Kreg's Bid For Donut of the Year, Saturday in Baltimore.





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tampa Bay in the Books, Baltimore Next!
Sometimes in sports goes without saying that things could be a little better, Kreg is well aware that applies to his first tour in his new ride. One must remember that Kreg has had a great deal of success in his monsters winning with the Dragon Slayer and Iron Outlaw in many shows against the best competition in the sport. When the opportunity presented itself to jump in Max D, Kreg weighed it against building the New Dragon Slayer and decided to go for it. Knowing Kreg and his desire to please the fans and to always improve it has been challenging to see him wrestle with this season, but he has always had a great attitude and wants to get right back out there and compete week in and out. Tampa Bay was just one of those shows, and Kreg is already on his way to Maryland for this weekends show to once again climb in Max D and take it to the Max for his fans. If you plan on attending please get there safe and come to the pit party and say hi to The BOSS!

The Boss Takes 6 of 9 Events in Salt Lake!




Kreg came home to Salt Lake for the first time during his new contract with Feld, and he did not want to disappoint. The BOSS took all three wheelie contests during the three show stop, but had a little trouble garnering much more during the first two shows. Kreg came out the final day and felt as if he needed to make sure that he put a personal stamp on the final show in his hometown, and despite a smaller floor and few obstacles he would not disappoint. The BOSS worked his way through the field after taking the wheelie contest by storm. First it was Blue Thunder, then Maverick would feel the wrath of the BOSS, and in the end it would be a same team contest that would see Kreg take the win. This set the stage for Kreg to sweep the entire weekend, and with his entire family and many of his fans in attendance he would not disappoint. Kreg commited himself to finishing and drove the truck into the ground. In a manor that could be called militant Kreg hit every obstacle from every angle, and finally blew some cyclone donuts, not once, but twice ending up on the roof and sending Salt lake into the loudest roar of the weekend. It is now off to Tampa Bay and another big stadium show for the Boss. Feeling as if he is now getting a grip on his new ride, Kreg just may be able to have the success he, and his fan expect in Tampa next Saturday night!
Kreg wanted to say thank you to all of the fans who stood in line before and after the shows all weekend to say hi and take pictures! He is on Facebook and if you would like to friend him up, he says "Connect"!

Manitoba In the Books
Kreg took Maximum Destruction to 7 wins during 9 events this weekend North of the border. Kreg came in with high hopes, and I think it is safe to say he is no where near satisfied, but he is happy to have done well all weekend and have the truck hold together for all of the shows. After close Semifinal losses in racing the last couple of nights, Kreg can still hang his hat on the fact that he did take on on Saturday night from his team mate Bulldozer, and all things are moving forward, and he gets to go home next weekend for a huge show in Salt Lake. Kreg has not been keeping count, but he can with out question tell all of his fans that he has ended up rolling around a lot more this year and has the bruises to prove it! If you know Kreg he wants to win first and foremost, but he also wants all of the fans to go home with a smile on their face, so if rolling makes that happen then he is game! Get your tickets as early as possible as Salt Lake may be a tough ticket to get! We will post any new videos as they are released!

