As Monster Jam truck driver Bari Musawwir’s name was announced, a different type of energy filled Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, earlier this month at the Monster Jam World Finals.

Cheers flooded the stadium. Adults and children stood with outstretched arms for the signature Zombie Arm Wave, alternating up and down to mimic a revived corpse, the latest design of Musawwir’s truck.

Musawwir was returning to Orlando after a three-week tour of South Africa with Monster Jam, during which he won his first competition in Durban. Winning either the racing or freestyle competition in front of his family would be the perfect end to a great season.
