MONSTER JAM® DRIVERS

When I first started driving Monster Energy®, I had a mechanic from UNOH. Halfway through the season, we ended up throwing him into the crew chief position and he did a great job. We ended up winning the championship! As a driver, my number one priority is my safety. Number two is your crew chief. Having my crew chief come from UNOH made a huge difference. As a driver, that’s where you get all your confidence. When you have a great running machine, thanks to the work of your technicians, you can drive it like it’s number one.”

The students that study highperformance motorsports at UNOH are above all. I can promise you that. There is no other school like UNOH. I’ve always loved horsepower, crazy racing. And UNOH embraces every area of that. For a driver, there is only one thing that’s almost as important as a good truck. That’s a good technician. Knowing the extensive training and all the hard work that goes into each and every student at UNOH, it’s the only place in the world that I know I could go to and get a good technician for Monster Jam®.”

My crew chief is a UNOH graduate and he’s doing a great job. Our trucks are so technically-advanced these days, and we need technicians that are capable and knowledgeable. After learning about the rigorous training at UNOH, the students that come out of that program are so polished. They’re so good at what they do. They have a great work ethic, and we appreciate them being involved with Monster Jam®. Without a doubt, this training that these students receive at UNOH will definitely help them become top-notch technicians.”

Founded in 1920, the University of Northwestern Ohio has grown from a small secretarial school with dozens of students in downtown Lima, to a 200-acre campus, educating nearly 4,000 students annually majoring in anything from Business Administration and Marketing to High Performance Motorsports and Diesel Technology. UNOH graduates have moved on to own their own companies, work in the upper echelons of the racing industry, and proven year after year that what they learn at UNOH is put to use every day in their career. The University of Northwestern Ohio’s history is a living archive – we continue to grow, plan, and progress to meet the needs of our students, our community, and the industries that we serve, and we hope you will become a part of the Northwestern family too!
