Gage Bursey and Excavator launches it over the van stack during his freestyle run. It would be the second night of action from Saratoga County Fairground and the Versus Monster Truck Tour and with way better conditions the drivers would step up their game and the crowds would also come out by the hundreds for the show. It would be the same five trucks in action as the previous night with Gage Bursey and Excavator, Jordan Healey and Joe Fly, Joe Jenkins and Killer Bee, and Shawn Olben and Webslinger along with the Outlaw Quad Racers with Team New York taking on Team Carolinas. There would be a change in racing from the previous night as they would go back to the traditional straight-line drags and when the dust settled the winner would be Shawn Olben and Webslinger over Jesse Como and Temperature Rising as The weekend would end with Killer Bee and Webslinger getting a win. Then it would be onto the Two-Wheel Skills Competition and the winner would be Temperature Rising as he would balance it on two wheels after hitting the side of the car stack he and Killer Bee would get wins on the weekend. Then during the intermission portion of the show, it would be the Outlaw Quad Racing as once again it would be a 2-1 contest for Team New York but this time to finish off the third race it would be a relay race with only racers from each team on the track at a time. Then to finish off the show it would be the popular tailgate dragging axle snapping monster truck freestyle. We would start with Gage Bursey and Excavator and he would fly the track over the van stack on his third hit but when landed it would end him up in the shop as he would snap the rear tierod. Next up would be Jordan Healey and Joe Fly and once again the front-steering Germans would come up and bite him early in the run. Next up would be Killer Bee and Joe Jenkins and he would hit everything in sight and give the crowd their first donut of the evening to take the early lead in the contest. Then we would have Webslinger and Shawn Olben and he would give the truck everything it had but it would come up just short of Killer Bee. Then it would be time for Jesse Como and Temperature Rising to finish off the night the run would start slow but he would pick up with a donut and then give the crowd a great stoppie over the ramp and then finish off the run he would park it on top of the van stack after he added in some two-wheel balance skills to get the freestyle win on the night. The Versus Monster Truck Tour will take a couple of weeks off as they will return to action at the Penn Can Speedway on June 29th and 30th with Stone Crusher, Lumberjack, Crushation, Hooked, Excavator, and Towarseus Wrex.

Killer Bee and Joe Jenkins go straight up and down as he hits the car stack during the freestyle run in the wet conditions. It would be the opening night of the 2024 Versus Monster Truck Tour and it would come from you at the Saratoga County Fairground on the weekend of the Bellmont Stakes, but this would be a different type of horsepower as we would have 5 of the baddest monster trucks with Excavator Gage Bursey, Joe Fly Jordan Healey, Killer Bee Joe Jenkins, Temperature Rising Jesse Como, and Webslinger Shawn Olben along with the Outlaw Quad Racers with Team New York Vs Team Carolinas. The night would start with monster truck racing on a very unique crossover track and the finals would come down to Webslinger and Killer Bee with the win going to Killer Bee on a wet track as the rain would come in shortly after the event would get in. However, the rain would not dampen the crowd's enthuisement throughout the night. Then it would be the own monster truck skills competition and the trucks would do their best with the wet conditions and electrical issues that would come with the weather and the winner of the event would be Webslinger. Then for the intermission entertainment, we would have the Outlaw Quad Racing with Team New York defeating Team Carolinas 2 races to 1 on the night. Then to finish off the night it would be the Monster Truck Freestyle and it would be Excavaitor and he would do the best he could with the conditions and the broken front drive shaft. Then it would be Joe Fly but he was experiencing front steering issues all night and they would bite him again after the first hit. Then we would have Jesse Como with Temperature Rising and he would do what he could but was experiencing electrical issues on the run. Then it would be Killer Bee and Joe Jenkins and Killer Bee and he would give you the high flyer attack for the two minutes and finish the run with a discount. Then to close out the show it would be Shawn Oblen and the Webslinger and he would give you everything he got for the run but it would be cut short as he would knock the tire off the rim on the rebound of one of his high-flying attacks as for the competition Killer Bee would be the winner on the night. The Versus Monster Truck Tour will be back in action from the Saratoga County Fairgrounds tomorrow to finish off their weekend at the Fairgrounds. Gallery
