A Thrilling Monster Jam Mini Build Preview
Get ready for a high-octane experience as
Northern Tool + Equipment welcomes
Armando Castro, the renowned driver of the
El Toro Loco truck, along with fellow Monster Jam superstar
Colt Stephens, who drives
ThunderROARus. This exciting event is set to take place at their store in
Buda, TX on
Thursday, June 5th from
2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Fans can meet Castro, get autographs, and enjoy an exclusive preview of the
Tools for the Trades™ Monster Jam Mini Build.
The highlight of the event is the unveiling of a stunning one-third scale monster truck built by talented students from
Bryan High School. This initiative is part of Northern Tool's program designed to inspire the next generation of tradespeople by offering unique experiences and donations of tools and equipment. Attendees will have a chance to see the truck up close before its official reveal on the track during the Monster Jam event in
Austin on
June 7th.
Alongside Castro, Colt Stephens will also be present at the preview. Having mentored the students throughout the building process, both drivers will have the honor of cheering on the budding builders. “I remember my first time on the Monster Jam track; it felt like I was a gladiator,” said Stephens. “I cannot wait for these dedicated students to have their moment in the spotlight, hearing the cheers of thousands.” The anticipation builds, and a promotional video is available to showcase their journey and the project’s success.
“This is an incredible opportunity for our customers in the Buda and Austin areas to meet two legends of Monster Jam, take advantage of great Father's Day deals, and witness the impact of our Tools for the Trades™ program in action,” expressed
Wade Kotula, CEO of Northern Tool + Equipment. As an added bonus, the first 200 attendees will receive a complimentary 5-gallon bucket, which Castro will also sign, making it a memorable keepsake of the day.
