JW Martin

It was a colossal Birthday party.

For the second consecutive season, monsters overtook the .416-mile oval Saturday night as the headlining act of Motor Mile Speedway's 4th of July celebration.

Five prominent monster trucks played host to a sold out crowd, along with a supporting cast that included jet-powered showpieces and a fireworks finale. Below is a snapshot of Saturday's extravaganza.
