​Trivia

 * Even though four of the tours are named stadium tours they include at least on arena stop each.
 * For the arena tour each truck was team up with an atv partner.
 * At the first Anaheim show, three trucks from the semi-finals (two winners, one loser) were unable to return for the final round. Mohawk Warrior and Max-D both won their races, but were ruled out do to damage, Megalodon did not finish due to a roll. Whiplash was brought back after a round two loss to Megalodon to face Grave Digger in the finals.
 * The first Anaheim show was also the first event for five new chassis. It was the first event for Grave Digger #35, Max-D #9, Whiplash, a new Stone Crusher and the second competition Xtermigator.
 * Paul Strong drove Master of Disaster the weeks that Tom Herzog was already booked with Midnight Rider.
 * Brianna Mahon sat out for two weeks after a corkscrew attempt resulted in a hard landing on Whiplash's side and roof.
 * Only 13 trucks competed at the second Miami show as Big Kahuna wasn't able to compete due to truck damage on the first show thus, he got 0 points in that show
 * Colt Stephens was supposed to drive the brand new Brodozer truck but due to the truck's debut being postponed until further notice, he drove Zombie instead
 * Unlike last years Stadium Tours, where only the top 8 qualifiers race, this year, all 14 competitors comoete in racing with the top 2 fastest qualifiers get bye runs.
 * This was also the first year to include a Two-Wheel Skills Competition in both Stadium and Arena Tours.
