Ten-thousand-pound monster trucks are set to crush cars at Luedecke Arena this Saturday and Sunday, when Monster Truck Wars rolls into Austin with a three-showtime schedule built around 90-minute main events. The weekend lineup includes fan favorites Shark Attack, T-Rex, Sheriff and Outlaw, plus a real-life robot battle and kids' Power Wheel races for the smallest spectators.
According to event organizers, the Austin stop runs October 3 through October 4, 2026, at Luedecke Arena, located at 7311 Decker Lane. The same listing describes the venue as part of the Travis County Exposition Center, the broader Austin, Texas site where the arena sits. Each main event is expected to run roughly 90 minutes and will feature the trucks crushing cars, per that report.
As CultureMap Austin notes, the weekend bill folds in a real-life robot battle alongside the truck action, giving the show a bit of a sci-fi edge between runs. The outlet also lists Shark Attack, T-Rex, Sheriff and Outlaw among the trucks taking the dirt at the Austin event.
A Pit Party, Truck Rides and Quad Racing Round Out the Bill
Before the main event, organizers are promoting a pre-show Pit Party where fans can meet the drivers and get an up-close look at the trucks and track, the same report states. A kids' fun zone with a bounce house is part of that pre-show setup, and Sergeant Smash will be selling rides in a real monster truck throughout the show.
The weekend card also includes Quad Wars, described as wheel-to-wheel racing among professional riders with a cash purse and bragging rights on the line. Kids ages 3 to 9 can join in the action themselves through Power Wheel activities, though the organizer's listing notes they'll need to bring their own Power Wheel and reserve a spot ahead of time.
That family-first formula tracks with how Monster Truck Wars has run elsewhere this year. A March 2026 stop at the Rusk County Expo Center arena in Henderson featured the same kind of layered programming, with The Henderson News reporting that Shark Attack, T-Rex and Outlaw each brought more than 1,700 horsepower and weighed several tons as they tore around the jumps and turns. That event also paired quad racing with a Kids Powerwheel Race for children ages 3 to 9, mirroring the structure Austin crowds can expect this weekend.
Tickets and Showtimes
VIP, general admission and Pit Party passes are being sold online at monstertrucks.fun, organizers say, with showtimes at noon and 6 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. A separate AXS listing shows a Monster Truck Wars performance at Luedecke Arena at noon on Saturday, October 3, 2026, giving ticket buyers at least one confirmed start time to plan around.
As with any outdoor-adjacent arena show, organizers' ticket information cautions that events are subject to change due to weather or other concerns, and they advise attendees to check with the venue or organization to confirm the show is still taking place as scheduled before heading out this weekend.