The Big "Not So" Easy!
Preliminary reports are that Kreg won his first round race against the fast qualifier Safe Auto but had mechanical issues once again that would cost him the chance to advance in racing. The team thrashed on the truck for freestyle and Kreg came out and drove Max D into the ground with huge air and several great hits along with an outrageous save giving him the lead with Digger to follow. Dennis came out and laid down a great run to take the win, but I am sure Kreg will feel a little better after finishing strong in freestyle. As most of you know Kreg is very competitive, and the time he is taking to learn his new ride is something he is not really happy with but that being said his competitive nature is exactly why he will master it and succeed!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Orlando Results
Kreg headed to Orlando to do some catching up with his new ride. The results were mixed, he lost in the Semis to Blue Thunder and finished second in Freestyle to Digger. All in all Kreg had a pretty decent night but mechanical issues hurt him a great deal in racing, and the loss of rear wheel drive in freestyle very possibly cost him his second freestyle championship this year. About a third of the way through freestyle Kreg realized that he was in front wheel drive only and took to the course with everything he could to score a 25. That score would last about 5 minutes ad Digger would come out and get a 26. So now it is off to New Orleans and the Superdome!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Kreg falls in Semis
On a night that would see Kreg get yet more comfortable in his new diggs Kreg would work his way past Backdraft, and Safe Auto before succumbing to Gunslinger. Kreg called and informed us that he lost a cylinder against Backdraft which meant he was running on 7 when he pulled to the line to face Safe Auto. This would throw out another as Kreg pulled to the line against Gunslinger with 6 in the hole firing instead of the desired eight! From that point forward it was a matter of just holding the pedal to the floor and hoping that he could somehow make an appearance in the final in his first major stadium show in Max D. This would prove not to be as Kreg ended up catching an edge and rolling the truck and falling with just one more race to be crowned. This also was the last gasp for the motor which ended up blowing and sent Kreg to do play by play with Scott Douglas on Speed TV! All in all, Kreg is having a great time with his new opportunity, and is looking forward to Toronto and its big floor next weekend! Thanks to all of the fans that came out to the show, Kreg is sorry the line got cut off but promises to stay as long as possible to make sure that you guys get the autographs and pictures you desire!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Saturday Night Results: Kreg came in second in all phases of the night behind Digger. Kreg battled through the racing by taking out Devastator, Destroyer, and fell to Digger in the racing final. But that was not the story, Kreg was behind going into his second lap and was hard on the throttle trying to make up time in the air over the cars when he veered off into the big pile in the middle of the floor and ended up doing a barrel roll into the stands safety zone. Kreg would go on to put on a good freestyle and finish the night on a high note finishing second behind Digger. After witnessing this weekend I would say the following, Kreg is getting this dial in, and when it is complete he is going to be a force to be reckoned with at any arena, stadium, field, you name it, the BOSS will bring it!

Saturday results:
Kreg lost to Destroyer in the first round of racing, this was a good deal because Kreg was really focused on not rolling the truck and wanted to set the stage for a good show this evening. Kreg finished 2nd in the wheelie contest and Freestyle respectively. Expect tonight's show to be a real good barometer of where Kreg is in his comfort level in Max D.



Kreg is ROLLING!

Tonight in the first of three shows the Boss took Max D to places he had not been in a while. During the wheelie contest Kreg got major air on both of his hits, This got him a score of 28. Up next was the Digger and Pablo put up a 29 to win. The first round saw Kreg take to the track to face TMNT, and after a great start Kreg rolled the truck in the first corner, taking it all the way over to land back on all fours. This put the Boss on the sidelines until the Freestyle where he would get big air, hit all of the obstacles and do a reverse over the 15 foot pile of dirt in the middle of the Iowa Events Center floor. To finish off Kreg took a sharp turn right in front of Digger and TMNT and rolled Max D over once again and landed on top of not only TMNT but Digger as well. One tire on Digger and the other on the hood of TMNT. Kreg said "I am still learning how to drive this truck, it is an entirely different beast". Kreg will spend most of the night helping Pablo put the trucks back together. Kreg feels bad, but Pablo was very gracious and understanding. Kreg scored a perfect 30 on freestyle taking the win. Tomorrows show starts at 2pm and the evening show will be a 7 pm start time!

The BOSS Has His Schedule for Monster Jam!


Kreg has just released his schedule for the 2009 season in MAX D! Click on link to see.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's up With The Dragon Slayer and Kaptain Insano?



Team KCM would like to take some time and get their fans caught up on the status of the team, The Dragon Slayer, and where the team is heading in the near and distant future. Kreg has signed to drive Max D for Feld Motorsports as you all know, but what has become of the Dragon Slayer and Kaptain Insano HUMMERS? Kreg has his schedule for Monster Jam and it is now posted in the schedule section of the website. This leaves the question open as to what is going to happen with Team KCM. Well in short Kreg still has very strong aspirations to climb back into the drivers seat of the big yellow HUMMER, but there is allot of work to be done. Kreg has said "First off we are going to be sending out promotional packages to try to round up sponsors over the next couple of months". The Dragon Slayer and Kaptain need to be rebuilt from the ground up, and the economy has hurt the ability to get monetary commitments for this effort. "We have a great packet, very simple and stray forward that we will be sending out to any and all folks we think would like to be a part of our family" Kreg said. "We hope this will generate some interest and help steer us into building a new Dragon Slayer for the summer of 2009." Team KCM has a clear goal and will try to reach it by the middle of next year. Kreg has said he is 100% focused on Max D, but has time to get the Dragon together if we can get the funding in place. So the promotions department will be kicking into high gear after the new year to get these packets out so we can move the effort forward. Kreg said in closing " I realize there are allot of Dragon Slayer fans out there wanting me back in that truck, but this is a great opportunity to bridge that gap, and possibly lay the foundation of building a bigger and badder Dragon in the year to come!" Kreg wants to invite his fans to come out and see him in Monster Jam, where he will be allowed to show his capabilities without having to worry about the costs of running his truck into the ground on a weekly basis!

