torccrandonCrandon, Wisconsin - Rockstar Energy Racing's Rob MacCachren arrived to the nation's oldest short course off road race course and the place he has had success at since the mid-1990s. Racing in front of 50,000 plus fans all standing on their feet cheering on the nation's top off road racing icons. Rob MacCachren weaved his magic through the intense land rush start that the Crandon International Raceway is well regarded for and after two full days of racing MacCachren charged his Rockstar/Mastercraft Pro 2 sponsored Pro 2 around the 1.65-mile race course each day resulting in podium finishes. Most importantly, MacCachren increased his overall season points total in his quest for the 2009 TORC Series Championship.

Saturday Crandon World Championship Race - TORC Round 11

TORC Pro 2 race trucks took to the track featured as the main event late Saturday afternoon in front of the capacity crowd and by the end of the first turn, racing at nearly 100-miles an hour, Rob MacCachren charged the #11 Ford F150 around the track towards the front in the epic Saturday Crandon World Championship Race.

crandonSaturday's main event featured a full field of Pro 2's in front of a record crowd that came to Crandon International Raceway to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the famed track. Among the many celebrities were Walker Evans and Jack Flannery, both racing legends that raced against the Las Vegas off road racing champion, Rob MacCachren in the early days of Crandon's fame.

In addition to the important Crandon World Championship Saturday racing was the all-important Round 11 of the 2009 TORC Series and the chase for the elusive TORC TRAXXAS Pro 2 Season Championship Title. Saturday's single-race was billed as both the TORC Round 11 and the Crandon World Championship race.

The veteran Rockstar Energy sponsored racer arrived to famed Wisconsin racetrack locked in a tight point's battle with Ricky Johnson, Todd LeDuc and Jeremy McGrath.

crandonAs the full field of Pro 2's entertained the standing room only crowds, Rob MacCachren did what he does best and charged the #11 Pro 2 around this super fast racecourse. MacCachren ran up to the rear bumper of leader Todd LeDuc several times and put the nose of his #11 Rockstar Energy Pro 2 inside LeDuc's race truck several times attempting a clean pass. With one lap remaining MacCachren made his final charge, but time had run out for the 9-time Crandon Champion to overtake the other ROCKSTAR Energy Racing Pro 2 and he settled for the runner up spot. The second place finish added to the season point's total for the #11 Pro 2 and after eleven rounds of racing he's a mere 8 points out of the lead in the chase for the season championship.

At the finish line MacCachren climbed out of his Mastercraft 3G race seat and took his position on the podium claiming second place.

"We had a great run and earned second place. The crew did a great job on the race truck and the track conditions were excellent. I am never happy with a second place finish, but the goal of our Rockstar Energy Racing team is to win the 2009 Pro 2 TORC Series Championship and we are locked in a close point's battle with fellow Rockstar sponsored racer Todd LeDuc," said MacCachren.

Sunday TORC Round 12

As the sun shined brightly on the capacity crowd, Sunday morning came alive with the announcement that Pro 2 racing was kicking off at 10:30 a.m. The Rockstar Energy Racing team had worked late into Saturday night finalizing the prep on the #11 Rockstar/Mastercraft sponsored race truck. Added to the field for the race today was NASCAR racer, Robby Gordon, himself an accomplished off road racing champion who has battled against Rob MacCachren throughout his entire career.

That was no different on Sunday as the two off road racing champions squared off in perhaps one of the best racing duos in Crandon. MacCachren charged his Pro 2 to the front from the land rush start, but it didn't take long for Polaris sponsored Robby Gordon to get with the program. In fact, Gordon jumped into the battle early as he and MacCachren traded positions throughout the race. Although, in the final few laps the champion racer that Wisconsin fans named, "MacCrandon," pressured Robby Gordon and got by the Polaris sponsored racer finishing the race in the third position while Gordon fell back to the 6th position.

MacCachren said," This is another step towards the season championship. We raced hard and although I'm disappointed about not climbing to the top of the podium, I'm pleased that we raced hard to the checkered flag and the truck performed well. We've got some slight changes that we need to make to the truck but all in all, I'm happy with the performance of the Rockstar Energy Racing team. I've got a long list of thanks to many of our marketing partners that continue to support our racing endeavors especially ROCKSTAR Energy Drink and Mastercraft Seats who were both co-title sponsors for this 40th anniversary of Crandon weekend."

Crandon International Raceway is often regarded as the 'Indianapolis Raceway' of the off road racing world and the 1.65-mile racecourse has entertained millions of race fans over the past 40 years. For the last four decades, the world of off road racing has seen the best of the best arrive to this track in search of victory.

