There is always a first when it comes to the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam and tonight had a lot of them. It was the first time at Paul Brown Stadium, the first time Monster Jam has performed in a stadium in the state of Ohio, it was the first time all three Anderson's were on the same track competing against one another and the first Stadium Freestyle win for the young Ryan Anderson.
The stage was set for the perfect line up of trucks that have all seen a piece of the world finals track except for El Matador. The seats filled up fast for a crazy night of racing and freestyle that would have the Cincinnati fans cheering for more.

The night started off with David Smith claiming the fastest qualifying pass of the night and Adam Anderson watching from the sidelines after breaking the truck in introductions. That didn't stop Adam from cheering on his brother and father who both took home a trophy tonight. Dennis gather himself up after breaking a tire off in round one of racing with a win over Mopar but also after the officials called him the winner in round two over Afterburner only to be taken away for not hitting the ramp with both front tires. Here is the kicker! Air Force Afterburner rolled at the finish and was unable to make it back for the semi finals giving Dennis and the Black and Green wrecking Machine another shot. Talk about controversy. and it didn't stop there. with the huge obstacles on the floor only four trucks made it into bouns time and it wasn't even the last five trucks to compete. Air Force, Grinder, Max D., and Grave Digger all came up short of the ninety seconds when each had either broke or rolled over giving Ryan his first freestyle stadium win. Here are tonight's results.
