First 200 attendees will get a 5-gallon Northern Tool Bucket
BUDA, Texas, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Northern Tool + Equipment welcomes Monster Jam®’s El Toro Loco Driver Armando Castro to their Buda, TX store on Thursday, June 5th, to meet with fans and customers and sign autographs from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. At 2:30, both drivers will join fans to cheer on the exclusive preview of Northern Tool + Equipment’s Tools of the Trades™ Monster Jam® Mini Build.
The build is a one-third scale monster truck built by Bryan High School career and technical education students, and it will be on display for customers to see up close. The truck will then be officially revealed on the track on Saturday, June 7th, at the Moody Center in Austin during the Monster Jam event.
Monster Jam’s ThunderROARus Driver Colt Stephens will be at the exclusive preview event, having also helped mentor the students through the build and get them excited for the official reveal in Austin.
“I remember the first time I entered the Monster Jam track — I felt like a gladiator,” said Stephens. “I can’t wait for the students that have worked so hard this whole year to have their own moment stepping out on the track to the sound of thousands of people cheering for them.”
Here’s a quick video trailer highlighting the incredible year-long project.
The build is part of Northern Tool + Equipment’s Tools for the Trades™ program, designed to ignite a passion for trades careers with the next generation through donations of tools, equipment and unique experiences like working with Castro and several other Monster Jam crew members on this project.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our Buda and Austin-area customers to meet two Monster Jam legends, get a deal on Father’s Day shopping and see how our Tools for the Trades™ program is directly impacting their community,” said Wade Kotula, CEO of Northern Tool + Equipment. “This is definitely something you won’t want to miss.”
The first 200 attendees will also get a free 5-gallon bucket that Castro can sign.
