We started off the first month of the year running all over the country for Monster Jam shows. We made our way to Des Moines in a record setting blizzard with temps around 17 below zero with wind chills in the minus 40’s. IT WAS TRULY COLD! We are grateful to all the true blue fans that sold out several shows in the Wells Fargo Arena, they were awesome. We cant wait to go back, hopefully when it is a little warmer!
We then headed down to San Antonio, TX for one of our biggest shows ever, and some warmth! The Alamodome was huge and so was the turnout for the recorded TV Monster Jam episode! Anthony had the truck tuned nice and we qualified and raced well, but the real excitement came during freestyle!
Charles was super jacked up with excitement and let it show during freestyle making big hits until a sick sky wheelie destroyed the entire back end! The hit was big, but so was the crowds response, and we were truly appreciative. They went wild after the accident! It should look great on SPEED TV!
Special thanks to Anthony and Bruce for staying up all night saturday to put the dog back in one piece for the sunday afternoon show, we made it! Our team has truly stepped up their game!
We look back at the memories ands eagerly loOk forward to the rest of the season!
THANKS TO ALL OUR OLD, AND NEW FANS!!!!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Imagine how many people dream about just getting to drive a monster truck. Charles Benns will get to drive the Pit Bull in his favorite place to perform, and do it going up against the 8 time, “current” world champion Tom Meents in Maximum Destruction. THIS IS BIG TIME!!!! AT CHARLES’ HOUSE!!!!
We will run the wheels of the truck, then sign our entire paycheck over to Charles’ kids at Carrie Tingley Children’s Hospital. And we will do it competing against one of the greatest driver/ truck combos ever!
Bruce Rienzo will be driving the arena truck in the ever tough field of street warriors, come root for him to defend his title from last year! We want Brucie to win again!!!!
Please come out to support “New Mexico’s Monster Truck”, and the entire Pit Bull Team!!!!

We are headed back to this awesome state of the art arena to see cool fans again! It has been 3 years and wed are pumped to start off our 2010 Monster Jam Season here!
Pit Bull is proud of our best year ever of donations to our beloved Carrie Tingley Children’s Hospital.
We donated our checks from several shows and events, and we held an entire monster truck show to raise money and awareness of these kids. We also made it down to the hospital 4 times this year to visit with these special boys and girls, and even enjoy a great luncheon with the hard working, dedicated staff.
Our plans will include even more in 2010 for the kids! We are participating in the hospital’s “Change Bandit” program, doing more show check donations, more display appearances, running our new ride truck, and yet again hosting the SANDIA SUMMER SMASH in late June. We want a new record this year!
We will work harder than ever in the new year to give as much as we can raise to these amazing kids, and raising awareness and attention to their important needs!
HELP CARRIE TINGLEY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL…. YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!
We were loving life as we returned to Albuquerque for the big Monster Jam at Tingley! Our new sponsor, The Big Rig Connection, painted and repaired our body better than ever! We are grateful for their awesome help! Abe, Ron, and all the guys can take care of any collision repair or paint job with awesome style!
The 2 shows went very well as we competed against world class trucks like Grave Digger and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Charles did well in some weekend’s events taking a couple of second places… There is no doubt that Charles looks up to Pablo Huffaker in his Racesource Chassis Gravedigger for good reason, they are the toughest to beat. We enjoy the privelage of running with him, and we like to watch him too! Pablo is a class act!
To be able to say you took second at anything with these trucks there is a real honor, and we cant wait to see them again! Monster Jam put on another tremendous event right here in our awesome hometown!
WE LOVE OUR BEAUTIFUL HOMETOWN, SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!

Team Pit Bull has added a new truck to the team, a ride truck! It it being completed at the team headquarters in Albuquerque. It should be running this month!
Then new truck is a Ford, but it will be the twin of the race truck and rock the same graphics package!
Now our fans can get the experience of riding in a full size Pit Bull Monster Truck.
Charles plans to use the truck for helping kids more than ever with fundraising events already being planned for the Carrie Tingley Hospital, New Mexico Adoption Exchange, and the Albuquerque Public Schools! Watch team Pit Bull make an even bigger impact on our community!
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING ALL OUR AWESOME FANS COME RIDE WITH US!
We went to one of the best visits we have ever had to the hospital today with the proceeds from the Sandia Summer Smash, TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!
We saw many of our old friends from the hospital and some new ones as well! Team Pit Bull, with the help of some great sponsors & volunteers, was able to bring this huge donation and spend the day with the kids along with 3 awesome trucks! Our entire summer was spent to raise both money… and awareness of the needs of this amazing place! Thank you to the staff of this facility, you guys are heroic and we salute the noble, honorable work you do there!
Team Pit Bull vows to do this again next year! We love these kids and the people that help them!
