February 28th, 2009 - The 2010 O'Reilly Outlaw Nationals tour continued these past two weeks as Kaboom Motorsports returned for our annual stops in Odessa and Waco, Texas. This year these two shows would see the toughest lineup in years as Devin and Barbarian would continue going head to head with Bill Payne in Rock Star and Donald Epidendio in California Kid, as well as being challenged by the Crashmasters team and lead driver Jerry Perry with Brute Force .The action got started with a Friday and Saturday night event at the Ector County Coliseum in Odessa. The weekend would be a great one for Devin as after some hard fought competition, Barbarian would move on to Waco having swept racing and taken the Friday night freestyle win.

This past weekend in Waco, Devin would continue running strong winning both wheelies and racing on Friday night. Despite a great freestyle that saw Devin put Barbarian on its lid, Rock Star would get the nod in freestyle. Jerry Perry in Brute Force managed to break up Devin's near sweep of racing on the MAP Motorsports tour this year as he picked up the final round win. Devin came back strong in freestyle, charging to a big win over Rock Star and Brute Force.

A big thanks to John Darnell and MAP Motorsports for once again inviting Kaboom Motor-sports to be a part of the winter O'Reilly Outlaw Nationals tour. This was Devin and Barbarian's most successful MAP tour ever as he went 5-6 in racing and 4-6 in freestyle against some tough competition. Our next event for John will be in our hometown of Miami, Oklahoma early this summer, which is always a great time. Next up on the Schedule, we return to the Checkered Flag Productions tour for the next four weeks as Devin will look to continue improving on his 4th place position in points.

February 15th, 2009 - For the first time this year, Devin Jones and Barbarian were invited to compete for the Checkered Flag Productions Monster Truck Winter Nationals series championship and that quest began in Belton, Texas. The first weekend on the CFP tour would only prove to reinforce how tough this championship chase will be as Devin battled it out with defending champ Larry Swim in Bigfoot Bad Boy and Bill Payne in Rock Star. Friday night would bring a third place in the wheelie contest and a runner-up in freestyle, while Saturday's highlight would be a semi-finals appearance in racing.

The following weekend in Sioux Falls would see much improved performance from the team as Devin began to move up in the points. Friday night brought a wheelie contest trophy and runner-ups in both racing and freestyle. Saturday however, would see Barbarian finding victory lane in a big win, winning both racing and freestyle for a huge 225 point night!

With both Bigfoot Bad Boy and Rock Star to contend with in Grand Island, Nebraska, Devin showed why Barbarian will be a contender when the championship event in Pocatello, Idaho rolls around. Devin picked up both wheelie and freestyle wins Friday night along with continued strong performances throughout the weekend.

This past weekend in Grand Forks, North Dakota would see another chance at a huge floor in 2010 for Barbarian. The Alerus Center packed the fans in and they saw a great show as Devin and Larry Swim in Bigfoot battled it out. Devin would edge out Larry in wheelies, while Larry would just beat Devin in the finals of racing. Freestyle would see a great performance from Devin as he caught some huge air. Swim couldn't equal Barbarian and Devin picked up the big freestyle win to move all the way up to 4th in the national championship battle.

Now for the next two weekends, Kaboom Motorsports will return to the O'Reilly Outlaw Nationals tour with our annual stops in Odessa and Waco, Texas. It's gonna be a great time, we'll see you in Texas!

January 21st, 2010 - The Kaboom Motorsports team began 2010 on fire. The Barbarian made its first appearance of the year in Austin, Texas on January 8th and 9th in the Travis County Expo Center. Sporting a new vinyl wrap, Devin proved that the new look for the truck was still backed by the same tenacious attitude as he swept all racing and freestyle competitions for the weekend. With only minor damage for the weekend, the Barbarian was ready for its next battle.

