Thunder Nationals
Thunder Nationals was the name of a monster truck series. The series primarily consisted of monster truck racing and freestyle in indoor arenas. The series was originally independent but was taken over by the United States Hot Rod Association, the operators of the Monster Jam tour, in the mid-1990s. The name was last used in 2013, replaced by an arena tour under the Monster Jam name.
Traditionally, the series featured a core group of independent trucks, such as Virginia Giant, Black Stallion, and Eradicator. However, changes to make the events more like the flagship Monster Jam series included the introduction of Monster Jam regulars such as Grave Digger and Maximum Destruction to Thunder Nationals events.
