The Monster Jam debut of the Nitro Circus monster truck is a further brand extension to the ever popular Nitro Circus television show which airs Sunday nights on MTV. Former Eastern Regional AMA Supercross Lites class champion, Pastrana, and friends, have taken their action sports antics to MTV with their new hit reality TV show which originally featured the Nitro Circus monster truck in the third episode. But this past Saturday in Las Vegas was the Monster Jam stadium debut of the Nitro Circus monster truck being driven by Travis Pastrana himself.

“I’ve done a lot of crazy things in my life, but that was incredible,” said Travis Pastrana as he climbed into the Sam Boyd Stadium seats to slap high fives with the adoring 37,000 fans that saw his debut in the Nitro Circus monster truck. “When I was back in Thunder Alley waiting to drive out I was so nervous, my body was literally shaking.”
Pastrana drove the Nitro Circus monster truck to a very respectable 5th place tie out of 24 total monster trucks in the Monster Jam NGK Spark Plugs World Finals freestyle competition only being bested by the Damon Bradshaw-driven U.S. Air Force Afterburner®, Bounty Hunter, Brutus, and Blue Thunder®. Bradshaw, another former Regional Supercross Lites champion, won his first ever Monster Jam World Finals Freestyle Championship by beating all 24 monster trucks with a score of 36 out of 40.
The Nitro Circus monster truck will be featured in the 2010 Monster Jam Hot Wheels die-cast toy line in addition to other consumer products at retail and the Monster Jam live events.

Hi Travis and gang,
I am 8 years old and think your show is awesome. I have a motocross track at my house and I was wondering if you and your crew wanted to come out and jump with me. I live in Whitewater, CO and also my back yard is the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) with lots of big hills and terrain I would like to take you on that I think you would like. Could you stay for a BBQ dinner and a bonfire after we ride? Hope you can make it to my house.
