DUQUOIN — The Monster Truck Nationals powered by Black Diamond Harley Davidson will be in action at the Southern Illinois Center in Du Quoin Illinois on Friday and Saturday, February 24 and 25.

Six All-American Monster Trucks will compete for the gold medal including Bigfoot, the original monster truck; Hotsy High Pressure, the Hemi-powered contender from the famous Hall Brothers Racing Team;

Venom, back for a second year; Predator, Alan Pezo’s creation; Tailgator, the swamp creature will build on last season’s multiple event wins; and Ballastic.

Also invading the arena will be MEGASAURUS, the gargantuan, fire-breathing mechanical mutant from the Jurassic age.

Everyone with a paid admission is invited to a free pit party two hours before each performance where drivers give autographs and pose for photos.

Tickets for the three shows are on-sale now.
