Monster Jam World Finals 4

Monster Jam World Finals 4 was held on March 22, 2003 at Sam Boyd Stadium. This would be the first World Finals shown on SPEED, the first World Finals in which Tom Meents didn't get at least one championship, and the only World Finals in which Dennis Anderson did not compete, as he was recovering from a broken hand. Pablo Huffaker would compete for him in Grave Digger.

Track Layout
The racing track was the same as last years, with the freestyle track including two buses facing longways in the center, a rail car and a 30 foot tall trailer on the right side, two campers added to the left lane, a rock pile and dumpster truck on the right side, and a bus and trailer on a bed in the right lane.

Trivia

 * This Monster Jam World Finals had the fewest crashes of any Monster Jam World Finals event; only four crashes in total (one in racing and three in freestyle).
 * This was SoBe's only World Finals appearance (as Kathy Wintson transferred to Team Suzuki for next year's World Finals).
 * This was the first world finals where a non-FELD owned truck, which was Avenger driven by Jim Koehler, won a World Finals championship.
