Beginning in 2012, growing interest in Kid KJ and his professional 1/2 scale monster truck, the Monster Bear, has led Uncle Tod Motorsports to expand its team to three trucks. Sir Crush-A-Lot and the Demolition Diva have joined the team to create Kid KJ & The Lil’ Mighty Monsters.
Kid KJ is now joined behind the wheel by younger brother, 6-year-old Jake Olson-Weston, driver of Sir Crush-A-Lot, and girl drivers 9-year-old Morgan Matheny and 14-year-old Cassie Berry, who split seat time in the new Demolition Diva.

The most exciting thing I did as a kid was play Pong on Atari. They ought to change KJ’s nickname to “Lucky Kid.”
Such a great bunch of young kids getting to have fun. They were such an attraction last year, and this year it’s grown so much. The future is looking bright for Jake, KJ and Cassie.
Thats Great! but just wait untill little weston anderson gets used to his litlle monster!
Chris, by all means…Teeny took a spin in KJ’s truck a few months ago up at Dennis’s place, and we are all excited about having Weston drive. Whether he is part of the Team Kid KJ team is still to be determined, but without a doubt, if he has the Anderson blood, him and Kid KJ will be great on the battlefield. KJ’s new truck is being delivered this week with a pumped up version of the Grand National Supercharged V-6. It is expected to be test driven by Teeny as well. And coming up in the next few months is the delivery of Kid KJ’s V-8 powered small block chevy with a 6-71 blower. As you know, the Pro Mini Monsters are here to stay and a complete line of 6 trucks will be out within the next few months with over a dozen before the year is out. Its college ball and NFL ball…room for both. Thanks for your comments Chris. Uncle Tod
