Named America\u2019s “Facility of the Year” at the 2022 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show the raceway hosted more than 85,500 fans at its standout events, including a KISS “End of the Road” tour concert during the 54th Polaris Crandon World Championship Off-Road Race\u00ae weekend. In 2023, event attendance records were set at both the World Championships (68,494) and overall season attendance (85,523). <\/p>\n
As is Crandon tradition, the race season kicked off earlier this week as race enthusiasts began securing their Camp Crandon campsite and Grandstand seat reservations for the 2024 Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run (June 21 – 23). <\/p>\n
Fans with Brush Run camp reservations will then get exclusive access to reserve Camp Crandon sites and grandstands seats for the Polaris Crandon World Championships\/Red Bull Cup (August 29 – September 1) from Monday, March 18 at 12:00 noon (CST) through Sunday, March 24.<\/p>\n
On Monday, March 25 at 12:00 noon (CST) reservations for the World Championship weekend will be open to all. Last year, reservations for Camp Crandon on Labor Day weekend were sold out six months in advance — also a new Crandon record. <\/p>\n
Teams can purchase racer camping for either or both Crandon race weekends beginning on Monday, April 1 at 12:00 noon (CST). <\/p>\n
All 2024 camping, grandstand, and weekend passes will be available online by visiting www.crandonoffroad.com. <\/p>\n
Here’s what fans can anticipate from an action-packed 2024 season:<\/p>\n
31st Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run: The season kicks off with the 31st Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run races from June 21 to June 23. Fans can anticipate thrilling practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and two full rounds of racing across Champ Off-Road Pro and Sportsman categories. <\/p>\n
55th Polaris Crandon World Championships: In late August, the iconic Polaris Crandon World Championships, now in its 55th edition, returns for a four-day spectacle from August 29 to September 1. Boasting more than 2,300 designated sites, Camp Crandon is projected to reach full capacity early, providing fans with an immersive experience featuring on-track competitions, concerts, and camping.<\/p>\n
Red Bull Crandon World Cup: On September 1, the 9th Red Bull Crandon World Cup Sunday takes center stage, featuring top Pro drivers vying for prestigious Crandon World Championship titles in the sport\u2019s top classes. The weekend culminates in the highly anticipated Red Bull Cup race finale, won last year by the Lucas Oil-backed Ford Pro-2 unlimited truck of Keegan Kincaid. <\/p>\n
Crandon Class 11 World Championships: Vintage Volkswagen Beetle enthusiasts will rejoice as the Crandon Class 11 World Championships return for the fourth consecutive year in 2024. Now a highly popular part of the Polaris Crandon World Championship weekend, the Class 11 category promises a nostalgic spectacle.<\/p>\n
Last year, more than 425 race teams from nearly every state, Mexico, and Canada participated in the Polaris Crandon World Championships. This included a wide variety of truck, buggy, side-by-side, and four-wheel drive vehicles. Given the recent explosion in the off-road lifestyle by racers and fans alike, that Crandon record is likely to be eclipsed in 2024. <\/p>\n
