Roaring engines echoed throughout the NRG Stadium on Saturday night for the 2019 Monster Jam Series’ stop in Houston. With Houston native Colt Stephens commandeering Brodozer and alternative rock station 94.5 The Buzz’s own monster truck taking to the track, fans of all ages cheered their hearts out as the hometown heroes raced around the muddied Texans floor in a head-to-head competition. Fraction of a second times separated the heavy metal trucks in the bracket style contest but in the end the devilish Dragonoid took the gold. After the races, the crowd watched in awe as classic trucks such as Max-D and El Toro Loco flew through the air and legendary fan-favorite Grave Digger exhibited his skills, performing 90 degree “Sky Wheelies” and executing monstrous flips during the freestyle truck competition.
