Fifty thousand people pack into the Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas to catch one of the most supercharged motorsports entertainment event of the year - Monster Jam. A fleet of 16 monster trucks, each weighing 4.5 tons rumble, roar, and race their way through a precision-designed racetrack and tire-shredding obstacle course. While this may seem like pure mayhem, the amount of coordination and attention to detail required to pull off a Monster Jam show is staggering. We follow Track Construction Manager Mike Csizmar and his Dirt Crew as they work against the clock to turn the football field into a Monster Jam track. The stadium's artificial turf is worth one million dollars, so Mike and his team must protect it with 900 large polyurethane sheets. They bring in 260 dump trucks full of dirt along with 30 cars and vans and one school bus to build a track full of high-flying jumps that will give the Monster Jam fans a thrilling show.