Kreg Wins the Sony Playstation 3 Freestyle World Championship

Kreg raced and freestyled last night in Australia for the Sony Playstation 3 World Finals and became the SPS3 Freestyle World Champion. Kreg raced into the number one qualifying spot and stomped his first tow competitors, but in true Kreg fashion his aggressive style blew his motor. After that he had the chance to drive another truck in the Freestyle portion of the show and was an declared the winner with an outrageous run! All of this in a truck he had literally just climbed into.
Kreg returns back to the States on MOnday and will be flying to Chicago for Max D business. Hold on, it will be one heck of a year for the Boss and all of his fans!

Kreg Christensen To Drive Maximum Destruction In 2009
By Spencer Huard - Monster Jam Online


This year Monster Jam will see a new face driving the hugely popular Maximum Destruction monster truck. Tom Meents will team up with Monster Jam veteran Kreg Christensen to take on the rest of the Monster Jam field in 2009! MonsterJamOnline.com  sat down with both Tom and Kreg to get their views on what 2009 has in store for Team Meents.


MonsterJamOnline.com:
What are your thoughts on teaming up with Tom Meents in Maximum Destruction this year?

Kreg Christensen:
Is a huge honor to drive for Tom. I have always had a huge amount of respect for what he has done in Maximum Destruction. He is the freestyle king of Monster Jam and I hope to follow in his foot steps as one of the top drivers in the world.


MonsterJamOnline.com:
Have you ever been in Maximum Destruction before, and what do you think it’s going to be like?

Kreg Christensen: Well it’s going to get CRAZY out there this year. I’m going to run Max D. harder and more on the limit then I ever have before. I’m going to be running this truck wide open!!! I started out driving Dragon Slayer for the first 15 years, then switched to Iron Outlaw for 2008. This coming year is going to be a totally new challenge as I have not driven a front engine truck since 1992.


MonsterJamOnline.com: Tom what are your thoughts on having Kreg as a teammate this year?

Tom Meents:
Kreg brings so much driving experience and has been competing on such a high level for years. I couldn’t pick a better fit to drive Maximum Destruction. I expect him to drive as he always has, on the limit! I have know Kreg since 1990 when we use to mud race. He has always had a bit of a chip on his shoulder, and I think this is his year to shine. I’m going to throw him the keys to his new ride and were going to have the time of our lives in 2009! Bring it on!


Kreg Stretches His Streak to 7
Kreg took advantage of his mud bogging days to steal a victory over teammate Darren Migues in Rochester MN Saturday. Monster Madness was the largest Monster Truck show that the city has had the chance to see. Kreg qualified in the #1 spot while Bounty Hunter qualified in the number 2 spot. Kreg had to get by a very quick Jim Bendzik in Rolling Thunder to advance to the Magic Media Monster Cup Race. The day was marred by one thunderstorm after another, but Monster-Mojo Live Events pushed on with the show and saw Kreg win over Bounty in the final. Local boy Jim Bendzik was victorious in the Everything Hobby Freestyle. This pushes Kregs racing win streak to 7 straight!

Kreg and the Outlaw are at the 10th Annual Monster Truck Nationals being held at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, AZ this weekend. Kreg competed in a wheelie, donut, and Freestyle contest. Kreg had a good night, but was not the winner of any of the events last night. Kreg and the Outlaw will be back at it this afternoon, and we will post the results!

Kreg' s Results!

Kreg' s Results!


