The 2016 Monster Jam Fox Sports 1 Championship Series was the second season for the Fox Sports 1 Championship Series. The series began at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA, and would end at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY.
The same event was also the debut show for Pirate's Curse, Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog, and Alien Invasion (as an encore), and at the Detroit show, the video can be found here.
During the tour, King Krunch ran three different bodies. He ran the normal off road Ford body in Atlanta, Tampa and Orlando. In Indianapolis, he debuted a brand new Chevy Blazer body with a retro paint scheme. A week after Indianapolis, he ran the same retro paint scheme on a GMC body and campaigned the body all the way to the end of the season.
This was the first season for Adam Anderson in Grave Digger, Steven Sims in Pirate's Curse and Dustin Brown in Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog, as well as the first Monster Jam season of Brutus with Brad Allen behind the wheel, the first for the truck since the retirement of Chris Bergeron in 2013.
This championship was also be the first with a reigning champion, with the 2015 champion Mike Vaters II in Overkill Evolution competing.
Bari Musawwir in Zombie, who competed in the first FS1 Series was in the East Coast More Monster Jam tour while Becky McDonough who competed in the first More Monster Jam tour competed in this tour.
Only four drivers from the original tour returned with the same truck. Being Jim Koehler with Avenger, Steve Sims with Stone Crusher, Damon Bradshaw with Monster Energy, and Linsey Weenk with Lucas Oil Crusader.
Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, El Toro Loco, War Wizard, and Hooked all returned, but with different drivers.
This would be David Smith and King Krunch's return to competition after over a year long hiatus.
This was the final Fox Sports 1 Series to use the 2-point/1-point point system.
This was the first and only season that mega trucks competed in the FS1 Series.
Hooked was the only truck to not flip over in any event in this series.
The Syracuse event featured a freestyle exhibition encore from Max-D.
Grave Digger was only able to make one hit during freestyle in Syracuse due to a missing fuel cap.
