Are you searching for the ultimate “monster truck near me” experience in the Chicago area? Look no further! The ground is about to shake, and the engines are about to roar as Monster Truck Mayhem takes over the Dirt Oval 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois, this Saturday, June 20th!

If you are tired of monster trucks at small, indoor, arenas with barely anything for the trucks to crush,  it is time to witness the difference of a true monsterous event. At the Dirt Oval, we provide the wide-open space these 1,500-horsepower beasts need to fly further, jump higher, and perform the heart-stopping stunts that indoor venues and small tracks like Grundy and LaSalle simply cannot accommodate.

The Biggest Lineup in Illinois

Monster Truck Mayhem is proudly recognized as the largest outdoor monster truck event in Illinois. For 2026, we are bringing another stacked lineup of eight monster trucks. You will see fan favorites returning to the dirt, including the legendary Avenger, the fiery Axe, the 3D-body TailGator, and the soaring original monster dump truck Dirt Crew.

Some new faces to the Dirt Oval 66 include female superstar Athena Kozel driving Lil’ Miss Madness; the C10 Chevy known as High Tide; kid-favorite Block Head; and Twisted Addiction. Whether they are racing side-by-side on a Figure-8 course or pushing the limits in the high-flying freestyle competition, these drivers are ready to put on a show you won’t soon forget.

More Than Just Racing

The excitement begins long before the main event. Your ticket includes access to our FREE Pre-Race Party from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This is your chance to get up close to the trucks, meet the drivers for autographs, explore our “Touch-a-Truck” display, and enjoy entertainment for the whole family.

Beyond the monster trucks, we are packing the night with high-energy Freestyle Motocross riders performing daring backflips and tricks. Plus, stick around until the very end for a spectacular fireworks finale that will light up the Joliet night sky.
