Houston and More St. Louis Monster Jam Photos Online!

Jeremy Verret, Ed Hoormann and  Josh Rhodes have been hard at work getting their photos to us from Houston and St. Louis, respectively. Check them out in the 2012 Photos section, and thanks go out to both of them for their support, as well as Ryan Rice from Incinerator for the hospitality. In St. Louis, the racing finals came down to a battle of old teammates, with Jimmy Creten and Bounty Hunter emerging victorious over Linsey Weenk and Lucas Oil Crusader. Freestyle was a great show as well, with Carl VanHorn and Grave Digger coming up just short in his bid to outdo Tom Meents’ Maximum Destruction, who ended with a truck in pieces but the freestyle victory. Be sure to check out the photos, and stay tuned to our Twitter and Facebook pages for more updates!
