O’Donnell and Meents Win in Atlanta!

The 2008 Atlanta Monster Jam is officially in the books. Racing saw a surprise winner, with the fill-in Lee O’Donnell behind the wheel of Blue Thunder. O’Donnell snuck into the semi-finals after getting beat by Randy Brown in the second round. Battery problems on Maximum Destruction put O’Donnell in the finals, where he took out Allen Pezo in Predator after Pezo spun out. Many spectacular moments from all the trucks, including several amazing saves, highlighted freestyle, but in the end it was all Tom Meents and Maximum Destruction. Meents put on a usual Max D run, with huge air and saves. Randy Brown had a rough night in Grave Digger; after getting taken out in the semis, his freestyle was cut short by an early roll.
