Action Sports Superstar Travis Pastrana to Compete in Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam in Baltimore
June 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment
(Aurora, Illinois – Feld Motor Sports PR) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today that action sports icon Travis Pastrana, of Annapolis, Md., will compete in the inaugural Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam® at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on July 9, bringing “Havoc to the Harbor.” Pastrana, a fifth-place finisher in freestyle at the 2009 Monster Jam World Finals®, looks forward to wrestling with his 2000-horsepower monster truck.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of Monster Jam and have enjoyed driving the trucks whenever I can,” said Pastrana. “Monster trucks are the most explosive and hard-to-control vehicles that I’ve ever had the privilege to drive. Throw precision and calculation out the window. With close to 2000 horsepower, Monster Jam is sheer excitement.”
Pastrana will pilot the Feld Motor Sports owned Nitro Circus truck at the Baltimore event.
With a guy-next-door personality, Pastrana is a fan favorite regardless what he is riding or racing. When he straps himself into his Nitro Circus® monster truck for the first time ever at M&T Bank Stadium, Pastrana will further diversify his motorsports portfolio as he competes in his inaugural Monster Jam racing competition.
The Nitro Circus truck is normally driven by Pastrana’s good friend a seasoned Monster Jam competitor Cam McQueen.
“My long time friend Cam McQueen has been doing really well in the Nitro Circus truck, but whenever I have a chance to throw him out and drive it myself, I make him watch!”
“It scares me,” said McQueen. “People think I’m hard on equipment – just wait ‘till he gets behind the wheel! It’s going be a blast! Travis is extremely gifted at what he does. However, I’ve managed to beat him at one thing in my life, and I plan to keep it that way. Travis brings something to the table that nobody else can. Without question, this will be the most amazing, entertaining Monster Jam event they will ever witness. And no matter what venue he attends, Travis never leaves a single fan unhappy.”
Pastrana is a big fan of monster trucks, seen here posing with Bobby Holman's monster truck at the 2010 Eldora Speedway Prelude to the Dream.
While McQueen made history when he successfully landed a backflip last year at the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas, Pastrana has no problem in “one-upping” his buddy.
“I am not as good as Cam, but there is always a chance I could get lucky on any given day and do something that will one-up him,” said Pastrana. “Honestly, though, I just want to get as much experience as I can and try to do my best every time I am in the truck.”
Pastrana, 27, is the most successful competitor in the history of the X-Games. Before turning pro, Pastrana enjoyed an illustrious amateur motocross career, where he captured five national titles. Highlighting his professional career are the 2000 125cc AMA Motocross championship and the 2001 125cc Eastern Regional Supercross Lites class championship. He transferred his two-wheel experience to four wheels and captured multiple Rally Car championship and is now running a limited schedule on NASCAR’s Nationwide Series. He even finished eighth in the Big Buck Hunter Pro World Championships.
The Party in the Pits at M&T Bank Stadium takes place from 2:30-5:30 p.m., Saturday, July 9, where fans can meet and greet some of the world’s top Monster Jam drivers, including Pastrana. The gates open at 5:30 and the show begins at 7:30. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, the M&T Bank stadium box office or online at www.MonsterJam.com. Total Access passes are $75; Gold Circle tickets are $35; SuperValue tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for kids. Total Access Passes can only be purchased by calling 410-261-7283

Traxxas Joins the European Monster Jam® Tour as the Official Hobby Class Radio Control Truck
June 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment
(Aurora, Illinois – Feld Motor Sports PR) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today that Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control®, has inked a deal to become the official and exclusive hobby class radio control truck of the European Monster Jam® tour. As part of Traxxas’ involvement with the European tour, they will also be sponsoring the new Traxxas E-Maxx monster truck race team, which will compete at all six stops of the tour.
“Traxxas is proud to be the Official and Exclusive Hobby Class Radio Control Vehicle of Monster Jam Europe,” said Traxxas President Mike Jenkins. “We’re bringing our full program to supercharge the excitement for European Monster Jam audiences. Each event will feature high-flying, action packed radio control stunt demos, a full product showcase, and our popular Try-Me Track where show attendees can test their own skills on our specially prepared track.”
Jenkins added, “On track, the full size Traxxas E-Maxx will be going head-to-head with best Monster Jam trucks and drivers in competition today. I hope everyone who is a fan of big horsepower will come out and see Traxxas rock the house.”
The all-new Traxxas E-Maxx monster truck will be competing during the six-stop European Monster Jam tour.
“Since January, Traxxas has been an integral part of the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam tour with their interactive displays both on and off the track, said Tim Murray, vice president of sales, Feld Motor Sports. Their presence has been a huge hit amongst the millions of loyal fans that attend our events. We are happy to work with Traxxas to expand the relationship with Monster Jam internationally. We are also excited to welcome the Traxxas sponsored monster truck, Traxxas E-Maxx, which will be competing throughout the six-stop European tour.”
In addition to being one of the highly-recognized sponsors of Monster Jam and its European tour, Traxxas will receive traditional sponsorship benefits and exhibit space within the pit party at all six cities to showcase their try-me-track that will give fans a first-hand experience of the industry-leading Traxxas hobby-class radio-controlled product. During each event, Traxxas will also be giving away exclusive Monster Jam licensed hobby class radio controlled monster trucks.
After a month-long sail across the Atlantic, Monster Jam returns to Europe for the eighth year, making stops at five countries and three new cities. In Europe alone, these massive machines have entertained nearly two million fans. Monster Jam’s toughest monster trucks such as Grave Digger®, El Toro Loco®, Maximum Destruction®, Monster Mutt® and now, making its worldwide debut the Traxxas E-Maxx, take to the stage. Of the 10 trucks competing this year, eight battled at the Monster Jam World Finals℠.
The 2011 tour has already made two of its three inaugural tour stops visiting Derby, UK two weeks ago and Madrid, Spain this past Saturday, June 11. The tour resumes in September at the new Wroclaw Stadium, of Wroclaw, Poland, which happens to be the first event to ever play at this venue. Three weeks later, Monster Jam will head to Arnhem, Netherlands for its hallmark event at the Gelredome. The 2011 Monster Jam European tour comes to a close November 12 from Barcelona, Spain’s Estadio Olimpico.

About Traxxas
Traxxas was founded in 1986, and is the innovator of “ready to run” (RTR) radio-controlled models. Before the company popularized the concept, the radio-controlled hobby was built around kits that required assembly and painting, and did not include all the electronics required to operate them. Traxxas changed all that by offering professionally assembled models with the hobby-class performance of kits. Since then, “RTR” models have become the industry standard. Traxxas takes the concept further with “Ready-To-Race®,” and offers the fastest, most complete, highest-performance RTR models available.
Traxxas is the fastest name in radio control and builds the fastest Ready-To-Race® R/C models in the world. Its fastest cars and trucks can top 70mph, with powerful nitro-burning 2-stroke engines and state-of-the-art brushless electric motors. Traxxas models are sold in hobby stores worldwide and online at www.Traxxas.com.
