From Kreg's web site .....
No BOSS in VEGAS!
Kreg released the news today that he and his ride will not be in Vegas for the World Finals. This was a surprise to many as he is the only Monster Jam regular that will not be at the big show. When pressed for information Kreg was unsure of why this was the case. Kreg said "One of the reasons I took the seat in Donkey Kong was that I was told that would be my seat back to the World Finals, and that was reaffirmed to me only three weeks ago on the heels of my major stadium win in Phoenix." Kreg went on to say "The call was a shock, and it caught me and the family off guard as I bought them all tickets to Vegas based upon the information I was told.' To say the very least this is a shock as Kreg has several racing wins in his schedule as well as the big win in freestyle in Phoenix, so the Boss nation will once again be forced to sit out the big game for the second year in a row. When asked about what's next Kreg said "Despite my disappointment, I am not bitter and respect the Feld family a great deal." "I will see where I am when the season is finished and I guess anything is possible." For Kreg's fans he had the following message. "Thank you for coming out and being a part of who I am week in and week out, and for all of your support". Man, all I have to say is, I MISS THAT BIG YELLOW HUMMER!

Is it too late to start a petition .... Darryl. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Donkey Kong isn't going to the finals, I was under the impression that all sponsored trucks were a part of the show, I guess not.

So no Aussie in the Vegas world finals then!!!

The way I read it ( Note = my view ) is that Kreg is not going , I don't read Donkey Kong isn't going .
There were two drivers in Blue Thunder this year , and Weenk is the Finals driver and Krmel is sitting back as the previous driver of DK . My guess is that he will drive it .
It is a sponsor truck after all . And that is where the $$$'s are .
Just like Batman , Superman , etc ; some of which shouldn't be there .
Anyway i hope I'm wrong , because if DK is there with another driver , then that's just more salt in the wound ..........

Ok I thought DK would be there, as it is a sponsored truck.
Even though he seems to be taking it well on the out side, but he has got to be hurting on the inside and I really don't blame him. If he is good enough to pilot the truck for the season, then why not in the finals.

Well maybe Kreg picked up a bit of that Aussie Spirit while he was here ....

When they are trying to put you down , come back and stick it in their face ...

Check this out from MonsterJam.com results ....

Monster Jam Racing Winner

Friday Racing Winner: Donkey Kong driven by Kreg Christensen
Saturday 2pm Racing Winner: GraveDigger driven by Rod Schmidt
Saturday Night Winner: Donkey Kong driven by Kreg Christensen

Monster Jam Freestyle Winner

Friday Freestyle Winner: Air Force AfterBurner Damon Bradshaw
Saturday 2pm Freestyle Winner: Donkey Kong driven by Kreg Christensen
Saturday Night Winner: GraveDigger driven by Rod Schmidt

The only disappointment with that is he never actually got double down wins in the same session.

Nevertheless , well done Kreg .....
We all love you down here .
Hurry back soon ,
Darryl.

From speaking with Clive, Las Vegas's loss could be Perth Australia's Gain, with Kreg Christensen set to join two other Americans Corey Clarke and (Kirk Dabney Driver) David Brown in the line up here that night.

Funny thing Clive is supposed to be in Vegas himself that night for meetings with drivers etc and he is now electing to stay and be part of a six truck event that will be billed as West Australia's first ever Australia V USA teams challenge three USA drivers v Three Aussies with Kreg as Captain of the USA assault.

All will be revealed soon enough.

That makes it sound sinister, but it really isn't.

yes very sadly I know them all to well going to the drag events all the time

$10 for parking is double what they normally change on a drag night,
all prices are $20 more then what they normally charge
and not to mention it costs like $15 for a quarter chicken/chips for dinner :cry:
