GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) – The Heartland Events Center transformed into a dirt track for the 2Xtreme Monster Truck Live Tour and one of the guys behind the wheel happens to be well known from his career before retiring, Dennis Anderson.
That name may ring a bell for Monster Jam fanatics.
“I am the creator of the Grave Digger monster truck,” Anderson said. “I have retired from driving Grave Digger to doing these fan ride along that we choose people out of the stands as a contest.”
Since hanging up the boots he has shifted his focus on giving the fans an ultimate thriller and now doing side shows with his truck, ‘King Sling’. The last time Anderson was in Central Nebraska, more than 25 years ago. Now that he made his return to the region of the state but the colder elements made him do some extra preparations upon arrival.
“When I saw the weather on my phone before I even got to Nebraska I started buying more clothes, better boots and gloves for the artic blast that I felt like I was going to walk into,” Anderson said.
He loves coming to the midwestern venues as it reminds him of doing Monster Jam shows back in the day. In fact, fans were waiting at the door for him, including some who have been watching him for his 40+ career.
