Overkill Evolution Crowned the 2015 Monster Jam World Finals Freestyle Champion

LAS VEGAS (March 28, 2015) – Overkill Evolution, driven by Mike Vaters II, took home its first-ever Monster Jam World Finals® presented by NGK Spark Plugs freestyle championship tonight at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium. Never before seen in Monster JamWorld Finals history, Overkill Evolution went out fourteenth and was able to fend off 18 other Monster Jam trucks to be crowned the 2015 Monster Jam World Finals World Freestyle Champion.

Monster Mutt® Rottweiler, driven by Rod Schmidt, started off the night with a solid performance and with a score of 23 claimed the hot seat until this weekend’s Young Guns ShootoutSM winner, Monster Energy, driven by Coty Saucier, stole the show with two impressive saves to earn a score of 29.5. Saucier would maintain control of the hot seat for the next eight trucks until last year’s Young Guns Shootout winner, Overkill Evolution, left the stadium on their feet with a score of 33.5.

“Are you kidding me right now?” Vaters said after his win. “This is unbelievable! I love Las Vegas. I have never had a stadium win in my life. This is my first one. My hat’s is off to all of these awesome drivers and fans. We did it! I burned my truck in to the ground. Thank you everyone, I love you all!”