The following weekend, Devin continued his momentum to arguably the biggest event in the team’s history: Monster Jam in San Antonio’s Alamo Dome. In front of 64,000 fans and the SPEED TV cameras, Devin and Barbarian displayed why he deserved a spot at a premiere stadium show among names such as Grave Digger and Maximum Destruction. Showcasing the truck’s infamous tail-dragging wheelies, Barbarian stood at the end of the night amid the sport’s elite, finishing in fifth place out of 16 competitors. In the process, the Barbarian truck would suffer extensive front axle damage. In an effort that required an all night repair, Devin pieced the truck together to make another stellar showing for the Sunday afternoon show. When the dust settled, Barbarian again proved its worth and finished in the top half of the freestyle competition.
 

This week, the team has returned home to repair the battle-scarred Barbarian in preparation for the 2010 Points Championship with Checkered Flag Productions. The points chase begins for Kaboom Motorsports this weekend in Belton, Texas at the Bell County Expo Center. The Barbarian will do battle with current point’s leader Rockstar and the legendary Bigfoot Team in wheelie, racing, and freestyle competitions. Kaboom Motorsports would like to thank John Darnell with the MAP Motorsports and Feld Entertainment for allowing the Barbarian to be part of their shows.
 

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!!

November 9th, 2008 - The first of our 2009 dates are now available on our Schedule page! We'll be running with some great folks once again this coming year including making our first appearances for Monster Jam with the Alter Ego body. Lots of exciting things happening here at Kaboom Motorsports, stay tuned!

September 11th, 2008 - This past weekend Kaboom Motorsports unveiled the brand new Alter Ego body at the Monster Truck Racing Super Series event at Parsons Stadium in Springdale, AR!!  The new name sits on a Ford Superduty regular cab body featuring an awesome "fire and ice" styled vinyl wrap. The idea for the name Alter Ego came from family and friends of team owner Devin Jones, who say that his hard-charging driving style is the alter ego to his more reserved personality. Devin was definitely on kill in Alter Ego's debut in Springdale, taking the freestyle win Friday night with a high-energy run featuring huge slap wheelies. Saturday would see more success for Alter Ego, as Devin started the night by taking the wheelie contest victory. Devin was on his racing game as well, going to the finals in both racing competitions against tough competition. In freestyle, Devin tried out a new move to go with the new name, pulling off two nice reversers to complement big air and lots of momentum in another strong run. The next stop for the new Alter Ego will be at the Monster Truck Racing Super Series event in Ft. Smith, AR later this month. Watch for video footage from Alter Ego's debut, coming soon!

September 4th, 2008 - It's been a while since our last update, but the Kaboom Motorsports team has been rocking venues across the country over the last couple of months, including strong runs in several high profile events!!  This past weekend saw Barbarian competing against six other top trucks in the Checkered Flag Productions Monster Truck Summer Slam at Northern Arkansas' Batesville Speedway. The first night of competition saw a solid performance from Devin Jones in an abbreviated freestyle, cut short by a broken belt. Night two would start with a good qualifying pass, but Devin's racing would be ended with a first round exit. Devin was determined to finish out the weekend strong, and was putting together a great freestyle run with two huge slap wheelies and big air over the bus when trouble struck. After coming over the bus carrying a lot of speed, Devin got caught in the mud and made contact with one of the track's light poles. The contact knocked lights out for half the infield. The crowd went nuts, and both CFP and track officials noted there was no way to avoid the incident given the track conditions. It could be said that Devin's Saturday night freestyle was "lights out"!  TheMonsterBlog.com's TMB TV was on hand for the Batesville event, so check out their episode to see all the action and an interview with Devin Jones where plans for a new identity for Kaboom Motorsports are revealed.

The previous weekend saw Barbarian invited back for another appearance at the annual I-70 Speedway Monstergeddon event. Devin went out first for freestyle and, after exiting in the first round of racing, was determined to put on a show. There wasn't much to work with in freestyle, so Devin kept up lots of momentum and finished with a wild cyclone in the best run of the evening.

August 16th saw Barbarian competing in East Alabama Motor Speedway's monster truck event in Phenix City, AL. Devin drove the truck into the ground on the way to yet another freestyle win in 2008.  The previous week the MEGA Monster Truck Tour was in Barbarian's home state, putting on an event at Woodward, OK's Crystal Beach Stadium. Devin made it to the semi-finals in racing, coming up just short against Larry Quick's Ghost Ryder. Those two would battle it out for the freestyle win, but in the end the Oklahoma fans were solidly behind Barbarian, putting another freestyle victory on the board for Devin Jones.

