5th Place - Ryan Anderson - 2025 Monster Truck Racing Open Championship

Congratulations to RYAN ANDERSON for his 5^th place finish in the 2025 Monster Truck Racing Open Championship!

Ryan has been the Open Champion three times: 2021, 2022, and 2024. He has finished in the Top Ten every season of the Open Championship and has won at least 10 races in 5 consecutive seasons. This is also the 4^th time in 5 years that Ryan has led the sport in Average points-per-race (261.61).

The season started south of the border for Ryan and had him running on an Arena set-up in both Mexico City and San Juan. The change of track style did not go smoothly for the then-defending Open Champion as he managed only 2 final rounds in 9 events. But once the Stadium Series kicked off in January, Son-Uva Digger was back in peak form. He swept both events in Anaheim and then won 1 of 2 races in Saint Louis and again in Miami, Tampa, Anaheim, Minneapolis, and El Paso! Not to mention winning the one-day races in Glendale and Seattle plus a runner-up in Arlington! Plus two Arena wins in Hampton, Virginia. He scored points (big points) in his final 23 consecutive events.

With a dominating performance like that how come he didn’t win his unprecedented 4^th Open Championship? Because he ran a smaller 31 race schedule compared to the 63 of Saucier, 44 from England, 45 from Menninga, and 78 from Weston. So while Ryan clearly had the best Average Points of anyone, he was only 13^th-most in Total Points.

When it comes to the Stadium Series, no other racer is as dominant as Ryan Anderson. He not only performs well, but he regularly wins on the biggest stages against some of the best competition in the world. He finished the season 10-4 against Tristan England; 10-3 against Bryce Kenny; 6-0 against Jamey Garner; 6-0 against Todd Leduc; 5-0 against Mike Pagliarulo; 3-1 against brother Adam; 4-0 against Zack Garner; 4-0 against Nick Pagliarulo; 2-1 against Colt Stephens; and 2-0 against Kayla Blood, Cynthia Gauthier, Colt Stephens, and Cole Venard! Only 3 drivers did not have a losing record against Ryan this season: sister Krysten was 1-1 on the Arena track, brother Weston beat him 1-0 at the World Finals, and Open Champion Coty Saucier was an impressive 6-0 against Ryan.

You never bet against Ryan Anderson in racing, especially on the Stadium Series. He is too fast and too consistent, as proven once again by the numbers. Congrats to Ryan on another dominating season of racing!
