From 1995-1998, there were no official Monster Jam World Finals events. A common misconception is that the first Monster Jam World Finals took place in 1999, being the Motor Madness World Finals, but the USHRA had been hosting World Finals events featuring monster truck competition since as early as 1987. As a result of complications onset by the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Finals weren't held 2020 or 2021, though the World Finals later returned in 2022. To this day, Monster Jam still runs a points series that all drivers compete in.Įvery year from 2000 to 2019, and since returning in 2022, a Monster Jam World Finals championship event has taken place, and has since become one of the most popular and coveted monster truck events. In 2015, the points series was reintroduced in two new tours, the Amsoil More Monster Jam Triple Threat Series and the Fox Sports 1 Championship series. Monster Jam would bring back the points series in 1999, but once again retire it by 2004. However, these are all considered 'Monster Jam' events, due to them all being officiated by the USHRA and all part of the same monster truck series.įrom 1995-1998, there was no official points series championship, meaning the drivers were competing for individual event championships only. Some events in 1999 were even given the name 'USA Motor Spectacular', following the buyout of USA Motorsports the following year, despite being USHRA-officiated events. Names such as 'Power Jam', 'Ultimate Thrill Show', 'Grand Slam Super Series', 'Motor Spectacular', and 'The Superbowl of Motorsports' were used intermittently for USHRA events during the 1990's, some even into the 2000's.

While the name 'Monster Jam' was first used in 1992, not all events officiated by the USHRA (outside of Thunder Nationals) were promoted as Monster Jam events. The name was first used for a USHRA event in October of 1992 and has since become the longest running and most successful monster truck competition series to date. Monster Jam is a monster truck series officiated by the USHRA and owned by FELD Motorsports.
