Metal Mulisha Wins the 2015 Monster Jam World Finals Racing Championship, Giving Todd LeDuc Second World Championship

LAS VEGAS (March 27, 2015) – The 2015 Monster Jam World Finals®, presented by NGK Spark Plugs crowned a first-time racing champion tonight in front of a packed Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. Metal Mulisha, driven by Todd LeDuc, managed to fend off 31 of the world’s most famous Monster Jam® trucks to cross the finish line first in the championship round against Son-uva Digger®, driven by Ryan Anderson.

With his world racing championship, LeDuc became the fifth Monster Jam driver to have won both a world racing and a world freestyle championship, joining Tom Meents, Dennis Anderson, Madusa® and Adam Anderson.

“We qualified number one last night and I’ve been so nervous to hit my lines,” said the 2015 Monster Jam World Finals Racing Champion, LeDuc. “Shawn, my Crew Chief, is one of the best mechanics. We’re so stoked and we’ve never won a racing world title and couldn’t be happier. Thank you everyone; you guys are the best. I’m waiting to defend my world freestyle championship and tomorrow can’t come soon enough.”

The first round of racing was full of upsets, most notably with Grave Digger® driven by Colton Eichelberger, who finished in second place on the #MoreMonsterJam tour defeating the tour champion, Max-DSM and Morgan Kane by nearly four tenths of a second. The most memorable moment of the second round of racing was when Max-D, driven by Tom Meents, defeated Doom’s Day in a controversial photo finish with Max-D coming out on top by three one thousandths of a second.

The end of the third round of racing saw four trucks which have never won a world racing championship set to race in the quarter-finals. The two trucks to come out victorious and line-up in Thunder Alley for the championship race were last night’s fastest qualifier, Metal Mulisha, and Son-uva Digger.
