Eight of the baddest monster trucks on the independent circuit. Two nights on the Mansfield clay. And kids 10 and under get in completely free.
Mansfield Monster Trucks — presented by Outlaw Monster Truck Drags — hits Mansfield Speedway on Friday May 8 and Saturday May 9. This is the first-ever monster truck event at Ohio's newly revived home of horsepower, and it's built to be a full family night from the moment you pull in.
Get here early. Thunder Alley opens before the show, and the Thunder Alley Experience is included with your ticket.
Friday May 8 tickets Saturday May 9 ticketsThunder Alley — the experience starts before the show
Before the main show fires up, Thunder Alley opens on the Midway. This is where you get up close to the trucks and meet the drivers — the Thunder Alley Experience is included with your ticket. Want to ride on a real monster truck? Ride tickets are available for an additional $20.
For families with kids, Thunder Alley alone is worth the price of admission. Plan to arrive when gates open so you have plenty of time before the main show kicks off.

One family. Four trucks. Zero mercy.
The biggest story of this event is the Pagliarulo family. Matt, Mike, Nick, and Brooke are each fielding their own truck, and four of the eight entries come from one family. You won't see that dynamic anywhere else. It's a built-in rivalry, a generational story, and it makes every heat race more interesting.
Keep an eye on Brooke and the Missfire. It's brand new and she's one of the most compelling stories in the sport right now.
Outlaw TruckCross Offroad Championship
Monster trucks are the headliner, but they're not the only show. The Outlaw TruckCross Offroad Championship debuts at Mansfield across both nights. Short course offroad racing, door to door, on a purpose-built course. If you've never seen TruckCross racing, it's exactly as intense as it sounds and it adds a full second attraction to an already loaded night.
