The skies cleared, and the rain returned. That is the type of weekend racers had at the final Championship Off Road Race at the newest venue in the series- Mid America Outdoors. Located in Jay, Oklahoma, the track featured long sweeping turns and high banked elevation. Friday\u2019s practice and qualifying were rained out. Saturday, the track dried out enough to give racers a quick practice lap before racing began. Of course, being the final event weekend, championships were on the line. Saturday would be the only day for racing as another rainstorm rained out Sunday\u2019s event. That didn\u2019t stop the series from crowning champions.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7827\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Ronne-Anderson-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7828\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Cory-Winner-Banquet-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the Pro2 class, Cory Winner finally found redemption. In 2021, he missed the championship by a single point. He struggled again the following year. 2023 would finally be Winner\u2019s year. Consistent wins and podiums this season put Winner ahead of Mickey Thomas and Ryan Beat. When everything was fully tallied, Winner won the season championship by seventeen points. Ronnie Anderson came away with his first Championship Off Road win in Saturday\u2019s Pro-2 race.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7830\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Greaves-P4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7831\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_CJ-Greaves-Banquet-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nCJ Greaves won his eighth Pro4 championship. Seven season wins including Saturday\u2019s race at Mid America Outdoors, put CJ way out front in the points chase and almost untouchable. Even with a new truck, CJ quickly got into the groove with new set up to make it screaming fast.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7833\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Greaves-PL-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7834\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Kyle-Greaves-Banquet-633x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"633\" height=\"1024\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe Pro Lite Championship always seems to come down to the last race. Kyle Greaves has been in the hunt. Trey Gibbs has also been right there to capitalize on every point possible. Kyle stayed consistent only missing two podiums the entire season. Even with Brody Eggleston\u2019s Saturday win, Greaves still came out on top in the final point standings.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7835\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Chad-Rayford-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7837\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-Champ-Off-Road-Mid-America-Season-Finale_Chad-Rayford-Banquet-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nChad Rayford came out swinging in the Pro Spec class. Rayford spent the off-season changing an older Pro Lite truck into spec class rules, adding a new motor that fit the program. He went out got a podium the first weekend he hit the track. From there Rayford had consistent finishes throughout the season. Unfortunately, contact in Saturday\u2019s race kept him off the podium and gave Nick Visser a win. Rayford\u2019s season points lead was enough to earn him the final championship spot for the season.","excerpt":"<p>The rains came. The skies cleared, and the rain returned.

The two battled door to door for several laps. RJ went on to claim the victory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Next up was Pro-2. Cory Winner brought the momentum from a Saturday Championship Off Road series win into Sunday\u2019s race. Winner shot out to the front with an early lead and held off massive pressure behind from Jerett Brooks and the other highly competitive Pro-2 drivers. Winner would hold on for the win in a technical weekend podium sweep in the class.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7709\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Crandon-2023-Fall-World-Championships_CiscoBio-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nFollowing up on the second race of the weekend for the Class 11 bugs, Cisco Bio was back out front tackling the high-speed jumps of Crandon International Raceway. Bio added another World Championship ring to his growing collection. In the Ultra4 class, it looked as if Paul Wolff was going to grab another win just as he done the night before in the rocks. Unfortunately, bad luck struck. Wolff and Loren Healy made contact coming off a jump in the front stretch. Wolff did all he could to save it but was unsuccessful. Meantime out front, Vaughn Gittin Jr was on the move to claim a Crandon World Championship win.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7710\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Crandon-2023-Fall-World-Championships_Kyle-Greaves-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nChad Rayford brought home his first ever World Championship win in the Pro-Spec class.

Michael Meister came away with the Pro-Buggy win.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7711\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Crandon-2023-Fall-World-Championships_Cup-P2-Start-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe countdown to the final event of the day- the Red Bull Cup race had arrived. It was the race all of the fans and drivers were waiting for. The race pits Pro-2 against Pro-4 trucks. It\u2019s an all-out knockout door banging battle. The winner takes home a huge check, custom shot gun and of course gets to add their name to the perpetual Cup that lives in Crandon. Every driver wants these accolades and only the best survives. The first green flag flew with Pro-2 rumbling around turn one. Keegan Kincaid had the holeshot. A massive crash by Myan Spacarelli would cause a full restart. Once again, the flag was thrown for Pro-2. Kincaid navigated through the chaos to get another holeshot. Just seconds later Pro-4 trucks came roaring around turn one. As the laps ticked down Keegan stayed on the gas as RJ Anderson began to hunt him down. Keegan made it through to the final lap for the win putting the Pro-2 class back on top for the Cup.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7712\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Crandon-2023-Fall-World-Championships_Kincaid-Checkered-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>","excerpt":"<p>World Championship Day at Crandon International Raceway arrived with much anticipation.

Sunday\u2019s race saw CJ spending the entire time trying to catch Henderson with no way to pass him. Henderson grabbed a much-needed victory.

Unfortunately, per the rules, Kincaid would also not be allowed to run in the afternoon\u2019s Cup event. While track conditions were slick and muddy, Ryan Beat found the momentum he needed to claim the victory. Over in Pro-4, the battle brewed once again with CJ Greaves and Jimmy Henderson. This time things got heated. Greaves made contact with Henderson sending him into the wall with a flat tire. Greaves went on to finish in the top spot.

Ricky Gutierrez came away with the holeshot until Johnny Holtger took over the lead. Several laps later, Pro-4 driver CJ Greaves caught Holtger and made a pass for the lead. Greaves was behind the wheel of his dad\u2019s Pro-4, a truck he had never driven before. Greaves own truck suffered mechanical issues earlier in the day. Greaves went on to win his second back to back Cup event. His dad, Johnny took home back to back victories in 2017 and 2018.

With equally matched trucks, the Spec class was designed to be a driver\u2019s class.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7269\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2AntigoRayford-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\u00a0 <img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7271\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2Antigo_MickeyThomas-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn Pro-2, Mickey Thomas and Cory Winner battled for early leads. As the laps wound down, Thomas continued to stretch his lead all the way to the checkered flag. Ryan Beat dug deep and finished second ahead of Winner. Beat holds a four-point lead in the standings leaving the Antigo season opener.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7270\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2Antigo_MickeyThomasWin-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7273\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2Antigo_GreavesP4-Win-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn Pro-4, it was a repeat performance for CJ Greaves. Cole Mamer initially gave Greaves a good run, but bad luck struck and Mamer\u2019s day would come to an end after breaking the left front suspension on the truck. Kyle Chaney attempted shut down Greaves on the restart. In the end Greaves came away with the win and weekend sweep in the class. In total Greaves leaves Antigo with five trophies after a Pro Turbo Side-by-Side sweep.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7274\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2Antigo_Greaves-Podium-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7276\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2Antigo_GreavesUTV-1024x840.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"525\" \/>\r\n\r\nBrody Eggleston claimed his first career Pro Lite win in Round 2. Eggleston held a nice lead for the first half of the race. After the mandatory caution, Matt Wood applied pressure on Eggleston. Eggleston stayed calm, cool and collected driving the truck to the checkered flag for his first win. Kyle Greaves rounded out the podium in third.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7275\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023ChampOffroadOpenerRound2Antigo_Eggleston-PL-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe Championship Off Road Racing Series heads to Crandon International Raceway June 24<sup>th<\/sup>.","excerpt":"<p>Sunday\u2019s Round 2 racing action in Antigo at the Roaring Lions Raceway saw some podium firsts.
