Turning Pole

Turning Poles are plastic cylinders used in Monster Jam Racing tracks in the early 2000s. These poles are located at every corner of a turn at a racing track. Once a pole is hit or knocked over by a truck, a 5 second penalty is added to the final elapsed time of the trucks pass. The usage of turning poles were reduced since the early 2010s and were replaced by Crush cars instead. Today, these poles are rarely used.
