BILL PAYNE

Hometown:  Bremerton, WA

Birthdate:  December 6th, 1981

Favorite Food:  I just love food, I love to eat.

Favorite Music:  I have to have it. I'll listen to anything, just as long as there's noise. When I can hear myself think, things get scary!

Favorite TV Show:  I'm like a little kid, if I start watching TV, I get zoned out, so I try not to ever watch.

Favorite Competitor to Race:  Any competition. I get race fever--I love running with the bigger name guys but it's the small guy that will shock you. Honestly, I look up to Max D. I have never gotten to run with him but I love watching him.
Why Are You a Monster Truck Driver?:
 I drive because I love it. I wouldn't trade it for love or money. There's something about when you strap in and start hearing the crowd cheering and screaming over the sound of the truck, it gives you goosebumps and butterflies. It doesn't mater how many times I do this, its still special. There's just something about the look on kid's faces when you let them sit in the truck. I have definitely sold myself to the fans. I love it. I have the job that millions of people dream of having. What's not to love?

BJ JOHNSON

Hometown:  Chowchilla, CA

Birthdate:  January 8, 1976

Favorite Food:  Mexican

Favorite Music:  Heavy Metal

Favorite TV Show:  I don't watch much TV being a tattoo artist - no time for it.

Favorite Competitor to Race:  Bill Payne of course because he runs all out all of the time like me and I love beating the boss.

Why Are You a Monster Truck Driver?:  I raced motorcross until I was 18 and then started racing turf trucks for four years. I started driving with Kreg Christienson where we built the Dragon Slayer trucks and then Captain Insano was built for me. Five years later I went to work for Bearfoot for four years then off to drive for everyone. I started a family and needed a break, but now I'm back and it's time for people to see a team that drives for the fans. I put on my helmet and shut down my brain. I don't care if there is 30 people or 30,000 people in the stands, they get the same show. All or nothing.

Coming Soon!
