy, Excaliber, Spike, and Wrecking Crew! Race fans can expect to see these mechanical beasts go vertical in a tailgate ripping wheelie contest and then go head to head in Chicago-Style bracket racing until the winner is crowned. But that’s not all, last is freestyle! These 10,000lb trucks will unleash their 1500 horsepower engines in an all out freestyle spectacle flying over everything in sight.

Tickets are now available at the Monroe County Fair box office. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under. So come check out one of the biggest summer events in Michigan!