The first weekend of August would see Barbarian back on the Monster Truck Challenge series tour at Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, OH. Devin would be part of a stellar 10 truck field, and held his own against some of the sport's best. For racing, Devin would have the misfortune of going up against Bounty Hunter in the first round, as Jimmy Creten had been dominating the MTC tour this year. Creten would be too much for Devin and the rest of the field, as he went on to the overall win. Freestyle would see Devin going big in jump after jump before a near rollover left Barbarian with a flat tire and several broken parts. There was no doubt the fans enjoyed Devin and Barbarian's freestyle.

The week previous Devin had the honor of participating in the huge Monster Truck Challenge Hall of Fame race at Gateway International Raceway in St. Louis. Devin would put forth a strong performance in racing, making it all the way to the semi-finals before battery issues would keep him from making the call. With the issues resolved for freestyle, Devin charged to the track and immediately began catching huge air over the big obstacles and pulled off a couple of nice slap wheelies to the delight of the 20,000+ fans.

In the first three weeks of July, the Kaboom Motorsports team stayed busy with stops in Grain Valley, MO, Amite, LA, and a July 4th event in Rushville, IL. Rushville saw Barbarian take home the wheelie contest win, runner-up in racing, and the freestyle victory. Amite would result in Devin taking two out of three freestyle wins against some tough competition from the Sudden Impact team. In Grain Valley, Barbarian would face tough competition from the 2Xtreme and Big Dawg 4x4 teams, but would turn in solid efforts in both racing and freestyle.

The previous week takes us back to just after our last update, where the Kaboom Motorsports team was preparing to take part in the Monster Truck Challenge season opener in Shakopee, MN. Devin Jones stole the spotlight Friday night, getting an early draw in freestyle and putting on what many say was the run of the night. Huge air over the bus stack, smashing through the RV camper, wheelies, and wild cyclones set the bar very high for the competition. In the end however, Jimmy Creten would get a score of 30 from the judges after a great run in Bounty Hunter. The second night, Devin was back at it, putting on another great freestyle run that ended with many broken parts on the Barbarian machine. Devin definitely served notice to the big names that Barbarian would be a truck to watch out for on the MTC tour this season.

That catches you up on all that the Kaboom Motorsports team was up to this summer. This coming weekend's Monster Truck Racing Super Series event in Springdale, AR will see an exciting new development from the team, so stay tuned for more information!  Check out the Media page for a huge update, with six new photo galleries and lots of new footage in a cool new video player. Keep checking back to stay up to date with all the goings-on from Devin Jones and the Kaboom Motorsports team!!

June 16th, 2008 - The month of May saw the return of Devin Jones and Barbarian to competition!!  After some time off following motor problems earlier this season, Devin returned to action the first weekend of May in Ft. Smith, AR for the Monster Truck Racing Super Series. From there, it was time for the annual hometown show at the Miami, OK Fairgrounds. The O'Reilly Outlaw Nationals was the biggest it's ever been this year in Miami, with Devin having to take on the likes of Bounty Hunter, Tail Gator and 5 other top trucks. Barbarian made a good showing Friday night, nearly taking the racing win before falling to Doug Noelke and Tail Gator in the finals. Saturday night would be a bit of a disappointment however, as after a good showing in the racing and wheelie contests, a broken tie rod would end Devin's freestyle early. After a week off, it was down to Lufkin, TX for Monster Motor Jam at the George Henderson Expo Center. There Devin put on a couple of strong freestyle runs before being bit by another broken tie rod after Saturday night's run. June started off with Barbarian back in Springdale, AR for more Monster Truck Racing Super Series action where Devin put on a couple more good freestyle runs.

The summer schedule is getting ready to heat up in a big way for the Kaboom Motorsports team, starting this weekend in Minneapolis, MN as Devin and Barbarian participate in the Monster Truck Challenge season opener at Raceway Park Shakopee. Watch for results from that event, along with new crew shirts and new t-shirts coming soon!!  Check out our Schedule page to see where we're headed next, and stop by the Media page for photos & video from the Miami and Lufkin shows!!

