Monster Jam World Finals 1

The first "official" Monster Jam World Finals was held on March 25th, 2000. The event featured a sixteen truck lineup. This event was broadcasted on pay per view the day after the event.

Tom Meents, driving Goldberg, won the first Racing title over Scott Hartsock in Gunslinger. Dennis Anderson, driving Grave Digger, won the first Freestyle title with a perfect score of 40.

Despite the fact that only Airborne Ranger and King Krunch pulled out, WCW Nitro Machine, Prowler, and Reptoid's freestyles were not shown on the recordings.

Track Layout
The track layout was basic compared to modern standards, but many consider it to be a great track for its age.

The track had two trucks starting beside each other behind the stadium. They drove down the length of the stadium, made a U-turn and hit a car stack, crossing the finish line in the process.
