TORC Series Pro Teams Test at Crandon in Preparation for Season Opener

CRANDON, Wis. -- The rumble of engines was heard at the "Big House" this week as a number of Traxxas TORC Series Presented by AMSOIL teams tested here in preparation for the series opener June 19-20 and the series finale Sept. 4-5. The track has been redesigned for the 2010 season in an effort to produce faster speeds and more passing opportunities, both translating into more excitement for the fans.

Attending the session this week were:

PRO 4x4 class: Scott Douglas, Johnny GreavesO, and Mike Jenkins

PRO 2WD class: Mike Oberg, Jeremy McGrath, Chad Hord, Mark Jenkins, and Jeff Kincaid

PRO Light class: Brad Lovell

"We had a great session of testing at the 'Big House' this week and based on what we saw, the fans can expect the kind of action they're used to when they attend a TORC Series race," said Kevin Miller, CEO of USAC, the TORC Series' sanctioning body. "We're very excited to come back to Crandon in a couple of weeks for two full days of the best off-road racing in the country."

Tickets for opening weekend at the "Big House" start as low as $20 with kids under 12 admitted free and can be purchased at CrandonOffRoad.com.
