Large entry list for Crandon's World Championship weekend
Large entry list for Crandon's World Championship weekend
The list reads like a who's who of top drivers, including Brian Deegan, R.J. Anderson and Sheldon Creed, along with former TORC PRO Light class champ Andrew Caddell. Additional PRO Light racers registered for the Crandon World Championship include: Jerett Brooks, Bradley Morris, Jimmy Stephenson and Jessie Johnson (Robby Gordon's SST driver and member of the Johnson Racing family of Charlotte, N.C.).
"I'll tell you what ... there's no better place to be than along the Potawatomi Turn One at Crandon when we turn those PRO Lights loose on the Land Rush start," said Crandon's Cliff Flannery. "There's gonna be a year's worth of bragging rights on the line as to who's truly the best driver in the country crowned the PRO Light World Champion on Saturday!"
The West Coast aces will certainly have their hands full with the stars from the Traxxas TORC Series, including top overall racer CJ Greaves (Monster Energy/Toyota/Maxxis), second place Keegan Kincaid (Traxxas/AMSOIL/Maxxis), third place Brad Lovell (AMSOIL/Torchmate/BFG) and a host of others.
In addition to the stacked TORC PRO Light field, top PRO 2WD racers Robbie Woods, Mike Porter and Austin Kimbrell will be joined by desert racing greats Dan McMillan (grandson of Baja legend Corky McMillan) Robbie Pierce (owner of Mastercraft Safety) and Jesse Jones to enhance the already stacked TORC PRO 2WD field featuring Bryce Menzies (Red Bull/KMC Wheels/Peak), the two-time defending TORC PRO 2WD champion, and Rob MacCachren, who dominated Sunday's action at the past RedBud/TORC round.
In the PRO 4x4s it will be Curt & Todd LeDuc making the trek from California to see if they can get between the red hot Rick Johnson/Johnny Greaves rivalry at Crandon - a spot TORC regulars Scott Douglas, Adrian Cenni and Mike and Mark Jenkins already have their eye on as well.
With racers and trucks/buggies, crews and off-road fans converging from all points on the U.S. map, Crandon will be awash with activity. Since 1970 the off-road phenomenon has played out in Crandon, making it the nation's longest-running short course off-road competition.
