Monster Jam driver Loghan Ashline opens up about inspiring young girls

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Enmarket is swapping out ice for truckloads of dirt this weekend.

Monster Jam is rolling back into the Hostess City for its second time ever, the first show starting Friday at 7p.m.

WSAV was inside Enmarket Arena with one of the Monster Jam drivers who will be tearing it up at the event.

Loghan Ashline is a recent addition to the team and has already cemented her spot.

Over the summer, she received a competition win in freestyle. She says it was the best moment so far in her career since she competes against veteran drivers.

This weekend, Ashline will compete in a donut competition, skill challenges, speed races and freestyle events.

Monster Jam reached out for Ashline to try out, and she fell in love quickly with the motorsport.

“I’ve been involved in motorsports my whole life,” Ashline said. “I’ve always been passionate about it. I’ve always wanted to be a race car driver, but I never expected it to be in monster trucks.”

It’s the best of both worlds for Ashline, making her worlds collide, showing her girly side, and what she calls her tomboy side: racing 12,000-pound trucks.
