This was Monster Jam's inaugural event held at the Ford Field, which would become a mainstay on the Monster Jam winter season tour for many years following and served as the replacement venue for the Silverdome in Pontiac, which held its last event two months earlier.
This was the final televised event of the season before the World Finals.
For unknown reasons, Dan Evans drove El Toro Loco instead of Lupe Soza.
Marc McDonald drove Superman as a fill-in for Chad Fortune. This was due to Chad suffering a minor back injury at Jacksonville the week before. Chad was advised to take a step back from driving for a week in order to be safe.
Bounty Hunter ran with its 2004-05 scheme for this event.
In the final round, Iron Outlaw knocked over a turning pole, which would've cost him the race however Blue Thunder missed the jump which evened out the times.
This was Adam Anderson's first televised victory.
