Following four explosive west coast rounds, The Traxxas TORC Truck Series presented by AMSOIL heads to the "Big House" in Crandon, Wisconsin this weekend. TORC's June 20-21 race weekend at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway opens the special 40th Anniversary 
season at the legendary track.
The Crandon Brush Run race weekend will feature the 16th running of the Forest County Potawatomi Chairman's Cup race.
"Every off-road racer in the country wants their name on one of the three Crandon Cups," said TORC co-owner Ricky Johnson. "I am excited both as a racer and a promoter, to be bringing short course back to Crandon this year."
Fresh off his first podium finish of 2009 in Perris, Calif., defending Pro 2wd champion Dan Vanden Heuvel will make his 31st Crandon start. Defending BorgWarner Shootout Champion Scott Taylor will take to the punishing 1.5 mile track along with top drivers like AMSOIL's Mike Oberg and Mark Jenkins. Seven-time Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath will make his first career start at Crandon in the AMSOIL Pro 2wd class.
The Kumho Tire Pro 4x4 class is packed with several past winners of the Brush Run. Power house Johnny Greaves, who won in both 2003 and 2006, will battle it out with AMSOIL's Scott Douglas, and 1994 Brush Run Winner, Curt LeDuc. Monster Energy driver and points leader, Rick Huseman will attempt to continue his winning streak. Huseman, who is leading with the most Oakley Bomb Run Awards for fastest lap time of the race, is the driver to beat in 2009.
