鈥淸This] is keeping me alive,鈥� said Anderson. 鈥淚鈥檓 getting up there in age but these young guys give me a run for my money.鈥�

Over a 32-year career, crashes happen and trucks break down, but they are just fixed up before every show and when they鈥檙e not performing, they鈥檙e in the shop.

鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have time to get scared,鈥� said Anderson. 鈥淚t鈥檚 done, it鈥檚 over, you just fix what you broke.鈥�

The other monster trucks included in the event are: California Kid, Spitfire, Sapphire, Rockstar, and Power Up.

It鈥檚 going to be a fun-filled action-packed set of shows.鈥�
