FONDA, N.Y. — The first show of the Versus Monster Trucks Season Finale rolled into Fonda Speedway on Saturday afternoon, October 10, with a solid crowd on hand for the 12:30 p.m. performance featuring monster truck racing, freestyle competition, quad racing, and family entertainment. The monster truck lineup featured Bottom Feeder Motorsports teammates Crushtation and Lumberjack, driven by Greg and Zach Winchenbach, respectively, along with Como Motorsports entries Anger Management and Loud and Dirty, piloted by Jesse and Perry Como. Hurricane Force, driven by Steven Thompson, and Joe Fly, driven by Jordan Healey, rounded out the field. Racing competition opened with Joe Fly defeating Loud and Dirty after getting the holeshot advantage. Lumberjack advanced past Hurricane Force, while Crushtation moved on with a bye run after Anger Management suffered mechanical issues before its opening-round matchup. In the semifinals, Crushtation eliminated Loud and Dirty, while Hurricane Force edged Joe Fly in one of the afternoon's closest races. In the championship round, Crushtation and Hurricane Force lined up for the final showdown. After a side-by-side battle, Crushtation crossed the line approximately one truck length ahead of Hurricane Force to earn the racing championship. The card also featured a Team New Jersey versus Team New York quad racing challenge. Team New Jersey won the first two heat races, but Team New York responded when it mattered most, capturing the main event victory. Intermission activities kept fans entertained with kids' Power Wheels races and an appearance by Versus Bunny, home of the world-record carrot jump. The afternoon concluded with the freestyle competition, where each truck could showcase its creativity and ability. Anger Management opened the freestyle portion of the show with an aggressive attack on the course, launching high over the van stack and attacking the obstacles. Joe Fly followed with a smoke-filled, diesel-powered performance that included several impressive, high-flying, crowd-pleasing moments. Loud and Dirty brought an all-out assault to the track with hard-charging runs and kamikaze-style moves, while Lumberjack thrilled fans with a massive sky wheelie off the Jersey barrier, big air throughout the course, and a series of tailgate-dragging wheelies. Hurricane Force kept the momentum going with a solid freestyle effort, highlighted by strong air and an aggressive driving style that won over the spectators. Crushtation appeared ready to challenge for the top spot with several strong opening hits, but electrical issues cut the run short before the truck could build momentum. When the judges finalized their scores, Lumberjack earned the freestyle victory with one of the afternoon's most complete performances. As fans exited the speedway after the matinee, anticipation was already building for the evening's 7 p.m. show, which would officially close out the 2026 Versus Monster Trucks season. After an afternoon filled with close racing, exciting freestyle action, and family entertainment, the crowd left wanting more from one of the Northeast's premier monster truck touring series. Gallery
