The 2009 Checkered Flag Productions Monster Truck Winter Nationals season was filled with intense competition and highlighted by a hard fought battle for the championship.  The season culminated with the Monster Truck Grand Nationals Championship event this past weekend in Pocatello, ID where MTRA drivers Larry Swim and Jon Zimmer entered the weekend 1-2 in points.

Each driver excelled all season long, and wouldn’t you know it, they ended up paired together in the first round of racing in a match-up that would have huge championship implications.  Larry Swim charged into the corner with Bigfoot Bad Boy while Zimmer swung wide and that is the moment that would decide the race as Swim charged ahead to the victory putting Amsoil Shock Therapy out in the first round.  Swim would go on to prevail in both the racing and freestyle competitions, easily defending his points lead and clinching the 2009 Monster Truck Winter Nationals championship!

A big congratulations to the whole Bigfoot 4×4 team from all of us with the MTRA on their big victory!
