The cheerleading gig ended in 2004 when someone asked Johnson if she would be interested in competing in an all-women’s event.
Johnson was the mother to a newborn and a toddler, and said she “was more of a cheerleader on the sidelines at the time.” Those trips were for fun.īut Frank began in 2000 to compete in rock crawling, an extreme form of off-road racing because of the rough terrain. Johnson, 41, certainly didn’t think she would be a monster truck attraction when she and Frank used to spend much of their free time camping and taking their 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser off road. So Johnson will be at Sam Boyd Stadium on Thursday through Saturday for the Monster Jam World Finals, one of the top names in a sport she didn’t expect to be part of and in a place she didn’t think would become her adopted city.

Life can be like, taking unexpected turns, which describes her job as a monster truck driver and how she got to that point.
“We never thought in a million years that we would stay here this long, but we made it our home, and now all our family in California has moved up here,” Johnson said. Yet here she is so many years later, Johnson and her family - having grown to four with two teenage sons - are entrenched in Las Vegas. The city happened to sit conveniently between her hometown in Southern California and Provo, Utah, where Johnson had graduated from Brigham Young. When Nicole Johnson and her husband, Frank, moved to Las Vegas in 1996, they didn’t see this becoming their permanent home.