Kreg and the Outlaw once again had some Tranny problems in the intros. This forced Kreg to run the truck in first gear in his first round race, which he won. This set up a duel between to team 2xtream trucks. Kreg said Darren did an awesome job, and he took the win over Kreg. After Kreg and the team got back into the pits, it was decided Kreg would freestyle in first gear only as it was all that was functioning at the time. Kreg made some good jumps, but was worried about blowing up his motor and took it easy for the boss JC. As always, thanks for your support!!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kreg Speaks.......Kinda Softly, but Carries a Big Broom!

Kreg Christensen cleaned up the competition this weekend in Montana at the Monster Nationals. Facing a good field of trucks Kreg worked through all 5 events dominating the weekend by sweeping the show! Kreg is making a strong case for himself in the industry as his contract is up at the end of this month, and he is looking towards the future. He is weighing his options and considering what to do next. Whatever the BOSS decides, you will be the first to know! As always Team KCM is thankful for all of our fans, and hope to see you at a show in the near future.

The Team and How it went down This Weekend!
Mikeal took the Dragon Slayer out and made a good show of it Friday night at Monster Jam in Salt Lake. He made it to the semis and lost a close decision to Obsession. This lead to a great performance in the freestyle portion of the night where Mikeal scored a 17 but popped the motor setting up a very bust Saturday afternoon. Saturday Mikeal scored a 16 in freestyle and will take the Dragon back to the shop to replace the headgasket he blew doing doughnuts Kreg had advised against! All in all it was good to see the Dragon Slayer back out there and I am sure we will be seeing more of it in the near future. Kreg on the other hand has 2 freestyle wins and 2 wheelie wins going into todays final show in New Mexico. Kreg is really itching to get that last day sweep, but is facing tuff competition from the Hall Brothers in their Hemi powered Rams! Sunday was just as Friday and Saturday for Kreg in the Outlaw, he once again took the wheelie contest and Freestyle giving the BOSS a sweep for the weekend!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dallas, Reunion Arena Results
Team 2 Extreme had a rough weekend. Kreg had to face Jimmy in the first race of the first show on Saturday and had little luck. Jimmy went on to win while flipping the Bounty in the process. Kreg destroyed plenty during his freestyle and kept them up all night getting the trucks ready for Sundays show. Not much changed there as Kreg came out and had a good pass but hit a turning cone and it cost him the victory.

Official Monster Jam Results from Oakland

WOW!  Rain, rain, and more rain!  9 monster trucks, quad wars, Pro-trucks, and did I mention rain!?  You would never have known the weather was all that bad by the enthusiasm and the shear numbers of fans that turned out tonight.  The Built Ford Tough Party In The Pits was actually being called Party On The Concourse today due to the fact everything had to be moved indoors.  We had the floor open to any fans that wanted to venture out into the inclement weather to get up close pictures of the monsters and sure enough the rabid fans of Oakland were out the nearly 2000 deep.  That was just a sure sign of what was to come for the evening. 
Even in rainy and I mean RAINY conditions, the phrase, “the crème always rises to the top” came true.
Working their way through the bracket and into the semi-finals was GraveDigger, Donkey Kong, Airborne Ranger, & Bounty Hunter.  Even in these muddy conditions, the big horsepower proved to be the advantage as Digger & Bounty Hunter won their way into the finals.  In the end it was Jimmy Creten and Bounty Hunter proving that sometimes slower means faster as he was very meticulous and deliberate in the turns and was able to “peddle” it down the straights all the way to another win.  It was great to see Jimmy smile after this one even if it was through a mud caked face.
The constant rain came down even harder just as freestyle was ready to start and again, the fans here at McAfee Coliseum were not moving an inch!  Kreg Christianson and Iron Outlaw laid down the a 25 2/3rds of the way through the field and looked like he had a legitimate shot at a win but we still had 3 trucks remaining.  Jimmy Creten was the next out and BAM, just like that we had a new leader with a 26.  Frank Krmel and the brand new Donkey Kong was tearing out onto the floor, but between a possible missed set up or more than likely not being able to see a thing through a mud caked windshield, Kong was only able to nail a 24.  As usual, the door was left open.  Only needing a 27 to take the freestyle win, Charlie Paulkin and GraveDigger hit the floor, not just to win freestyle but to give the fans something to talk about until the next time Monster Jam comes to town.  And boy did he, huge air after huge air.  Charlie proved to the crowd why Dennis Anderson himself picked Paulkin to be one of the Team Digger drivers if not the best one out there.  Another rain soaked and mud caked interview and Charlie dedicated that win to the wet or should I say SOAKED fans of Oakland.
It’s getting to be almost that time now fans that everyone is looking towards the NGK Spark Plugs Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas and before they were able to get home tonight to dry off, the bet was that there would be more than a few fans online tonight checking on “Finals” tickets!  We’ll see you Oakland fans in Vegas, if not, in 2009!

