Eric Meyers Takes Home the 2nd Ever National Championship after Three Months of Competition

Aurora, Ill (April 2, 2009) – Eric Meyers, of Fairfield, Calf., was crowed the 2nd ever National Champion Saturday in the Monster® Jam: Urban Assault National Tournament live from Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium at the Monster Jam NGK Spark Plugs World Finals.

Meyers, who qualified for his trip to the Monster Jam: Urban Assault National Tournament semi-finals in Las Vegas after winning the final qualifying round at the Oakland, Calif. Monster Jam, was practically speechless after his win.

“It’s absolutely amazing, it’s the best feeling in the world right now,” said Meyers after he won the final round in front of the sell-out crowd at Sam Boyd Stadium. “It’s a once in a life time opportunity. I just tried to play smooth, and that’s what wins races.”

After being one of the eight fastest regional qualifiers, Meyers was flown to Las Vegas for an all expenses paid trip with the other seven fastest regional qualifiers and the one online wildcard winner. The nine contestants gamed their way through 3 semi-final rounds in the Built Ford Tough Party in the Pits, and the three winners and the fastest of the non-winners played in the final round in front of the sell-out crowd on the jumbotron.
