Thanks for the memories Tom! You had an unbelievable career with 14 world championships and an incredible legacy! You are the definition of Maximum Destruction!
Insanely sad I never got the opportunity to see this man live. Same with Dennis... I can only take solace in knowing they both retire as the GOATs of the sport. Farewell Tom!
I never saw him perform either. I went to World Finals in SoFi hoping he would do a “surprise” run. He was in attendance rooting everyone on though and they played this exact same vid in his honor. Cool seeing him salute the crowd. I was still bummed.
I met Tom at a show in Pittsburgh just across the street from where he rolled Shake Me in 1998. I will admit it was akward, I was young, in awe of all the highlights I'd grown up with. Seeing him from Goldberg to Team Meents to Max-D. Im so glad I got to see him perform. Thank you Tom you made my childhood so much more awesome.
Mannnn I'm gonna miss tom behind the wheel! All those incredible stunts n crazy saves he had over the years ! He's like the Kobe Bryant of monster jam ☝🏾💯 we love u tom
My favorite driver ever since i was a little boy and i went to my first monster jam at the age of 3. Love you Tom! Thank you for 20 years of carnage in my life.
Thank You Tom Meents for all of the greatest memories I have ever had. I am your biggest #1 fan of all time I've never got to see you perform in person but I am proud to be your biggest fan. Congratulations on the greatest 14 Time Monster Jam World Finals Championship. You will be missed.
Thanks Tom for the amazing memories you made on the track you will be missed on the track. Tom you are monster jam you are the godfather of monster jam and the only 14 time world champion. Thanks Tom I loved watching you in Philly last year. Congratulations Tom. I salute you 5:04

