Weston ''Teeny Man'' Anderson (born April 20th, 2002) is a monster truck driver out of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina who drove Bog Hog, and has driven Grave Digger since 2022. He is the youngest son of Dennis Anderson, and younger brother of Adam, Ryan and Krysten Anderson.
Career[]
Weston began his career in mud trucks driving the Bog Hog mega truck and later started driving King Sling.
In 2021, Weston would set the mega truck world record jump (at 225 ft.) in King Sling at a MidAmerica Outdoors event in Oklahoma.
In 2022, Weston began competing in Monster Jam and Team Grave Digger, competing in Monster Jam Arena Championship Series East, using Morgan Kane's former Grave Digger 33. However, later during the season, he would receive Grave Digger 37, after he totaled Grave Digger 33 in Hampton, Virginia's events. In Allentown, Pennsylvania, he would do a reverse moonflip in freestyle. It was not on purpose. The rear steer was broke. He was mad at the truck & he just wanted to crash it. He would rate it a 9 out 10. He didn't rate it a 10 because he doesn't think he'll ever be able to do it again. Weston would ultimately win the tour in April at Southaven, Mississippi, earning the first invite to Monster Jam World Finals XXI. During the series, Weston also had a notable rivalry with former Monster Energy driver and current driver of Dragon, Coty Saucier. His run in the series for his rookie season would be considered the greatest rookie season for a driver in Monster Jam history by many, including Scott Douglass. Weston won the Rookie of the Year award for this. He was supposed to compete in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, but was replaced by Tyler Menninga. For the Grave Digger 40th anniversary encore, he drove the red primer Grave Digger truck. He drove Son-uva Digger in Glendale, Arizona on October 1 in place of Ryan Anderson, which marked his stadium debut.
In 2023, Weston competed on Arena Championship Series East again. In Cincinnati at show 3, he started is freestyle with a backflip, but broke. He would not receive a score. Weston won the series for the second straight year in a row over Armando Castro in El Toro Loco. This earned him an automatic bid to Monster Jam World Finals XXII in Nashville, Tennessee. He ran an orange body on his truck for the event and would also be invited to compete in the two-wheel skills championship competition. Also in 2023, he won the Arena Freestyle of the Year award.
In 2024, Weston competes on Arena Championship Series Central, making it the first time he does not compete on the East Arena Series. He would perform at least one wheelie donut, a move that hasn't been done since 2008. He won by 333 points over Fernando Martinez in El Toro Loco, giving him an invite to Monster Jam World Finals XXIIl. He used the orange body again for the event. He appeared on Inside Monster Jam. In Hamilton, Ontario, he won both overall event championships on his birthday, along with the series championship that same weekend. Weston is still undefeated in his 3 years as a driver. At show 2 in Southaven, he won freestyle with a 9.998, tying Blake Granger's highest ever score from San Jose. He won the Arena Two Wheel Skills award. He drove the new Grave Digger 42 in Arlington.
In 2025, he will compete on Arena Series West.