Kreg finishes night with a third place finish in FREESTYLE.




Kreg had the bad luck bug again this weekend in Phoenix. During the intros Hector reported that he rolled to a stop and remained there until a tractor came out and pulled him off and took him to the hauler for the frantic work that needed to be done. The crew worked tirelessly to get the truck ready for racing, but it would not be and Kreg would have to settle for a shot at the Freestyle title. This leaves the Team ready to battle next weekend in Oakland, CA. The monster Blog was there this weekend, so head on over to the Blog for all of the latest news from PHZ. Pictures will be posted soon!

Kreg Buries Grave Digger in San Diego.





(Pictures courtesy of Hector Palafox)

San Diego Monster Jam Race Recap

 An interesting start of a fantastic evening took place during the Built Ford Tough Party In The Pits today when both Dennis and Adam Anderson were exchanging comments most of the afternoon.  It was trash talking much like you see in the NBA or NFL.  It just happened to be one of the largest pit parties in recent history as well, so everyone was well aware of the brewing rivalry. 

The fans just knew something was going to bubble over when in the semi-finals it was an exact replay of the 2006 World Finals racing action.  And it was only the 3rd round tonight when Dennis Anderson & GraveDigger was lined up against Jimmy Creten and Bounty Hunter.  It seemed as if Creten was suffering from some sort of problem with his transmission heading over the last set of cars as it sounded like Bounty Hunter was over revving badly and Digger went on for the win and another appearance in the finals of racing.  Meanwhile, Creten’s new teammate, Kreg Christensen and Iron Outlaw had worked their way methodically through the field to earn another shot at a racing championship.  Well guess what, much to the amusement of Jimmy Creten, it was all Christensen and Outlaw in racing.  It really quieted down the crowd when Iron Outlaw crossed the Built Ford Tough Finish Line in front of Digger.
Finally by the end of the night the fans were more than ready for the UTI Monster Jam Freestyle Competition.  12 monster trucks, 40,000+ screaming fans, recipe for a TON of fun.  Even the USHRA officials were anxious for this one to get going. The early leader with a score of 22 was once again, Kreg Christensen & Iron Outlaw.  Even for just a moment, Kreg was looking at a possible “double down” evening.  Dan Rodoni and The Patriot knocked him off the top spot with a 24, which held up for exactly one truck.  Jimmy Creten and Bounty Hunter bettered it by 1 point to take the lead.  Damon Bradshaw and Air Force tied for the lead on the next run.  And that lasted for exactly one truck.  George Belhan and Escalade took the lead by one point again as he scored a 26.  Two trucks remaining and it was the Anderson boys.  Adam momentarily took the lead with a very impressive run and a 27.  Guess what, the door was left open if even just a bit.  Dennis took advantage and blew the socks off of every single fan in their seat.  As usual Digger took different angles at every obstacle, higher jumps, faster between each hit and absolutely huge momentum from hit to hit.  In GraveDigger fashion another perfect 30. 
As interesting as the day started, it ended in even better fashion.  40,000 ecstatic fans already looking forward to 2009!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Weekend , ohhhh The Weekend.

Kreg Lost to the Grave Digger in the Semi's! The Iron Outlaw had a slight lead but hit a turning post and the 5 second penalty was to much to overcome. In freestyle Kreg put on a heck of a show pushing the Outlaw to the limit and eventually rolling it forcing the team to work late into the night to get it ready for todays show.....Well, the second day was much like the first. Kreg spent all night with the crew (2 people) putting all the Outlaw back together again, as well as helping Jimmy get the Bounty Hunter back up and running, only to break an input shaft during intros the next day. This put a very tired and exhausted Kreg back into mechanic mode trying to put in the 3rd new transmission of the weekend. The mission was accomplished before the end of racing but Kreg was to late to get into the game and settled for a great freestyle. Kreg made a great run and finished in the 3rd spot against 15 other trucks with a score of 16. Now the road leads to San Diego and another HUGE stadium show in front of well over 60k fans and a national TV audience on SPEED!


