Birthday
July 1
Tyler Menninga has loved motorsports all of his life. When he had an opportunity to drive a ride truck for Adam Anderson, he took the chance and that launched a successful Monster Jam career. He started competing in Monster Jam in 2016 with Blue Thunder before joining Team Grave Digger. He began winning arena tour championships the following year and continued on to stadium racing. Menninga often makes the highlight reels at the end of the weekend and is renowned for his incredible nose wheelies and other cool tricks that he often has hidden up his sleeve! Menninga won the 2-Wheel Skills Championship at Monster Jam World Finals in 2023, and then swept all three competitions at the Monster Jam Superstar Challenge!
