November 20th, 2009 - When we last left you, Devin and Barbarian were headed up to Elko Speedway in Minnesota to take part in a two truck freestyle exhibition with none other than Jimmy Creten and the Bounty Hunter!  It was Devin's first trip up to Elko Speedway and we had a great time. Devin put on a strong effort for the fans and you can see his run in our Media section courtesy of Minnesota fan Travis Sewilo. After Elko, we would have another few weeks back at the shop before heading down to Jacksonville, Texas this past weekend for an event at Mudd Creek Off Road Park. Against a tough lineup featuring 7 other trucks including Amsoil Shock Therapy and War Wizard, Devin swept the weekend's freestyle competition!  Barbarian also made it to the finals Friday against Mitch Tulachka in Geter Done, but Mitch just edged out Devin for the racing win. The next event on the schedule is an exciting one as Devin will be heading south of the border to participate in the Monster Trucks Showdown at Monterrey's huge Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey!  Devin will be behind the wheel of good friend Bill Payne's California Kid monster truck taking on stars like Bill himself in Rock Star, Bounty Hunter, Iron Outlaw, Unnamed & Untamed, Nasty Boy and more!  Stay tuned for a recap from that event and get ready for 2010 when Barbarian will run for the CFP Championship!

October 7th, 2009 - The Kaboom Motorsports team has been enjoying some time off since our last event back in mid-August, but this weekend we're back on the road as we head up to Elko Speedway in Minnesota for some exhibition freestyle with Bounty Hunter!  If you're from the Elko, Minnesota area, be sure to come on out Saturday night and see Barbarian in action. In other news, we've firmed up our first quarter schedule for 2010 and we're proud to announce that Devin Jones will be running for the Checkered Flag Productions Monster Truck Winter Nationals Championship!  We're also back with our friends on the O'Reilly Outlaw Nationals tour and tentatively booked for our first major stadium Monster Jam event. It should be one heck of a first quarter and we look forward to challenging Larry Swim with Bigfoot Bad Boy and Bill Payne with Rock Star for the 2010 CFP title!  Check out our Schedule page now to see where Devin and Barbarian will be to start off 2010.

August 20th, 2009 - It's been a hot summer month of August for Kaboom Motorsports, as the team has rocked crowds from Colorado all the way down to Alabama. We started off the month in the little town of Cheyenne Wells, CO for CFP, as Devin and Barbarian would be taking on a tough lineup including Larry Swim in Bigfoot Bad Boy and Bill Payne in Rock Star. Devin put on great performances for both Saturday shows, but Bill and Larry stole the event with Larry sweeping racing and Bill sweeping wheelies and freestyle. From there it was on to an event close to home as Devin took the truck, re-bodied as Alter Ego, on down to Muskogee, Oklahoma for an exhibition freestyle at Outlaw Motor Speedway. Devin rocked and nearly rolled in 2008 at Outlaw Motor Speedway, and 2009 would be no different as he put on an awesome show for the fans with a freestyle that would have been tough to beat at any show. For two years Devin has got to perform in front of a near sellout crowd at Outlaw Motor Speedway, and we're already looking forward to next year!  Check out video of Devin's run courtesy of our good friend Kaedon Berry below:

After a week off, it was back on the road as Alter Ego would be competing at East Alabama Motor Speedway's annual monster truck show in Phenix City, AL. It would be a great weekend for Devin as he swept both nights of freestyle and picked up the racing win on Saturday. Check out the Media page for more video from recent events and stay tuned for more updates as we continue a great 2009!!

July 29th, 2009 - The month of July has seen some time off for the team, as well as the return of the Alter Ego body this past weekend!! After a couple weeks off, Devin and Barbarian were back in action at Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, MO. Devin looked to have a wheelie contest win in the bag at the Saturday night only event, but Dawn Creten just took the win in Iron Outlaw. Devin was doing great in the Chicago-style racing, when a near rollover in the semi-finals allowed Greg Adams to take the win. Freestyle however would be all Barbarian however, as Devin nailed down the win with a wild donut that would see a flat tire thrown completely off the rim!!

Then it was back to the shop to change over to the Alter Ego body for the first time since late 2008, and then on down to Austin, TX for the annual Texas Heatwave. Devin would once again dominate the field in freestyle picking up two more wins to complete the month of July. We’ve got more new Photos for you to check out from Grain Valley, as well as some new Videos on the Media page. Next weekend we’re in Cheyenne Wells, CO for CFP and then Muskogee, OK for a freestyle exhibition at Outlaw Motor Speedway. We’ve also got plenty of dates open for the rest of the year, so promoters, book Barbarian or Alter Ego while we still have availability!! Stay tuned fans, more updates coming soon!!

July 4th, 2009 - Happy 4th of July from all of us here at Kaboom Motorsports!! It’s been four shows since our last update, with the first of those coming in mid-May in Clovis, NM. We had a great time at that event competing against Bounty Hunter and Larry Quick in Ghost Ryder. We started off June by running the Monster Truck Racing Super Series in Springdale, Arkansas, one of our favorite shows. Devin had a great weekend in Springdale, sweeping not only the Chicago-style racing, but freestyle as well.

