I never saw him perform either. I went to World Finals in SoFi hoping he would do a “surprise” run. He was in attendance rooting everyone on though and they played this exact same vid in his honor. Cool seeing him salute the crowd. I was still bummed.

@@alexanderredlin8493 Nice! Ironically the last time I went to an MJ event was in 2011 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. I haven’t watched MJ since then but I come back every now and then. I’m an old school fan but I appreciate it’s still going on. My favorite drivers that I have the most memories of meeting was Jim Koehler and Chris Bergeron. Those guys were so passionate and really took the time to chat with us fans. I met Dennis Anderson once out in public which was crazy.

When I was little, I was the biggest Dennis fan and my father was the biggest Tom fan. We experienced our own minuscule bit of that rivalry watching Advanced Auto Parts Monster Jam every TV episode that those two legends had. I came to respect both evenly as I grew up, and as their retirement years from trucks were announced it was sad to see them go. Tom, as fans we were all ecstatic to see you win one more time in 2024 as you always have, giving it everything and not holding back. There’s a reason why the name Maximum Destruction went to you, and without you it will be hard to fill those shoes. Thank you Tom for everything, and best wishes in this new chapter of your career. I do hope to see you start up a big engine somewhere else in the future. ;)

Mam, I've been watching monster truck shows since I was like 8 years old, I'm now going to be 40 here soon. I finally got to meet this man few years back at the monster jam show in Glendale arizona, my wife got to meet him as well. I did get to let him know how big of a fan I am of him and his style that I told him I've been watching him since he started driving the Bill Goldberg truck. He just laughed and his response was "man you really aged yourself". I took it 100% as a joke cause it's true. That was so many lightyears ago. I've enjoyed watching every run he has made even if it was only 15 seconds long. Thank you Tom for all the memories from when I was a kid to being able to watch you live with my wife and daughter.
