Mickey Thomas etched his name into off-road racing history Sunday by winning the prestigious Forest County Potawatomi Cup at Crandon International Raceway during Round 6 of the 2026 AMSOIL Championship Off-Road season.
Thomas emerged as the lone remaining Pro 4 truck in the 33rd running of the Cup race after early leader CJ Greaves crashed out while challenging for the overall lead. Thomas quickly worked through the Pro 2 field and drove away for the victory, adding one of short-course racing’s most coveted trophies to his résumé.
“I’m just so grateful right now,” Thomas said. “This means so much to us. We got the gremlins figured out and everything is going our way right now.”
In Pro-2, points leader Ryan Beat battled Cory Winner for the lead. Beat came out on top with the victory. In the second Pro-2 race it was Ricky Gutierrez claimed a Round 6 win after struggling the last few rounds with his truck.
Connor Barry continued his impressive return from injury by completing a Pro Lite sweep at Crandon. After missing the opening rounds of the season, Barry captured victories on both Saturday and Sunday to move into the championship points lead.
Other Sunday winners included Chris Van Den Elzen in Pro Spec, Michael Meister in Pro Buggy, and Jeb Bootle, who scored victories in both Pro SXS and Pro Stock SXS competition. Meister’s fourth consecutive Pro Buggy win moved him into the class points lead as the series heads to ERX Motor Park in Minnesota next month.