Kreg getting some ridiculous air! He loves to fly..... And it shows!

Weekend Race Recap

In front of a capacity standing room only crowd at Houston’s Reliant Stadium Dennis Anderson and Tom Meents renewed the greatest rivalry in motorsports with a pair of blistering freestyles that ended in a bit of controversy as the judges scored Grave Digger and Maximum Destruction in a tie for the win, and Kreg Christensen made his Speed TV debut in Iron Outlaw a victorious one by taking the racing competition against a star-studded 16-truck field.

 

With the superstars testing another brand new track design Jimmy Creten set the fastest time in the Bounty Hunter on a circuit that started with the trucks at the edge of the entrance tunnel, side by side, roaring at a 45 degree angle onto the spacious floor before breaking into St. Louis style twin oval race tracks. Creten appeared to be the man to beat, setting a qualifying time almost two seconds faster than the rest of field and rolled into the semifinals with wins over Grave Digger and Steve Reynolds in Cowboy, but lost his semifinal match-up against reigning World Racing Champion John Seasock and Batman when the Bounty Hunter lost power half way through the race, sending Batman into the Championship Race. IN the other half of the bracket it was Creten’s teammate, Christensen, driving Iron Outlaw to wins over Scott Hartsock in Gunslinger, Daron Basl in the Fiesta El Matador, and then Adam Anderson in Taz to ear the other championship berth. The finale was close to the final turn with Iron Outlaw coming home the winner, the veteran Christensen paying big dividends for his new team.

 

The freestyle competition was wild from start to finish, but it was Creten who set the standard with a technically strong run that include new cross-thread moves, Bounty Hunter’s score of 23 putting Jimmy in the hot seat. The younger Anderson looked to be ready to give Creten a run, but he flipped Taz half way into the performance and scored just a 16 from the judges. Then his dad brought Grave Digger out for a popular high energy performance that put the Digger on top with a score of 26. Meents was the final competitor in Max-D and he went ballistic, a huge air performance that continued despite his breaking a wheel off near the end of the run but continuing to wow the crowd anyway. Meents ended his run with every one of the more than 60,000 fans on their feet screaming, but the judges scored Maximum Destruction with the same score as Grave Digger, 26. With the trophy presentation be made to both as the winners Anderson refused to accept his share of the win, saying the judges got it wrong and that Meents was a no doubt winner. As he walked away and handed the trophy to Meents, Anderson had one more thing to say to his rival: “this one is yours, but the next one will be mine!”.

After a long and trying season in Major League of Monster Trucks, Kreg Christensen finishes in the top 10 with the number 8 spot! This is a series that has well over 30 drivers, and for Kreg to finish in the top 10 is great. But if you ask Kreg he will tell you that 8 is not good enough, still all in all it was a finish that should be a great springboard for the team heading into 2008. The MLMT website is preparing for a new look so check back there in a week or so to see the final standings! 2008 was a busy year for Team KCM capturing the Monster Jam Golden Mic Award at the World Finals banquet, and finishing with the West Coast Nationals Championship are just the bookends for one great year! Team KCM wants to thank all of its fans from around the globe for checking in, sending us well wishes, and for just all of your support in general! Have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! See you in 2008!

Big Weekend in Red Bluff!

(Pictures are courtesy of Chris, our MySpace friend)

Team KCM entered this weekend in Red Bluff knowing that the task ahead was daunting. First issue arose when the Dragon Slayer had no Oil Pressure when it was unloaded for the pit party Friday afternoon. Paul and Kreg immediately dug into the motor realizing this was bigger than they had hoped it would be. This prompted Paul to suggest that Kreg drive the Kaptain Insano because he is more experienced in this type of racing. Kreg took that to heart, and it was a great decision that would allow Team KCM to capture their biggest racing title to date this season. Kreg took out the Kaptain and beat trucks like Tropical Thunder, Bounty Hunter, Scarlet Bandit, Iron Outlaw, Sudden Impact, Big Foot, this was a very good field of trucks, and Team KCM laid down the law, knocking them out one by one. Kreg took the racing championship Friday and Saturday Night giving him the title, but wanted to try for the racing sweep on Sunday. Just as luck would have it, Kreg did the one thing he did not want to do, he ROLLED the Kaptain and is now going to make the team work all week in the shop to try to get it ready for Next weekend! In closing, Team KCM has had a great stretch, and Paul came out in the Dragon and finished strong after working all weekend getting the H2 ready for the final day. What a great weekend, we will have some videos posted soon compliments of the Monster Blog, and more pictures as well!

