“Motorsports are unpredictable. The truck involved was running industry-standard wheel restraints. Fact is, there is no piece of metal in existence that will always stand up to the forces involved in monster truck competition. We were quickly in contact with both the Kitsap County Fair Board & a fencing company to collaborate on a plan of action to help reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future,” the statement read.
“Accidents happen, even unprecedented incidents such as this & we will always do everything we can to help further the safety of this great sport we all love.”