we love you Tom! Thank you for my childhood and i will always remember what youve done. My future kids will know about You! May Godbless you and the rest of your career and Please Enjoy your life! sending prayers from Atlanta GA!
Thank You Tom Meents for everything of Monster Jam. I been watching Monster Jam since when I was a child growing up in the 2000s and watching the World Finals on DVDs and UA-cam you are amazing driver you work hard to be the best. Heroes will be remembered but legends never dies.
Hey Tom, I’m grateful for all the great memories and loss of voice every year I watched you in St. Louis. Meeting you for the first time several years ago in the first ever pit party I went to was awesome. I still have the picture of us standing in front of the truck. That was over 15 years ago! Again, thank you. Now, it’s time to slow down and teach the new upcoming champions how to do it. You’re freakin awesome man!!
Got the chance to see Tom live one time and he’s an absolutely amazing driver. Love the way he hypes the crowd up from inside the truck when he’s doing a moonwalk. He’s the kinda guy you just don’t take your eyes off when he’s on the dirt. Thank you for giving me and my kids something to bond over. We love monster jam!
Thank you Tom Meents, for MaxD,Team Meents, all the carnage and stunt and racing and most importantly, the memories and you're the greatest and legend and 14x monster jam champion and Thanks for everything 😢🤗👍🧡🖤
We love you Tom!!!! Thank you for all the memories from my childhood and so many others going into our adulthood! I f'kin' love you brother! THANK YOU! 🖤🧡
You will always be the Ric flair of monster jam with the most world finals championship wins and I'm glad I got to see you many times over the years and watch you perform since 2006. Thank you Tom Meents😢.
Congratulations on your retirement from active competition. My son and our family will never forget all of your performances we on tv and the many we saw live including the night you came into the stands and gave him the helmet off your head in Tampa. You are the best ever!
My childhood wouldn't have been so awesome without Tom! Can't thank my grandpa enough for turning on the TV when I was real little to Monster Jam because without him, I wouldn't have had my childhood hero. Farewell Tom and LONG LIVE MAXIMUM DESTRUCTION!
Ty Tom for everything you’ve done for the Industry and making mine and many others childhood. You’ll be greatly appreciated and we’ll miss you out on the track.
In the event Tom reads this comment ... When I was just a kid, my buddy and I PPV'd the first 3 world finals. I've got an autographed picture of you putting me in a headlock in front of your Meents truck at Stafford Springs in CT from way back when. You, and a bit of Jim Koehler, are what got me into the sport. Thanks for nearly 25+ years of memories and entertainment.
I met him in 2011 when I was 7 or 8 he signed my shirt and took a pic super dope dude getting old sucks I’m just glad I got the shirt and the opportunity
I got to see Meents a number of times in Cardiff in the 00s, then my last time at a Monster Jam events, I got to see Dennis Anderson just before he retired from the sport. Thanks you 2, childhood memories. 🫡
there will not be anyone as legendary at the same level as Dennis Anderson whom Tom meets he is one of the most well-known and very crazy drivers who would do crazy stunts there won’t be any other monster jam drivers like him
Thank you Tom Meents, for MaxD, Goldberg, Team Meents, all the carnage, the epic rivalry, the stunts, and most importantly, the memories. Thank you Tom.
The rivalry of Tom Meents and Dennis Anderson made Monster Jam for me as a kid. Our family would tune in every weekend to see them do battle. I first got to meet Tom in Red Bluff when Northern California was still a stop for the top drivers. He was driving Goldberg at the time. Never did get to meet Dennis. Sad to see icons of the sport retire. Huge thanks to Tom for all the thrills and memories over the last 30 years.
To:Tom thank you so much for the great memories train someone like you you had so much memories give that Chans to someone else to bring back the memories ❤❤❤❤ love you Tom we will miss you😢😢
Thank you Tom, you’ve been my favorite MJ driver since i started watching in 2006, seeing Max-D tear it up on tv before going to school is a core memory of my childhood. I have pictures somewhere of going to my first show at Stafford Springs CT in 2009, got a few pictures with Tom at the meet and greet, i’ll cherish them alot more now.
First ever monster jam vhs I watched was World Finals 2. Since then, Tom, Dennis and all those drivers from the 2000’s 2010’s were my childhood. Got to meet Tom and watch him perform a few times live, and wanted to see him in East Rutherford this year one last time, but his retirement is well deserved. Gonna miss you tearing it up Tom❤️
When I was little, I was the biggest Dennis fan and my father was the biggest Tom fan. We experienced our own minuscule bit of that rivalry watching Advanced Auto Parts Monster Jam every TV episode that those two legends had. I came to respect both evenly as I grew up, and as their retirement years from trucks were announced it was sad to see them go. Tom, as fans we were all ecstatic to see you win one more time in 2024 as you always have, giving it everything and not holding back. There’s a reason why the name Maximum Destruction went to you, and without you it will be hard to fill those shoes. Thank you Tom for everything, and best wishes in this new chapter of your career. I do hope to see you start up a big engine somewhere else in the future. ;)
Tom made so many memories for me growing up. I’m 24 and I remember watching him early on in MJ with the Goldberg and Team Meents years being blown away by his performances. Tom, thanks for everything and we will always remember what you brought to Monster Jam!
@@alexanderredlin8493 Nice! Ironically the last time I went to an MJ event was in 2011 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. I haven’t watched MJ since then but I come back every now and then. I’m an old school fan but I appreciate it’s still going on. My favorite drivers that I have the most memories of meeting was Jim Koehler and Chris Bergeron. Those guys were so passionate and really took the time to chat with us fans. I met Dennis Anderson once out in public which was crazy.
Thank you for everything for 30 years career 14 world finals champion is now working for training new drivers I hope you have long life and take care of yourself May God bless you ❤😢
Tom Meents you were and always will be my driver thank you for entertaining me and hopefully max d still gonna be around cause thatsy team in Monster Jam I root for thats my truck. Thanks for the members enjoy retirement. Thank you
Mam, I've been watching monster truck shows since I was like 8 years old, I'm now going to be 40 here soon. I finally got to meet this man few years back at the monster jam show in Glendale arizona, my wife got to meet him as well. I did get to let him know how big of a fan I am of him and his style that I told him I've been watching him since he started driving the Bill Goldberg truck. He just laughed and his response was "man you really aged yourself". I took it 100% as a joke cause it's true. That was so many lightyears ago. I've enjoyed watching every run he has made even if it was only 15 seconds long. Thank you Tom for all the memories from when I was a kid to being able to watch you live with my wife and daughter.
It said you're leaving... I've been a grave digger fan since I saw him... And then you appeared on the scene you by far were the sickest nuttiest driver I have ever had the pleasure to witness.... Thank you for all the great memories and entertainment. 😎👍👍👍
I'm going to miss the 14 time world finals champion Tom Meents the driver of Goldberg, Team Meents, Maximum Destruction, and Max-d, and he also was the professor (the teacher at monster jam university) farewell Tom Meents
Seen Tom in monster patrol, bulldozer, Goldberg, team meents and in maximum destruction. Been watching since i was 3 and now almost 28. Tom will be missed and there will never be another driver like him.
0:55 Actually, That was in World Finals 11. In World Finals 10 it was Maximum Destruction against Captain’s Curse. There will never be another driver like Meents…
Thanks for the memories Tom! You had an unbelievable career with 14 world championships and an incredible legacy! You are the definition of Maximum Destruction!
Insanely sad I never got the opportunity to see this man live. Same with Dennis...
I can only take solace in knowing they both retire as the GOATs of the sport. Farewell Tom!
i didn’t either but i did meet Tom’s son Colton
same here i wish i got to seen him, i was gonna see him in miami this year for my first monster jam show but sadly wasnt able to
I never saw him perform either. I went to World Finals in SoFi hoping he would do a “surprise” run. He was in attendance rooting everyone on though and they played this exact same vid in his honor. Cool seeing him salute the crowd. I was still bummed.
I’ve seen both him and Dennis, they were amazing when they would go head to head.
@@AWAREDIAGRAM680 like in the championship race at world finals 11
I will never forget being at the Georgia Dome when he debuted the Goldberg Machine. Thank you SO much for the memories Tom!!

No driver can do what he did in Max-D and NO DRIVER will fill the role of Max-D driver like Tom. He is One of a Kind.

a class act in every sense of the word, he truly left it in a better place than he found it.
I have met Tom and I love to watch him
He was very inducted to the Hall of Fame for Monster Jam 2024.
Maximum Destruction baby

All I have to say is we all love ya and you are one of the best! 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