Father VS Son in the final in Redmond 11-7-07


Team KCM has always been an ultra competitive family, and that carried over into Fridays first MLMT show. Kreg was busy driving his new digs through the field, and Mikeal in the Kaptain was doing the same in the other bracket. Paul was also busy in the Dragon Slayer, but had a tough round and was eliminated in a close race. The Kaptain Insano H1 HUMMER defeated Nitro Hornet in the first round, and the Bounty Hunter in the second to set up a final that would be won by the driver who made the fewest mistakes. That driver was The Boss in the Iron Outlaw. Tune in again tomorrow, and get the final results for the two remaining shows!

All Team KCM Final at Motor Madness





A nice crowd showed up to see Motor Madness despite a day of non stop rain and snow. When the pit opened at 5pm the rain was still falling, but by 6pm it stopped and we were ready to roll. The day would end with the Dragon Slayer beating out all competition to meet The Kaptain in the final. It was a classic battle of brothers, hummers, and mud! The race was Chicago style so they both had to go around and hit the cars 3 times. By the end of the race Mikeal had beaten Paul in the Dragon Slayer by mere inches and claimed the trophy. In freestyle it would be Ron in the Maverick Monster Trakker taking the win as he rolled over after hitting a van stack. This was the first time the Maverick Monster has ever rolled, and Ron was not happy, but he was gracious, and loved to see the fans having a great time! Kreg and Mark from Rebel Racing put on a first class show, and maybe next year we can get it all done and have a nice day to boot! Thank you to all of the loyal monster truck fans who came out and took part in Motor Madness 2007. There will be tee shirts in our store later this week for $10 plus $5 shipping and handling! We will also post all of the Motor Madness coloring contest winners pictures, these guys won bikes for their efforts!

Team KCM Coverage in Tijuana, MX

Pictures below!!!

Team KCM went to Mexico with a plan , a plan to start getting into a groove going into MLMT portion of their schedule. This plan was met with a little resistance early on as Kreg , after qualifying 4th, pulled up to race ProComp in the first round and had the starter fail. That would send him to the pits where he and Jimmy Creten would work to correct the problem before freestyle. All of the commotion in the pits did not seem to rattle Mikeal as he would prove to be very competitive on the racing portion of the evening. Mikeal would first race Iron Outlaw and after 3 replays it was decided that Iron Outlaw would be the winner. Not to fear, The Kaptain Insano Lynch Hummer would be back as fast looser, and face eventual winner Rick Swanson in Obsession. This race was also to close to call and it was decided by the judges that Rick would be declared winner, but guess who was coming back as fast looser. IN the final race of the night for the Kaptain Insano Hummer it would be Team CSK vs Team KCM and Cretin in the Bounty Hunter would win by a narrow margin. Meanwhile back in the pits the Tuff Country Dragon Slayer was ready for all out freestyle war! But first Mikeal would come out in the Kaptain and hit all of the obstacles, Busses, vans, table tops, they were all in play. "I hit every thing could out there, some things twice. " Mikeal said. Kreg Christensen came out in the Dragon Slayer with something to prove, and he did not disappoint! The Dragon Slayer was hitting the obstacles with such force that Kreg was a full 1-2 feet over the bus stack both times he hit it. The overflow crowd was shown what Team KCM Hummer monster trucks were all about. After all the dust settled it was between Jimmy in the Bounty Hunter and Kreg in the Dragon Slayer. The crowd gave the slight edge to Jimmy and Kreg took 2nd in the 10 truck field. Team KCM is starting to hit on all cylinders, and there is really very little work to get ready for MLMT in 2 weeks, so they will work on fine tuning the Dragon Slayer as the new KB Motor is just starting to get broke in. Check back often as we will get a pit pass to the speedshop this week and see whats up! Hector Palafox was at the show and has sent us some great pictures! Thanks Hector!
