Earth Shaker Monster Truck driver Tristan England has won the BKT Racing Championship. The Texas native won his first World Championship at World Finals XXII at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
England was perfect on the night. He won all four races to win the Championship.
He defeated Bakugan Dragonid Monster Truck driver Camden Murphy in the final round. England had a starting line advantage and held on throughout the race for the win.
England defeated Grave Digger driver Brandon Vinson in one semifinal pairing. Vinson was the 2022 World Finals Racing Champion in the rain at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
Vinson became England’s opponent when Bad Company driver John Gordon could not answer the call. Gordon and his team was sidelined due to a driveline issue.
The second pairing saw Murphy defeat Megalodon driver Cory Rummell.
Murphy previously had England’s number before this World Finals final round. Murphy had a 16-5 advantage in prior racing rounds, according to Monster Jam.
However, it was the Texan, who was celebrating his first World Championship at Monster Jam’s first World Finals in Nashville.
England is the first World Finals Racing Champion to get a bye in the first round since 2012. That’s when Maximum Destruction (driven by Tom Meents) defeated Monster Energy (driven by Damon Bradshaw) in the final round.