Rob MacCachren captured his first CUP victory in the spring of 1995, when the young off road racer took the world of off road by surprise and claimed the first of six-CUP victories. To date the Rockstar Energy Racing driver has won three Brush Run Chairman's CUP victories (1995, 2000, 2001) as well as three Borg-Warner World Championship CUP wins (1999, 2000, 2001).

Race Recap: Crandon 40th Anniversary Weekend

RACE RECAP: CRANDON, WISCONSIN

Crandon, WI (September 6, 2009)-The Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL made its return to Crandon International Off Road Raceway for the second time this season. Over 40,000 off road fans came to watch the best drivers in the business take on the fastest track on the TORC circuit. So many fans, in fact, that many missed the first race due to the overwhelming amount of traffic.

Saturday in the AMSOIL PRO 4x4 Kyle LeDuc would take the lead from the beginning until he was given the black flag for wrecking Steve Barlow in the first laps of the race. Kyle LeDuc was sent to the back of the pack leaving the window open for Scott Douglas to take the lead and run away with the win. Chad Hord would take second place and the Oakley Bomb in his first PRO 4x4 TORC podium. Mike Jenkins took his second ever career podium and rounded out the top three. Johnny Greaves had an unlucky day after contact with Curt LeDuc, he was out of the race. Rick Huseman had an equally disappointing day finishing fifth.


CrandonHord

In the Kumho Tires PRO 2WD class, Todd LeDuc took the points lead away from Ricky Johnson by finished first and taking the Oakley Bomb; Johnson would end up fifth for the day. Joining LeDuc on the podium was Rob MacCachren and Evan Evans. This is the first podium for Evans in the TORC series. Jeremy McGrath finished fifth behind Johnson. Seven trucks did not finish the race due to several incidents on the track.

Jeff Kincaid and Chad Hord continued their domination of the PRO Light class on Saturday taking first and second. Kincaid also took the Oakley Bomb Run Award for the fastest lap time in the race. Chris Brandt rounded out the podium, Brandt has continued to run very consistently all season long. Marty Hart finished fourth and after a few laps behind Kincaid, sank back to a disappointing fifth place finish. Brian Deegan started the race, but ended up parking due to issues with his truck.


RGCrandon
ParadeAs As soon as the green flag dropped on Sunday's action in the AMSOIL PRO 4x4 there was a major wreck involving six drivers: Mark Jenkins, Mike Jenkins, Steve Barlow, Adrian Cenni, Jamey Flannery, and Steve McCrossan. The narrowed the starting field of thirteen down to half of its original starting size. Officials red flagged the race and went for a restart after extensive clean up of the race track. Within a lap of the restart Kyle LeDuc took the lead and never looked back. LeDuc had such an enormous lead, he nearly lapped the entire pack. He would eventually take the podium and the Oakley Bomb Run Award for the fastest lap time. Fan favorite Johnny Greaves put up a good battle, but a late race incident would take him out of the race for the BorgWarner trophy.

Robby Gordon made his TORC debut on Sunday in a Polaris sponsored Chevy PRO 2WD. Gordon put on a great show- but was unable to catch veteran Scott Taylor who would eventually take first and the Oakley Bomb. Taylor led the entire race, with no driver even challenging his spot. Ricky Johnson passed Johnson for the second podium position and regained his points lead over Todd LeDuc. MacCachren also passed Gordon to round out the podium for Sunday. Gordon would hold onto fourth until an incident thirty feet from the finish line would cause him to spin, and then cross the finish in reverse taking sixth. Fan favorite Jeremy McGrath never finished on Sunday due to an incident at the beginning of the race involving Evan Evans.

Another driver made his first appearance at Crandon this weekend, Brian Deegan. Deegan sat in the fourth position waiting for an opportunity to pass Casey Currie. On the last lap of the race, Currie eventually succumbed to Deegans advances. First and second went to familiar faces, Jeff Kincaid took the win and his eighth Oakley Bomb, while Chad Hord took second, with Deegan third. This was the first podium for Deegan. Kincaid and Hord continue to dominate the PRO Light class, with no one even coming close to passing them.

The next stop on the 2009 TORC race schedule is Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, California. The action will take place over two evenings, October 23rd and 24th, 2009.

The Traxxas TORC Series- The Off Road Championship, presented by AMSOIL is the world's premier short course off road series.

