Jioe Fly and Jordan Healey with the backflip attempt right in front of the crowd. Fonda, NY-The roar of monster trucks returned to Fonda Speedway on October 10 as Versus Monster Trucks wrapped up its 2026 season with an action-packed finale featuring monster truck racing and freestyle, quad racing, Power Wheels competitions, the world-record carrot-jumping Versus Bunny, and a Tough Truck competition presented by the Adirondack Jeep Club. Fans packed the speedway to watch a talented field that included Bottom Feeder Motorsports teammates Crushstation and Lumberjack, Como Motorsports entries Anger Management and Loud and Dirty, along with Hurricane Force and Joe Fly. Straight-line racing opened with Hurricane Force defeating Lumberjack by half a truck length, while Anger Management powered past Joe Fly by three-quarters of a truck. Crushstation advanced with a bye run after Loud and Dirty suffered mechanical issues before its race. In the semifinals, Crushstation defeated Hurricane Force by a truck length, while Anger Management edged Lumberjack by a bumper in the night's closest side-by-side race.

When the dust settled, experience prevailed as Greg drove Crushstation to the victory, completing a clean sweep of the racing portion of the event. The quad racing competition saw Team New Jersey take the first heat before Team New York answered with a Heat 2 victory. New Jersey crossed the line first in the main event, but on-track contact sparked controversy. Team New York issued a captain's challenge, and after officials reviewed the incident, they overturned the decision, giving Team New York the overall victory. During intermission, young fans took center stage in the Kids Power Wheels Races while Versus Bunny thrilled the crowd with a world-record carrot jump. The Adirondack Jeep Club also put on an entertaining Tough Truck competition that kept fans engaged throughout the break. Freestyle competition closed out the evening and delivered some of the season's most memorable moments. Crushstation opened the contest with an aggressive, high-flying attack that set the tone. Joe Fly followed with several strong hits on the car stack before attempting the backflip ramp. The truck nearly completed the rotation but fell short, crashing onto its roof in one of the night's wildest moments. Hurricane Force impressed with a steady aerial assault across the obstacle course, while Loud and Dirty launched itself repeatedly in an all-out effort during its final run of the year. Lumberjack paired big air with dramatic tailgate-dragging landings, keeping fans on their feet throughout. Anger Management closed the freestyle competition with a high-speed attack, soaring over the stacks and building toward a backflip attempt. Unfortunately, the truck lost power heading toward the ramp, ending the run just before the anticipated finale. When the scores were announced, Joe Fly's spectacular performance and daring backflip attempt earned the freestyle victory. As the final engines fell silent and fans exited Fonda Speedway, the 2026 Versus Monster Trucks season came to an exciting close, leaving spectators already looking ahead to what the series will bring in 2027.
