Close racing dotted the competition as Metro PCS presented the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam brought to you by Ford trucks at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. The competition was matvched by the enthusiasm as the crowd clearly picked their favorites and roared their approval through the show.
Monster truck qualifying opened as Grave Digger posted a solid 19.38 in the first pair to run. Excaliber rolled out and posted a 19.39, getting close to the top spot. Two more trucks slipped below the 20 second mark, but no one could knock Grave Digger from the top spot.

Scott Hartsock and Gun Slinger rocked the house that Tampa built this past weekend inside Raymond James Stadium. The impressive monster truck field would be a rather difficult field of trucks to beat, but Hartsock not only ended up in the semi-finals, barely taking a lose to Blue Thunder, but would go into freestyle and walk away with a well deserved and impressive win. Normally Scott dominates Florida events in racing, however the new shock setup for 2010 has proved successful to allow Scott to air it out more and land softer. Next up the team invades the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida on January 30th.
