The Monster Jam World Finals is an annual monster truck event held in late March at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. It is the championship event of the Advanced Auto Parts Monster Jam series. It consists of racing and freestyle segments, and the winner of each is considered the series champion in that division for the coming year. It is the highest profile monster truck event in the country and draws tremendous media attention as well as criticism from those who dislike its destructive reputation.
Originally only 16 trucks were invited to compete in the event, however 20 were selected in 2005, and since 2006, 24 have been invited annually. Trucks and drivers are selected based on their performances over the winter season, which runs from January into early March. When multiple drivers for the same team or truck are selected, they are typically placed into other trucks which travel with their primary vehicle (Grave Digger drivers Charlie Pauken, Chad Tingler, and Randy Brown have competed in the World Finals in Monster Mutt, Monster Mutt Dalmatian, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle respectively, and teammate Pablo Huffaker won the 2007 Freestyle Championship driving Captain's Curse). Many more trucks are invited to be displayed during the "Pit Party" festivities in the days prior to the event.
The stature of the event leads to extremes in both competitions. The racing track starts in the parking lot behind the locker rooms of the stadium, and features a long straightaway with speeds reaching over 70 MPH. The freestyle track layout is typically the most extreme all season, with several large and unique obstacles, often producing a multitude of crashes. The scoring system is also modified for the event, with seven judges (1 for bonus points) and the lowest and highest scores dropped and up to 5 bonus points for a maximum possible score of 45 (not including tiebreakers), as opposed to three judges and a maximum score of 30 for the regular season.
It is sometimes debated between the die-hard fans that the Monster Jam World Finals is illegitimate, or unfair, as the event is an "INVITE ONLY", and there is no points series to determine who is entitled to compete. Another controversy is that the parent company, FELD Motorsports, owns a majority of the trucks that are initially invited to participate in the event. One last factor is that the competitors are not from around the world, with most of the drivers being based out of the United States. However, this is often countered by the fact that Monster Jam participates in a world tour(which consists of the United States, Canada, and Europe).

[edit] References
- ^ Black Stallion was chosen by popular vote from the Thunder National series to attend the World Finals. However, due to prior bookings it was unable to attend.
- ^ Bobby Parr drove the truck in racing while Frank Krmel drove it in freestyle.
- ^ The original Monster Mutt and its Dalmatian variant competed as separate trucks for this event, the first time two trucks with the same name have competed in the World Finals.
- ^ Pablo Huffaker won the 2007 World Finals Freestyle Championship in this truck the previous year, and Alex Blackwell drove it during the regular season.
- ^ Pastrana 199 ran in racing while Nitro Circus ran in freestyle, and Travis Pastrana freestyled the new Nitro Circus truck.
- ^ Adam Anderson had what could be one of the most violent crashes anyone could ever see in racing and could not return, so Chad Tingler substituted for him in freestyle.
- ^ Advanced Auto Parts wanted to give two of their teammates a chance to win a title, so Frank Krmel drove during racing and Lupe Soza performed in freestyle.
