The excitement begins at the Monster Jam Pit Party held in Melbourne on Saturday October 7. Fans can see the massive trucks up close, meet their favorite drivers and crews, get autographs, and take pictures. 2023 activities include the Sand Box play area, Spin Master remote control truck course, and a coloring station.  This fun-filled experience is the only place that allows people to get up close access to the Monster Jam teams and get an insider’s look at how these trucks are built to stand up to the competition.
 
Melbourne fans will be on the edge of their seats as world-class drivers show off crazy skills and all-out racing in fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship. Engineered to perfection, the 12,000-pound Monster Jam trucks push all limits in Freestyle, Skills and Racing competitions.  
 
The all-star lineup features 8 skilled athletes battling for the championship while tearing up the dirt in intense competitions of speed and skill.  Matt Cody gets behind the wheel of the black and green wrecking machine, the legendary Grave Digger®. Chelsea VanCleave grabs the bull by the horns in El Toro Loco®. Fan-favorite Charlie Pauken aims to take a bite out of the competition in Megalodon®. Blake Granger has his eye on the event championship driving Max-D™, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Four more drivers and trucks will be announced at a later date.
 
Megalodon® driver Charlie Pauken said it’s been six years since his last Monster Jam in Australia, and he’s excited to be returning and driving the renowned Megalodon. 
 
“I’m extremely excited to be heading back to Australia! Many Monster Jam fans have been asking when I would be returning, and I can finally inform them I am back to see them once again – it’s like a family reunion to me!” 
 
Fans are encouraged to get to their seats early to experience Monster Jam Trackside approximately one hour before the event start time. Featured festivities include competition previews, driver interviews, opening ceremonies and power rush truck introductions.
 
Monster Jam drivers are trained, world-class male and female athletes who have mastered not only the physical strength and mental stamina needed to compete, but the vital dexterity to control 12,000-pound machines capable of doing backflips, vertical two-wheel skills and racing at speeds up to 70 miles-per-hour to produce jaw-dropping, live motorsports action seen around the world.  Monster Jam.
