Monster Jam returns to Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Monster Jam is back at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia on Saturday.

Fans with a Pit Party pass can come meet the drivers and take a look at the trucks beginning at 9:30 a.m. The main event starts at 1 p.m.

Jamie Sullivan drives Sparkle Smash.

"It's pink. It's sparkly, but it's also super-fierce, and we want to come out on the track and take those wins from the boys," she said. "Motor sports in general has been such a male dominated industry, and of course we want to get more girls involved."

Each Monster Jam truck is approximately 10.5 feet tall, 12.5 feet wide, and 17 feet long.

Cam Murphy drives Classroom Crusher.

"Classroom Crusher is a 12,000 pound truck turned into a school bus. Who doesn't love to see a school bus jumping 30, 40, 50 feet in the air?" he said.

Around 5,000 tons of dirt are hauled into the Linc to create the obstacles and track.

"There's two different race tracks out here. Every single ramp has a different angle, different lengths and things of that nature that will soar the trucks to the sky or shoot us out a little further," Murphy explained.

There are three different competition categories: racing, skills, and freestyle.

Colt Stephens drives ThunderROARus.

"We're known for freestyle and big air, but this year we've been really consistent in racing. Hopefully we continue that and come away with a racing win here in Philly," said Stephens.

The dirt is sticking around for SuperCross next weekend at the Linc.
