(Las Vegas, NV – Monster Jam PR) – The Metal Mulisha monster truck, driven by Todd LeDuc, set the fastest qualifying time of the night (16:201) and secured the #1 seed heading into Saturday night’s Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam World Finals℠ presented by NGK Spark Plugs at Las Vegas’ Sam Body Stadium. Bari Musawwir, driving Spider-Man, became the inaugural Young Guns Shootout Champion at tonight’s Double Down.
Todd Leduc made the most of a last minute addition to the World Finals field, laying down the fastest qualifying time of the night.
Metal Mulisha laid down the night’s fastest time in the first qualifying run, and Captain’s Curse®, driven by Pablo Huffaker, matched the Metal Mulisha time in its second run. The eventual pole position went to Metal Mulisha by way of tie-breaker and leads the field into tomorrow night’s 13th-annual Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam World Finals. Monster Energy, driven by Damon Bradshaw, takes third position into Saturday.
Pablo Huffaker is back in Captain's Curse for this year's World Finals, and tied for the top spot in qualifying, losing to Leduc on a tie-breaker.
“The Metal Mulisha truck is so fast,” said LeDuc. “I was hitting all of my marks out there tonight, and I am excited for tomorrow night. I would like to thank Brian Deegan for this opportunity.”
In the first ever Monster Jam World Finals Young Guns Shootout at Friday’s Double Down, Musawwir, and Spider-Man, raced to an impressive win over the Advance Auto Parts Grinder, driven by Nicole Johnson.
“I am living a dream here tonight,” said Spider-Man driver Musawwir. “I want to thank my team and family for helping me get to this point in my career.”
Bari Musawwir is the first ever Young Guns Shootout champion after defeating Nicole Johnson in Grinder in the finals.

Aurora, Ill (December 8, 2011) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today that they have teamed up with Marvel Entertainment, LLC to expand the line of branded monster trucks for the 2012 Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam® season to five. Joining the likes of the Spider-Man™ and the two Iron Man™ monster trucks will be none other than the First Avenger, Captain America, as well as the most popular member of the X-Men, Wolverine.
The relationship between Marvel and Monster Jam dates back to 2001 when they teamed up on the creation of the original Spider-Man and Wolverine monster trucks. Since the partnership’s inception, Marvel Super Heroes have continued to make their mark on the Monster Jam circuit, culminating in the re-launch of Spider-Man and debut of Iron Man in 2010.
Chad Fortune moves into the seat of the new Captain America ride for 2012.
The 2012 season proves to be a ground-breaking year for the Monster Jam and Marvel partnership as it will mark the first year that five Marvel themed monster trucks will be competing on the Monster Jam tour at one time. Beginning January 6, all five Marvel Super Hero monster trucks will be set to compete at numerous Monster Jam events each weekend throughout the country.
Captain America will make its Monster Jam debut at the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK. New to the scene in 2012, it will sport its trademark shield and red, white, and blue super-soldier theme. The 2003 Monster Jam World Finals℠ Racing Champion, Wolverine, is making its return to Monster Jam after eight seasons and is ready to dominate once again. The driving forces behind these two super heroes are none other than Monster Jam veterans Chad Fortune in Captain America and Alex Blackwell in Wolverine.
Alex Blackwell jumps behind the wheel or Wolverine as it returns to the Monster Jam truck lineup.
In addition to seeing the 10,000lb super hero monster trucks up close, fans will have the opportunity to purchase merchandise of their favorite Marvel-themed monster trucks including Hot Wheels® die casts, apparel, plush toys, and more.
Monster Jam is the largest touring monster truck property in the world, entertaining over 4,000,000 fans at 350 performances in 10 countries. Monster Jam events can be seen on SPEED and CBS Sports.
