The Toughest Monster Truck Tour will return to Covelli Centre this weekend for two shows, featuring some new behemoths and some old favorites.

Dirt Crew, the original monster-sized dump truck, driven by Jerry Beck

Heavy Hitter, driven by Derick Anson

Snake Bite, driven by Vinny Venom

Bigfoot 21, the legendary truck, driven by Larry Swim

Basher, a new truck built around a 1987 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Kevin Lewis.

Spectators will also see a clash of titans when Reptar and Galactron, two giant transforming robots, do battle.

Covelli Centre’s floor will be turned into a dirt track for the two shows, which will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Advance tickets range from $12 to $21 at the box office. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 800-745-3000.

Each show will be preceded by a pit party from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., at which visitors can see the trucks up close and meet the drivers. Pit pass tickets are $5.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for those without pit passes.
