Brianna Mahan (24) races a Scooby-Doo truck. Mahan joined the Monster Jam Series as a rookie. This event is all about wild designs and driving. For the past 18 years however she has been competing in motocross racing. A history of motocross racing is common in most Monster Jams drivers. Mahan has even made an outstanding comeback.
After a horrible racing collision, caused by another driver who was out of control, she was done racing. Or so she thought. Brianna stopped racing for about 2 whole years. She later realized that she loved racing and the adrenaline rush it gave her too much to give it up. As a result, she started to rehabilitate herself. This is now her first racing season behind the wheel of a monster truck which is what earned her the award of Rookie of the Year.
Although she has been behind the wheel of many different types of vehicles, Brianna still wants to keep going. By the age of 2 she was driving four-wheelers, snow mobiles and dirt bikes. Even though Mahan knows that monster truck racing is a male dominated sport she plans to continue to race. Mahan plans to break that stereotype.
