The Carroll County Agriculture Center in Westminster, Maryland hosted a full day of outdoor motorsports as Monster Truck Roundup brought two complete shows to the arena. Engines fired, dirt flew, and the crowd responded with the kind of energy that defines summer monster truck events in Maryland. Both shows featured a complete lineup of trucks, quad racing, and driver interaction that kept spectators engaged from introductions through the final closing segment. The program was hosted by Rockin’ Rob Cherkas, Blake Granger, and Street Bike Tommy, who guided the crowd through each portion of the event with consistent energy and clear direction.
Conditions Built for Outdoor Action
Warm mid‑July weather created ideal conditions for an outdoor motorsports program. The dry surface allowed the trucks to dig into the track and produce consistent traction for racing and freestyle. The tight arena layout at the AG Center placed fans close to the action and amplified the sound of each launch, landing, and throttle hit throughout the day.
Full Monster Truck Lineup
The Westminster program featured a five‑truck roster. Each truck participated in introductions, competition segments, grudge racing, and freestyle.
- Muddy Girl
- Backdraft
- Shockwave

MD Quads vs PA Quads
MD Quads and PA Quads provided competitive racing between monster truck segments. Their Maryland versus Pennsylvania matchup carried through multiple heats and delivered tight cornering, aggressive passes, and strong momentum during each race. Both teams contributed to the overall intensity of the program and kept spectators invested throughout the day.
Strongman Exhibition Featuring Nicolai Myers
A standout moment of the day came from Nicolai Myers, an elite U90kg strongman athlete with international credentials. Myers performed a strength exhibition that included pulling a monster truck across the track, demonstrating the same power he brings to world‑level competition. His background includes a world title, national championships, and extreme training lifts, and his appearance added a unique strength‑sport element to the motorsports program. The crowd responded strongly to the display, which provided a distinct highlight between racing segments.
Monster Truck Roundup Ride Truck
The Monster Truck Roundup Ride Truck operated before and after both shows, giving fans the opportunity to climb aboard and experience a ride in a real monster truck. This attraction added an interactive component to the event and provided families with a hands‑on way to connect with the sport beyond the competition segments.
Intermission Segments and Engagement
The event included several mid‑show segments such as T‑shirt tosses, quad interviews, and additional entertainment. These elements maintained audience involvement between racing rounds and provided families with added activity beyond the main motorsports program.
Freestyle Closes Out Both Shows
Freestyle served as the final competitive segment for each show. Drivers attacked the course with wheelies, cross‑track sprints, and high‑energy ramp hits. The dry surface allowed for consistent speed and traction, producing dirt clouds and strong crowd reactions as each truck attempted to deliver the most memorable run of the day.
Driver Accessibility and Autographs
Following the final closing segment, all drivers and quad racers returned to the track for an autograph session. Fans lined up with hero cards, shirts, and newly purchased merchandise. The accessibility of the drivers remains a defining feature of independent monster truck promotions and contributes to the family‑friendly environment Monster Truck Roundup is known for.

With a full truck lineup, MD versus PA quad racing, a featured strongman exhibition by Nicolai Myers, the Monster Truck Roundup Ride Truck, and consistent fan engagement, the Carroll County Agriculture Center once again proved to be a reliable venue for summer monster truck entertainment.