June would continue to treat Devin well for two weeks in Kansas for CFP after Devin took a week off to get married to his beautiful fiancée Tonee. Barbarian and Bigfoot Bad Boy would put on awesome performances both weekends, with Devin taking three of the four freestyles and Larry Swim the other. Dodge City in particular saw Barbarian catch some huge air over the giant bus stack. Halfway through the year Devin now has six racing victories and eleven freestyle wins!!

May 12th, 2009 - Well, the hometown show is in the books and we are proud to announce that Devin had a great weekend and brought home the Saturday night freestyle win!! Devin would turn in great wheelie and freestyle performances Friday night, but would be just edged out by Brute Force and Bounty Hunter. Saturday night however, Devin refused to lose, standing Barbarian straight up and down to take the wheelie win and absolutely going off in freestyle to defeat Bounty Hunter. We’ve got the Photos page updated with pics from the hometown event and from last month’s Wichita show, so check those out. We’ll be back with more updates, stay tuned!!

May 5th, 2009 - Hey fans, it’s time to bring you up to date on all the latest Kaboom Motorsports action!! After a couple of weeks off to start out April, Devin and Barbarian would help CFP break in a new arena in Wichita, KS. It was a great weekend for Barbarian, going up against Bigfoot, Equalizer, Hot Tamale and others, and Devin looked to have freestyle in the bag Saturday night, but Equalizer narrowly got the nod. From there it was down to Fort Smith, Arkansas with the Monster Truck Racing Super Series. Devin had a great weekend, picking up back to back straight line racing wins and also winning Chicago-style and freestyle on Saturday to complete the evening sweep. After a long winter and spring of indoor competition, Devin finally got to take Barbarian outdoors this past weekend for an exhibition freestyle event in Kilgore, Texas. Devin and Jerry Perry with Brute Force put on a great show with lots of wheelies and plenty of dusty donuts. This weekend will bring the most exciting show of each year, the hometown O’Reilly Outlaw Nationals in Miami, Oklahoma!! Stay tuned for a recap from the show!!

April 3rd, 2009 - March is in the books for Kaboom Motorsports! The Monster Truck Racing Super Series would begin the month of March at Sedalia, Missouri’s Matthewson Exhibition Center and Devin would be part of a strong lineup competing. Devin picked up his first racing win of the season Friday night, taking down the competition during Chicago-style racing. Devin looked to have freestyle in the bag, but a wild reverser and near rollover from Andy Hoffman relegated Barbarian to runner-up. Barbarian wouldn’t be topped Saturday night, grabbing incredible slap wheelies in the tiny indoor arena and taking the win.

The month’s next show would be in Corinth, MS for the Southern Truck & Bull Challenge. Barbarian and Bearfoot would battle all weekend with Devin prevailing Saturday night in freestyle. The last weekend of March would see Devin back on the Monster Jam tour, nearly taking his first Monster Jam win in the finals of racing Friday night. Check out the Photos section to see pictures from Sedalia courtesy of TheMonsterBlog.com and stay tuned for more updates!!

March 4th, 2009 - Devin Jones and Barbarian have just completed another month on the road, with February getting started out in Knoxville, TN for the team’s second Monster Jam. Devin would turn in some solid efforts all weekend despite his personal dislike of concrete events. Then it was back to the O’Reilly Outlaw Nationals series in Odessa, TX where Devin would finally get the monkey off his back and find victory lane for the first time in 2009. While Andy Hoffman and Nitemare were still tops in racing, Devin drove Barbarian to a weekend sweep of freestyle. After Odessa, it was west to Albuquerque for Monster Jam at the Tingley Coliseum. Devin put together another solid weekend performance, but was still unable to break into the Monster Jam winner’s circle. Monster Nation’s second show of the year was this past weekend in Beaumont, TX, where Devin ran against a stacked lineup including Equalizer, Hot Tamale and others. Devin ran the wheels off Barbarian, but the Equalizer team was not to be beat this weekend. Stay tuned for more updates as the month of March gets underway!!

February 2nd, 2009 - The first month of the year is in the books for Devin Jones and Barbarian!! The year started off very exciting for the Kaboom Motorsports team as Devin competed in his very first Monster Jam event at the Fedex Forum in Memphis, TN. Devin made a great showing against Charlie Pauken in Grave Digger, making the finals on Friday night and giving Charlie a run for his money in freestyle each night as well. From there it was off to Bossier City, LA where Devin would compete in the first Monster Nation event of the year. After another solid weekend, Barbarian would be on the way down to Belton, TX for the CFP Monster Truck Winter Nationals. Devin put on some great performances in Belton once more, but was unable to find victory lane. This past weekend was the first of the O’Reilly Outlaw Nationals 2009 season. Once again despite Devin’s best efforts, he would be unable to top Andy Hoffman in Nitemare, who swept the weekend. Next month will see more Monster Jam, more O’Reilly Outlaw Nationals and another Monster Nation event, stay tuned for updates!!
