Forget about your typical rush hour traffic jam. Think Monster Jam!
This weekend at the Sprint Center, thousands of pounds of big truck action will be flying around the dirt-covered arena floor.

One of the best drivers on the circuit spent some time with us early Friday morning.
Ami Houde came to Monster Jam from Motocross.
According to Ami, it takes athleticism, concentration and persistence to find success behind these big wheels.

Ami and her ride, Zombie, are certainly doing it right as she is currently second in points with an eye on the top spot.
A new feature this year are the Speedsters. Ami’s mini-me version of Zombie takes the jumps with amazing ease, of course, that’s with a pro in the driver’s seat.

Monster Jam pulls in all ages and always features highly-charged competition.
More than anything, it is fun!
Oh, and when Ami Houde comes roaring on to the floor, go ahead and hold those arms out in front of you, sway from side to side and 'Do The Zombie.'
