SORRY - this originally posted on May 12, 2011 - and the contest is now closed. I did want to highlight the DISCOUNT you can still get on tickets to attend the event!

Thanks -

I really wish I could do that announcer guys' voice. . .being the mom of two boys - we get lots of "boy stuff" around here - and one of our favorite toys lately has been Hot Wheels Monster Trucks.  Imagine the face of my 4 YO when he seems them FOR REAL - at The Linc??!

That's right - Advance Auto Parts is bringing Monster Jam to The Linc on June 4th.

At Monster Jam, monster trucks face off in two different forms of competition -- side-by-side racing and freestyle:

• Side-by-side racing – traditional bracket racing, where the first truck, with the least amount of penalties, crosses the finish line is declared the winner. 

• Freestyle competition – allows drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their skills. In this category, the fans serve as the judges.

A really cool local connection here is that for the first time in Philly , the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam® will sponsor a unique art project in which a group of talented Philly art students from the Hussian School of Art will use an uncrushed, crush car as their canvas for painting a montage of Philadelphia area iconic scenes. 

You can check out all the details and action on the web, Facebook and Twitter. I hope you'll stop by and like them and follow them.  Their website even has a cool Kids Zone with wallpapers and coloring pages.
