The More Monster Jam series (Also written as #MoreMonster Jam) was a series of 11 arena events featured throughout the 2015 Monster Jam season, with eight rookie drivers (minus the Basl brothers) competing in multiple events. It was the first incarnation of what was to become the Monster Jam Triple Threat Series, as drivers would not only compete in monster trucks, but also in Speedsters and ATVs.

The series began in Hampton, Virginia in December 2014, and concluded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in March 2015. After winning the first overall event championship in Des Moines, Morgan Kane in Max-D clinched the series championship, with Colton Eichelberger in Grave Digger finishing in the runner-up position. Meanwhile, Coty Saucier in Monster Energy would finish third in the standings after winning multiple championships throughout the series. In 2016, the series would be replaced by the Monster Jam AMSOIL Series.

Trivia[]

  • This series marked the only occurrences of the following:
    • The only season to be written under the More Monster Jam name.
    • The only season to feature Dalton Millican, as he would die in a motorcycle accident in August later that year.
  • Although Colton Eichelberger drove Grave Digger, he is the stepson of Max-D creator and driver Tom Meents.
  • Even more ironic, Morgan Kane, driver of Max-D, was a childhood friend to Adam & Ryan Anderson, sons of Grave Digger inventor and driver, Dennis Anderson as a kid.
  • Although Daron Basl was the most experienced driver in the series, he would finish last in the standings.
  • In Des Moines, Colton Eichelberger attempted and nearly completed the first arena backflip in a Monster Jam event. However, the truck rolled over in the process.
  • Coty Saucier began doing a stoppie as his signature move in freestyle.
  • Controversy arose on social media as driver Coty Saucier became vocal of the poor fan judging.
  • Despite being the first show on the series, the Hampton show would not count towards the season point standings. Instead, the series points officially commenced in Des Moines.
  • The 2015 Stockholm show can be considered an unofficial event of the series, as it featured all drivers with the exception of Bailey Shea and Dalton Millican, who were replaced by Nic Granlund in El Diablo and Alx Danielsson, two drivers who had competed in that event the previous year driving Bauhaus and The Mauler.
  • George Balhan and JP Ruggiero would join the athletes for summer events.
