A new black Max-D paint scheme, based off the 2017 Blackout toy, was unveiled during the encore as well. Chuck drove the original Maximum Destruction, Neil drove the Candy Apple Red Max-D, Colton drove the Gold Max-D, Jared drove the normal Max-D, and Tom debuted the new Black Max-D. Tom and Chucks trucks were brought onto the track riding on dump trucks, with Tom's even having fireworks. Jared, Colton, Neil and Chuck attempted stoppies at the same time. Colton and Jared then performed reverse backflips, followed by Chuck, Neil, and Tom performing various stunts with a specialized ramp while Colton performed leaps next to them.
