The race was originally set to be the opening round of the newly formed Championship Off Road Series. In a Crandon first, the Brush Run was held at night under the lights. Of course, things are never easy in Crandon especially in the fall. Officials dodged rain that would make the track a muddy mess.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nIn the Pro-Light race, John Holtger was out front early, but by the second lap, Zach Szymik had stolen the lead. Points leader Kyle Greaves had to be towed off the track with a tie rod issue. When the race restarted, Holtger was back to the lead. Szymik didn\u2019t waste any time stealing the right back. Szymik would get his second career win at Crandon with John Holtger finishing 2nd<\/sup> place.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\r\n\r\nDuring the Pro-2 race, Mickey Thomas wasted no time making a pass for the lead. Ryan Beat and Kyle Kleiman made contact with each other in a battle for second just before the mandatory caution. Light rain began falling, making conditions even more slick on the track. Thomas went on to win the victory.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\r\n\r\nOfficials wasted no time starting the Pro-4 race as rain continued to fall on the track. Andrew Carlson grabbed the holeshot. Johnny Greaves made an early pass to take over the lead from Carlson. A couple of laps later there was plenty of door banging as CJ Greaves moved into second creating a Greaves vs. Greaves situation. Carlson wasn\u2019t having any of it and pushed his way back to second. CJ made it past Carlson as did Kyle Leduc. Leduc continued battling hard with both Greaves, finally taking over the lead.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe October issue of DirtSportsWorld Magazine will have full coverage of the season championship winners\r\n\r\nPhotos: Amanda Fonferek","excerpt":"

Racing started with several classes of World Cup events.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\r\n\r\nIn Pro-2. Doug Mittag battled back and forth with Jerett Brooks for the lead. Brooks ended up pulling off the track leaving Rob MacCachren to chase down Mittag. Mittag won the race taking home a $20,000 and a new Polaris RZR 1000. Corey Winner took 3rd<\/sup> on the podium.

RJ Anderson and Adrian Cenni had a hard-fought battle for 2nd<\/sup> however Cenni never made it to the podium. Cole Mamer ended up in 3rd<\/sup>.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\r\n\r\nCole Mamer then led the Pro-Light Cup race but would pull off the track with an issue. In the end, Zach Szymik would get his first career Pro-Light victory and Cup win.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe last race of the day is the famed Amsoil Cup. The race puts Pro-2\u2019s against Pro-4\u2019s. Despite a staggered start, Pro-4\u2019s catch the Pro-2 trucks. The fatest drivers then have to navigate through traffic to get to the front. RJ Anderson did just that in the final laps, winning his 2nd<\/sup> Amsoil Cup event. Very few drivers have back to back wins at Crandon.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nCheck back for the October issue of DirtSportsWorld for expanded Crandon coverage.","excerpt":"