MacCachren VICTORIOUS at Crandon Saturday's Race - Crashed Marred Chairman's CUP Race Dashes Rockstar Energy Racing HOPES Sunday

Crandon, Wisconsin - Rob MacCachren returned to his winning ways at the track he is well known for in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Since returning to owning and racing his own race truck, Rob MacCachren was victorious in just his fifth race. Victory in round five of the 2009 TORC Series secured MacCachren's second position in the series points, but Sunday the #11 Rockstar Energy Racing FORD F150 Pro 2 suffered a flat tire that put the winner to the back of the field. The third race of the weekend on Sunday evening was marred early by a huge wreck that put the #11 Pro 2 out of the race early.

"Returning to victory circle early in the season gives our program an added boost of confidence. This is a new team with veteran guys and although we've experienced some issues early on, this victory demonstrates that we can claim the season championship," said the Las Vegas resident.

"Of course I'm disappointed in the outcome of the Forest County Potawatomi Chairman's Cup race. We had a race truck take us out in the first turn and the result ended up with both of us hooked together so by the time we got untangled the Pro 4X4's were already by us and that basically was the end of our race," explained the dejected Crandon past champion.

However, an eight year absence for one of the winningest PRO racer ever to set foot in the famed dirt of Crandon International Raceway didn't stop him from setting yet another record this on Saturday. Rob MacCachren started his #11 Rockstar Energy Racing Ford F150 from the fifth position in the land rush start and he never looked back.

Some 20,000 people jammed into the festival seating on the Crandon International Raceway banked grass as the gloss black FORD F150 Rockstar Energy Racing truck put on the performance of the weekend as he passed the other Rockstar Energy sponsored Pro 2 of Todd LeDuc.

With three laps to go at the 1.65 mile race course, "MacCrandon," put an inside out move on Rockstar's LeDuc and railed around the outside of the 'Gravel Pit' to take the lead. Rob never looked back enroute to his 10th consecutive victory at Crandon International Raceway.

"We've been working very closely with the BFGoodrich Tire engineers and this tire really hooked up today. It allowed me to

ROCKSTAR'S Rob MacCachren RETURNS TO CRANDON INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY in Search of Another BRUSH Run CUP

June 16, 2009

Crandon, Wisconsin - The last time Rob MacCachren raced at the world famous Crandon International Raceway was 2001. For the last eight years, many of the nation's top racers have churned up the dirt and rocks in search of the magic that MacCachren discovered at this 40 year old race course. To date, no one has established the winning record that MacCachren has over his 8-year span at the legendary raceway.

Crandon International Raceway is often regarded as the "Indianapolis Raceway" of the off road racing world. For the last four decades, the world of off road racing has seen the best of the best arrive to this track in search of "the magic," while many have gone home with nothing but mud and dirt covering every part of their trucks.
Rob MacCachren captured his first CUP victory in the spring of 1995, when the young off road racer took the world of off road by surprise and claimed the first of six CUP victories. To date, the Rockstar Energy Racing driver has won three Brush Run Chairman's CUP victories (1995, 2000, 2001) as well as three Borg-Warner World Championship CUP wins (1999, 2000, 2001) while racing in the elite PRO4WD class at the famed track.

In 1999, MacCachren set the fastest track time in the Borg-Warner Championship time trials with a time of 1:26:12.

MacCachren is the only racer since track records were established in 1970 to hold six total CUP victories, when combining the Brush Run and Borg-Warner Shootout races.

Now a decade later, Rob MacCachren returns to Crandon International Raceway in search of victory, as Crandon International Raceway kicks off a year of celebration, as they prepare for the 40th Anniversary of this legendary track during the fall race.
"Crandon has always been a race track where my team has had great success. It's exciting to return to Crandon after an eightyear absence. I've missed it and we are glad to return with the #11 Rockstar Energy Racing Pro 2WD for a memorable weekend of racing. We've worked hard on the truck and we expect to be a contender all weekend long. This venue is the best in the world and the fans are great. We have posters, shirts and more, so we want all of the Rockstar fans to come into the pits for a autograph," said MacCachren.

This weekend is the third stop in the 2009 TORC season series and will feature Rounds 5 and 6 that kick off the Midwest swing of the season. TORC will bring all the superstars of off-road racing to Crandon International Raceway this season - the 40th anniversary at the track.

"If you like big-time off-road racing - and you like autographs, Crandon is the place to be," said Cliff Flannery, Crandon Track President. "All the young guns of off-road racing, all the well-known superstars will be in town June 20-21," he said. "Bring a lot of pens and markers," he said. "From Ricky to Rhonda, Mason to MacCachren, Frana to Fortin ... you can meet them all."
