Crandon International Releases Packed Schedule For 46th Labor Day Off-Road World Championship® Weekend
​

CRANDON, WISC. – In preparation for hosting the oldest and most prestigious stadium-style off-road races in the world, Crandon International Raceway today released its official action-packed Labor Day weekend schedule.

Representing what many call the sport’s “Indianapolis 500,” for tens of thousands of fun-loving race fans the end-of-summer trek to the Wisconsin Northwoods is a “can’t miss” tradition. For 2015, guests to the 400-acre “Big House” can look forward to a jam-packed, three-day schedule of great racing, rich tradition and on-site entertainment that make up the unforgettable “Crandon Experience.”

Crandon’s custom wrought iron gates will open to welcome visitors on Wednesday, September 2nd

at precisely 12:00 noon (EST). The facility’s massive grounds feature nearly 2,000 manicured grass campsites, many of which are reserved months in advance. While track management expects another sell-out for campsites, those remaining will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Daily parking and admission tickets are also available at the gate.

For three generations, the end of summer in Wisconsin is a 46-year-old celebration at Crandon International Off Road Raceway (top). Known as "The Big House," the 400-acre facility will host the sport's largest race over three days of competition and live entertainment. On Saturday night the Crandon crowd will party late into the night thanks to the Vic Ferrari Band. (Peter Murphy image)

The weekend officially kicks off on Friday, September 4th in downtown Crandon with the Pit Crew Competition starting at 9:30am. All of the weekend’s The Off Road Championship (TORC) Pro and Crandon Sportsman class cars and drivers will line the streets of the small Wisconsin community to interact with fans just prior to the 46th Anniversary World Championship Labor Day Parade. A perfect slice of authentic Americana, the parade is a beloved Crandon tradition.

After taking the mile-long drive back to Crandon International Raceway, competitors will begin preparing for the Forest County Potawatomi “Friday Night of Thunder.” This special event will include TORC Pro class practice, Crandon Sportsman practice as well as special racer for the Brew Pub Short Course Karts, the Lincoln Electric 1600 buggies and the modified Trophy Kart class. At 8:00pm race fans will enjoy a live concert at the Monster Energy stage courtesy of the Road Trip band.