April 15th, 2008 - Barbarian will be back on the road soon!!  Devin has been working on the truck and with a new motor finally ready to go, the Kaboom Motorsports team will be back in action at the beginning of May in Ft. Smith, AR. The next weekend is the hometown show in Miami, OK where Devin will face off against heavy hitters like Bounty Hunter, Iron Outlaw, Tail Gator and War Wagon.  The summer schedule is starting to take shape as well, with Devin currently on the schedule for four high profile Monster Truck Challenge events, as well as returning to Amite, LA for SMTS. Check out the Schedule page for more dates. During the layoff, Devin had the opportunity to drive the Deal Breaker monster truck for good friend Bill Payne in Lebanon, MO at the end of March.  Devin managed to pull off a few wins over the course of the weekend, be sure to check out the Media page for photos and video from that event. Stay tuned for more updates as Barbarian returns to competion beginning in May!!

March 20th, 2008 - After finally working out all of the motor problems that plagued the start of 2008, Barbarian was back on the road for a tour of Texas and running strong.  The first stop was Belton, TX for Checkered Flag Productions.  Devin got a bad draw in racing, having to face Bigfoot in the first round each night, but in freestyle Saturday night he scored a perfect 30 after a strong run that included a huge slap wheelie and rollover.  With minimal damage, the truck was back together for the next stop in Austin for MAP Motorsports.  Another good weekend saw Devin make one final round appearance in racing and take another freestyle victory.  After a week off, it was back to Odessa for MAP where Devin went head-to-head with Rob French and Twisted Dragon all weekend.  French got the better of Devin in the finals of racing each night, but Devin had the last laugh taking both freestyle wins.  From there it was on to Waco, where Barbarian would be going up against Doug Noelke in Tail Gator and Andy Hoffman in War Wagon among others.  Devin grabbed his first racing win of the season in the Friday night show, taking the final round victory over rookie John White in the sharp new Brute Force truck.  Doug Noelke was too much in racing Saturday night, beating Devin in the finals, but Devin closed the weeked on a high note with a great freestyle run and another win.  Bad luck would strike again however, as the Friday night event in Beaumont for Rich Schaefer saw a return of engine troubles.  After a first round loss to Bigfoot,  Devin was putting together a good freestyle when another motor let go.

Now, the Kaboom Motorsports team is on the sidelines again, working on getting another motor ready for the summer. Devin will be driving Deal Breaker for good friend Bill Payne again this weekend in Lebanon, MO and will return to action in Barbarian at the beginning of May in Ft. Smith, AR.  Be watching for updates from the Lebanon show after this weekend, and thanks to all of our fans for your support.  Check out the Schedule page to see what we have booked for the summer, and see the Media page for some video clips from our Texas tour.  Thanks for reading!!

January 22nd, 2008 - The year has gotten off to a strange start for Devin Jones and the Kaboom Motorsports team. Engine problems have plagued the Barbarian truck since our last update after the Pensacola show. Devin has gone through two motors, one during the first night of the Topeka, KS CFP event, and another in the shop without even putting the truck into gear!  In the meantime, dates in Charlotte and Trenton were cancelled while Devin worked to get the truck back in top running condition. This past weekend, Devin filled in behind the wheel of good friend Bill Payne's brand new Deal Breaker monster truck at the MEGA Monster Truck Tour event in Cape Girardeau, MO. Bill was working on the new shock combination and asked Devin to drive for the weekend to help get everything set correctly. Check out the Media page for photos and video of Devin in action behind the wheel of Deal Breaker. This weekend, Barbarian is finally back on the road for six weeks straight, all in the state of Texas!!  Check out our Schedule page to find out where you can see Barbarian this year, and let's finally get this year on the right track!!

