CRANDON, Wisconsin (June 11, 2025) -- With long warm days of summer serving as a picturesque backdrop in the Wisconsin Northwoods, Crandon International Raceway is preparing to host its first major weekend of 2025 at the upcoming 32nd Forest County Potawatomi Community Crandon Brush Run races.
The third stop on the AMSOIL Champ Off-Road series season, a busy Brush Run weekend schedule is set to take place from Friday, June 20th through Sunday, June 22nd. Fans can look forward to the gates of Camp Crandon opening for four nights of camping promptly at 12:00 noon (CST) on Thursday, June 19th.
The popular weekend will feature more than 250 racers competing in 39 rounds of competition for all Pro and Sportsman categories that make up the AMSOIL Champ Off-Road Series. Race fans can expect large and highly competitive fields of truck, buggy and UTV classes, including the spectacular vehicles making up the Pro 4, Pro 2, Pro Lite and Pro Spec categories.
Fans wanting to enjoy the 2025 Crandon International Raceway season kick-off are encouraged to come on Friday, June 20th for no admission or parking fees courtesy of Forest County Potawatomi Community and the raceway. Crandon's "Free Friday" begins with gates opening to the public at 9:00am. Race action kicks off Friday, June 20 at 11:30 am with 19 sessions of Pro and Sportsman category practice, followed at 2:40pm by seven Pro class qualifying for trucks, buggies and SxS classes.
The weekend concludes on Sunday afternoon with the prestigious 32nd Crandon Forest County Potawatomi Community Cup race, an all-out competition that pits Pro 2 and Pro 4 racers on the track at the same time with a staggered start. Racers will be competing for a total Community Cup purse of $32,000, with the winner taking home a $15,000 cash prize and a prominent place in Crandon history. Last year CJ Greaves once again drove his Monster Energy-backed Toyota to a hugely popular victory.
Next weekend's event also celebrates the unique partnership between the world's largest purpose-built off-road track and the Forest County Potawatomi community. Both entities work to serve the local population and economy of Wisconsin's picturesque Forest County, located in the state's popular Northwoods region -- a growing tourist destination for outdoor recreation.
In addition to racing, the weekend schedule live music at the track's popular Crandon Clubhouse pavilion and bar. Friday night will rock with a live House DJ and Crandon Karaoke while the vibe will go back in time Saturday night with That 90's Band. Both parties start promptly at 8:00pm and will run until 12:00 midnight.
Last year's FCP Crandon Brush Run enjoyed a strong crowd despite challenges with the weather. Grass sites in Camp Crandon are still available, as are a limited number of grandstands seats. All ticket information and reservations can be made directly by visiting www.crandonoffroad.com.
