Last weekend, Bill and Matthew took their annual trip to the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas. They have been doing this with my brother-in-law and nephew for the last five years and it has become a tradition they look forward to each year. The trip plays out the same each time. They leave at the crack of dawn on Thursday morning. Sometimes they swim or see a show when they arrive in Vegas on Thursday afternoon. Friday is spent at the Monster Jam all day checking out the track, meeting the drivers, seeing the competing trucks, and watching the qualifying race. Saturday they play at the amusement park in Circus Circus and then head to the big Monster Jam event that evening. Then they head home on Sunday. This year, however, there was a little addition to the trip. While seeing the Safe Auto Minimizer truck, Matthew was asked to interview the driver for The Speed Channel. At first he wasn't really sure what to ask the man, so they told him to ask about his truck. Matthew took the microphone and asked the question. What most people don't know about Matthew is that he LOVES holding a microphone in front a large groups of people. Once he asked the first question, he had no trouble coming up with many more. He was a natural! Notice the camera on the right side on the pictures along with the SPEED microphone. Matthew can't wait until they air the race on TV to see if he made the cut. We'll let you know if Matthew becomes a Speed Channel celebrity...
