6th Annual PEI / Samson Open House a Great Success

The 6th Annual PEI/Samson Open House was held on October 10th and we had a great turn out of fans and industry personnel to join us for a fun afternoon. Once a year we open our doors to the public for them to take a look inside what happens in our day to day operations as well as get up close and personal with some of the awesome machines we’ve helped create. This year we were lucky enough to have Matt Pagliarulo’s Jester, Bobby Holman’s Beast and Chalkboard Truck, and Rick Disharoon’s Saigon Shaker mega truck on display for fans to see with Samson. They were also able to get a ride on the Virginia Giant ride truck and meet with many awesome monster truck drivers. We were also joined by members of Team Scream Racing including Jim Koehler (Avenger), Brad Allen (Brutus), and Cory Rummell (Spike/Avenger). Rich Blackburne of the Monster Medic Monster Truck also made a visit for the Open House. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event a great success and we’ll be looking forward to hosting everyone next year!

Rick Steffens to Join Father/Daughter Driving Duo | Piloting Samson This Weekend!

The Samson Monster Truck Racing team is proud to announce that crew chief and PEI team member Rick Steffens will be joining the Father/Daughter driving duo of Allison and Dan Patrick as a driver of Samson. Steffens is set to pilot Samson this coming weekend in our first racing event of 2015 at Kil-Kare Speedway in Xenia, Ohio. We’re excited to have Steffens behind the wheel and see what he brings to the table as a driver. As a lifelong monster truck fan Steffens regularly volunteered at events to help out monster truck teams in his youth, eventually becoming a crew chief for some of the top trucks and drivers in the industry,  and then became a member of the Samson/PEI team in 2014.With plenty of hands on experience of his own as well as the wealth of knowledge from Dan and Allison, we’re confident Steffens will do a fine job behind the wheel and do Samson fans proud.

Be sure to check out our schedule page to see where you can find Samson this summer. Also don’t forget to like us on Facebook for more info on all things Samson and PEI. Also check out some photos of Steffens in action during the 2015 season by heading over to our photo gallery here.

Samson Featured in Goodyear Commercial with NASCAR’s Kevin Harvick

If you watched last year’s Daytona 500 or the 2014 NASCAR season you may have gotten a glimpse of a familiar, muscular, blue Chevrolet monster truck we all know so well. The Samson Monster Truck team was lucky enough to be invited down to Kanapolis, North Carolina last year to be a part of a unique commercial for Goodyear, which featured NASCAR star and now Sprint Cup Champion Kevin Harvick. Who knows, maybe Ol Sammy sent Harvick some good luck on his way to the championship title? If you haven’t seen the commercial before than check it out below.

2014 PEI / Samson Open House Featured on TMBTV’s Action Tracks

The 2014 PEI / Samson Open House was recently featured on an episode of TMBTV’s Action Tracks by Chris Parrish. The segment takes you inside our Circleville, Ohio headquarters for a look at what happened at this year’s Open House, along with some behind the scenes on the setup of the event. This year’s Open House had a great turn out with plenty of our friends from the Monster Truck industry, as well as a number of classic muscle cars and antique pullers. Our friends at Hall Brothers Racing brought the Raminator ride truck which was a huge hit with kids and adults alike, as the proceeds from the rides were donated to local children’s communities. The segment also features interviews with Bobby Holman (Beast), Cody Holman (Son Of Beast), and of course Dan Patrick. Check out the segment below courtesy of TheMonsterBlog.com! Read more →

We plan to have these available at our upcoming PEI / Samson Open House on October 4th for those that are interesting in purchasing a copy.samson-monster-mega-trucks-1

Even nicer, was getting a chance to compete with Samson close to home in Mansfield, Ohio for Allison Patrick and company. Read more →
