Partially incorrect. There are a few reasons as to why they won't compete with them.

1. Chandler originally wanted to film the Bigfoot trucks competing in Monster Jam for their own promotional purposes. Any type of promoting (such as film and merchandise) is forbidden by FELD. Thus, they haven't allowed them to compete.

2. Chandler does not like the way the traditional monster truck event is ran by FELD. Monster Jam encourages and demonstrates a lot of backflips, huge air, moonwalks, stoppies, pogos, Paxton Poppers, etc. in their shows. The team do not like this type of direction the sport is undertaking, thus why you've never seen Bigfoot perform a backflip, attempt a popper and rarely perform huge air.

3. A lot of sponsors which FELD are partnered with are also partnered with Bigfoot (a good example would be Lucas Oil). Though this wouldn't be much of a problem.

4. Bigfoot has a lot of bodies with different designs which are run on and off quite frequently. According to some sources, FELD doesn't allow the constant body changes and only allows 1-2 special bodies per year for independents.

5. Monster Jam like to include drivers who are very popular on social media, and who are also young and fresh. If you aren't then you won't get chosen for bigger events such as stadium tours and summer shows, examples include Bad News Travels Fast and Brandon Derrows as well as Raminator and Mark Hall. The only Bigfoot driver who looks somewhat new is Christian Norman, and yet he still isn't that social media famous.