November 24th, 2007 - The Southern Monster Truck Showdown in Pensacola, FL turned out to be a fun, but costly weekend for the Kaboom Motorsports team. Devin ran Barbarian hard all weekend, putting on a some great performances in the wheelie and freestyle contests, and taking runner-up to Scott Hartsock in racing Friday night. But the motor let go for good during the weekend putting an end to the fun. Regardless, Devin describes any event with the SMTS crew as more than just a show, but a family, and one he is glad to be a part of.  Unfortunately the motor issues and slow delivery of parts have forced the team to back out of the previously scheduled Detroit, MI show at The Palace. However, one final date has been picked up for the last weekend of 2007 for CFP in Topeka, KS. See the Schedule page for that and the first of our 2008 dates as well. A big thanks to David Kranak for sending in photos from Pensacola, check those out in the Media section!

November 4th, 2007 - The year is winding to a close, but Devin Jones and Barbarian were running strong in Nashville, TN last weekend as the Major League of Monster Trucks rolled into Nashville Superspeedway. The event started off on a bit of a sour note for the Kaboom Motorsports team as the truck wasn't quite running at full song and Devin just missed making the sixteen truck racing field. But Barbarian would be second out in freestyle and put on a great show for the Nashville fans!  Devin's freestyle run featured a great save, and despite blowing the left rear tire, Devin continued on and kept up the big moves in Barbarian. Check out photos and video from the event in our Media section!  There is only one event left this season, as Barbarian will be featured at the Extreme Monster Truck Nationals at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit next month. Keep checking back as we will be releasing our 2007 schedule of events soon!

September 27th, 2007 - Devin Jones competed in his first event for the Major League of Monster Trucks in Las Vegas this past weekend, taking on 11 top trucks in racing and freestyle competitions. The night didn't start off that great for Barbarian as Devin was eliminated in the first round of racing after spinning out. The event ended on a high note as Devin put on a great freestyle for the packed crowd at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, tieing for third place overall!!  See below for a video clip from YouTube.com of Devin's freestyle. Devin returns to MLMT competition in Nashville, TN October 27th.

August 26th, 2007 - Devin Jones and the Barbarian monster truck were in action at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO last night, performing at the 3rd annual Carmegeddon Eve of Destruction. Devin made it to the finals in racing against Dan Patrick in Samson, but spun out giving away the win. Freestyle would make up for the loss in racing as Devin went big, grabbing huge air off the jumps and getting a couple of tailgate dragging wheelies to win the competition over Kirk Dabney in Monster Patrol. A huge thanks to the I-70 Speedway crew for inviting us out for the weekend and for putting on a great event.

July 27th, 2007 - Last weekend Barbarian rocked the Texas Heatwave in Austin, TX!!  The custom car and truck show featured monster truck freestyle Saturday & Sunday and Devin put on a show!!  Big jumps over the long set of cars, with several great saves to keep the truck from rolling, and it was another solid weekend for Barbarian.  A big thanks to Bryan Wagner for photos from the show which are now posted in the Media section.  Also posted are photos from Amite, LA by David Kranak, and video clips from both Austin and Amite. Head over to the Media page to see what we've been up to!!

July 17th, 2007 - Devin and Barbarian participated in their first Southern Monster Truck Showdown event this past weekend in Amita, LA at the Florida Parishes Arena. Friday night would see Devin make it to the finals in racing only to fall to Bruce Haney in Bad News. Devin put on a nice freestyle but Bruce got the nod there as well. Saturday would be a different story however, as Devin took down some tough competition in the wheelie competition and picked up the freestyle victory as well!  Sunday would see Devin nearly grab a sweep of the show, starting out by winning the wheelie contest, narrowly losing to Gun Slinger in the racing finals and then putting forth an amazing freestyle to end the weekend on a winning note.

Thanks to the SMTS folks for a great weekend, we had a ton of fun. Also thanks to David Kranak for the photos from the show. Next weekend Devin and Barbarian will be at the Texas Heatwave show in Austin putting on some freestyles at the Travis County Expo Center.  We'll see you there!

July 16th, 2007 - The new Barbarian T-shirt design has been completed!!  The 295 Guys T-shirt folks did an awesome job on the new shirt design.  We'll have them in shortly, and ordering information will be added to the website when they arrive.  Stay tuned!!
