Monster Truck Fans get Close Up View of Bigfoot

The world-famous monster truck Bigfoot made an appearance at the Star Nursery on Ann Road Monday afternoon. Fans of the truck were able to get close to it and meet the driver.

"Bigfoot was actually the first monster truck. It started 37 years ago. We could not do it without the fans. It is because of the fans that we are still around. We have the greatest fans in the world," Bigfoot driver Larry Swim said.

Bigfoot will be crushing cars Tuesday night at the Bullrings’ Night of Fire at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The monster truck will be part of a whole night full of extreme cars and trucks.

The event will include a 76-lap NASCAR Super Late Model feature, a jet car burn, waterless boat races, a car-drifting exhibition and more. Gates open at 5 p.m. Racing starts at 6 p.m. Fireworks will be at 10:20 p.m.
