Mansfield has been a long time favorite stop of the team and this year would be Allison&#8217;s first time getting to drive in the event, after her father Dan thrilled crowds there over the years. Allison picked up where her dad left off and had a great weekend in Samson along with her fellow drivers of the Monster Truck Throwdown tour. Highlights on the weekend included some big air in &#8220;&#8216;Ol Sammy&#8221; during racing and freestyle, including a couple big sky wheelies during freestyle. Allison also turned in a dizzying set of donuts on Saturday night in freestyle that had the grandstands rocking.<\/p>\n<p>Check out some highlights of Samson and others in Mansfield courtesy of Monster Truck Throwdown:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OkSokQ2LzGk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With Mansfield in the books, the team&#8217;s next stop is in Clarksville, Tennesse in just a few weeks.
