It is the single most recognizable name in all of motorsports and it is coming to Palm Beach International Raceway on October 9 to put on a show like never before.

Grave Digger, Monster Jam’s most recognizable star, will headline one of the most value-packed shows in southern Florida history as the Thunder Jam presented by Taco Bell roars into Palm Beach International Raceway October 9 at 7 p.m. for one night of over-the-top motorsports action.

“We have raced jets, we have raced wheelstanders, we have raced some of the fastest cars on the planet, but on October 9 we are going to see a new star take the stage,” said James Marchyshyn, Thunder Jam Operations Manager. “When Grave Digger rolls onto the track with tires as tall as the tower, it is going to be a sight unlike anything we have seen at Thunder Jam before."

Grave Digger will highlight an incredible night that will also feature side-by-side jet trains, the “Cool Bus” wheelstanding school bus and one of the most unbelievable acts in the world today – Benny the Human Bomb.

In addition to an incredible show, the entire night can be witnessed for the incredibly low price of just $20 for adults and $5 for children. And to add even more value to the show, organizers have announced a coupon for a free kid’s ticket with the purchase of an adult pass that can be found at participating Taco Bell locations or by printing the coupon online at ThunderJam.com.

“After we hosted such a successful Nitro Jam here at Palm Beach International Raceway in January, I’ve really been looking forward to this Thunder Jam event,” said Jason Rittenberry, president of Palm Beach International Raceway. “As the planning for the show came together, I only got more excited. The lineup of action on October 9 can’t be topped and it’s all for a great price. Watching Grave Digger go down the drag strip at PBIR will be a sight to see.”

Headlining the Thunder Jam presented by Taco Bell will be the biggest name in motorsports today, the legendary Grave Digger monster truck.

By far the biggest star in the highly popular Monster Jam series and perhaps one of the most recognizable names in all of racing, Grave Digger has racked up numerous awards and has achieved near rock star status.

The 1950 style Chevrolet truck has become an icon of the sport with its ghoulish green and black paint job and menacing red headlights and has made a name for itself with its go-or-go-home style of racing. Weighing in at nearly 12,000 pounds and powered by a 575 cubic inch Chevy Big Block engine, Grave Digger has garnered four Monster Jam Points Championships, one Freestyle Championship and two Monster Jam World Racing Championships while under the direction of a handful of drivers.

And on October 9 Grave Digger will take on a brand new challenge – drag racing. During the Thunder Jam at Palm Beach Grave Digger will take on one lucky fan in a race to the quarter-mile to cap off an incredible evening of motorsports entertainment.

In addition to Grave Digger, the Thunder Jam at Palm Beach will also feature the battle of the jet trains as the 300 mile-per-hour “Cannonball Express” and the “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” light up the night sky and stir the senses with an incredible display of fire, sound and speed.

Fans will also witness the “Cool Bus” wheelstanding school bus as driver Ken Nelson tries to keep the headlights of his heavily modified yellow race machine pointing north the length of the track. The night will wrap up with the insane show of Benny the Human Bomb as the legendary showman straps himself into his car and sets it ablaze in spectacular fashion.

It is a show you simply can’t miss and it all takes place October 9 at Palm Beach International Raceway.

Along with all the on-track action fans will also be invited to participate in the ThunderFest Pit Party prior to the start of the main event. Fans will be able to interact with the stars of Thunder Jam and enjoy a fun family atmosphere before witnessing the event later that night.

Tickets for the October 9 event are just $20 for adults and FREE for children (12 and under) with the coupon found online at ThunderJam.com and at participating Taco Bell locations. And, as always, parking and access to the ThunderFest Pit Party is free with admission.

Don’t miss out on the biggest Thunder Jam of the year October 9 at Palm Beach International Raceway. For more information logon to ThunderJam.com, Palm Beach International Raceway or call 561-622-1400.
