FCP & CRANDON RACEWAY ANNOUNCE 2008 EVENTS SCHEDULE

Crandon International Off-Road Raceway CRANDON, Wisc. A trio of full throttle events highlights the 2008 summer entertainment schedule at the famed Crandon International Off-Road Raceway. All three events include major sponsorship by long-time Crandon Raceway sponsor and partner the Forest County Potawatomi Community.

The season officially opens at Crandon June 21-22 with the annual Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run Races. The race weekend is the first of a pair of Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing (WSORR) dates at the legendary track. The weekend features the enormously popular and big money FCP Chairman’s Cup race. The race is the longest running event of its type in the nation. The 15th running for the prestigious Cup is slated for Sunday, June 22 at 5 p.m. Defending champion of the Chairman’s Cup is “Crandon Carl” Renezeder. Renezeder out-dueled Mike Oberg for the 2007 win, coming from last place to first place in the most exciting Chairman’s Cup race in history. On July 18-20, Crandon Raceway hosts the Forest County Potawatomi Ultimate ATV Experience. The Raceway has expanded its scope beyond a regional event and is making this a true national event. The track, which resides on 400 acres, will feature all kinds of ATV performance events as well as trail rides and other competitive and family events. The grand finale at Crandon is the final race of the WSORR season when the track hosts the annual off-road World Championships over Labor Day weekend, August 29-August 31. The weekend features two of off-road biggest races. The World Championships feature the 14th annual BorgWarner Shootout and the all-out 10 lap battle for the famous BorgWarner Cup. Johnny Greaves is the defending champion. Also featured is the 2nd annual FCP “Decision at Sundown” PRO Light Pickup Challenge Cup race. The latter is the big money race for mid-size pickup truck racers and Jeff Kincaid won the inaugural event.
