This Off-Road Race Finish Is Literally Insane
Read the full story on Backfire News
If you're aren't watching Championship Off-Road racing, you're missing out, as the finish to this race clearly shows. Things got crazy as the first and second place drivers literally battled it out during the last lap.The Champ Off-Road race that took place on June 22 was the Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run. Held at the Crandon International Raceway in Wisconsin, the venue is known as the 'Big House' among off-road racers.
In other words, it's a place where drivers test their mettle and the drive to win is huge. Fans also look forward to the Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run, which has been an annual tradition since the 1970s.
Featuring tight turns, the short course demands plenty of skill from drivers while putting the fans close to all the action. There's an energy there, which surely contributed to this dust-up.
In the lead at the beginning of the final lap was Keegan Kincaid, who was racing in front of his hometown crowd while behind the wheel of the No. 4 Lucas Oil/Maxxis sponsored Ford. But CJ Greaves was hot on his tail, and the man had won the last three Potawatomi Community Cup races, intending to make this his fourth.
While powering through one of the sweeping turns on the course, Greaves got a little sideways, his from passenger tire getting tangled in Kincaid's deformed fender. Try as they did, the two couldn't get untangled for about 20 seconds.
That allowed third-place Kyle Chaney to catch up right as the other two trucks took off again, making it a three-way sprint to the finish. But as the trucks entered Calamity Corner, a 180-degree turn with an infamous past, Greaves fell behind.
Kincaid pulled ahead of Chaney at the last second, then he crashed into the No. 4 truck, climbing onto its rear before he crossed the finish line in third while still mounting his opponent.
What's really great is nobody got out of their truck and started throwing punches. Instead, Kincaid and Chaney stood on their trucks and embraced, then got down and laughed with Greaves about the crazy situation.

Corvette ZR1 Could Smash AMG ONE Nürburgring Record, Claims Engineer
The Nürburgring's Nordschleife is still the golden standard by which performance cars are often judged. Setting a time below 7 minutes is a feat reserved only for the most focused of performance cars, and according to ex-Corvette engineer Jim Mero, the new ZR1 could blast well past that barrier. In fact, he believes the 1,064-horsepower C8 can beat the lap time set by the Mercedes-AMG One, a record for production cars that was reset on September 23, 2024, with the watch stopping at 6:29.09. According to Mero, using some very sketchy car enthusiast math, the ZR1 could probably do a 6:23 lap. Speaking on the HorsePower Obsessed podcast, Mero suggested that, if the gaps between C8 Corvettes are roughly similar to the gaps between C7 Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1 variants, which he helped develop, then that scale should mean that the C8 Z06's time of 7:10.52 (set by Auto Motor und Sport's Christian Gebhardt, it must be noted) would translate to a ZR1 lap time of 6:23. "If I put the C8 Z06 at seven minutes and use a scale factor, I get a 6:23," he said on the show. He added that he's probably going to "get into a lot of trouble for that, but it's speculation with some background." Interestingly, he believes that the AWD, hybridized ZR1X might not set a faster time around the track, citing concerns over how long the electric motor's 186 horsepower would be available during the lap, as well as the question of how any extra weight may impact handling when the battery is depleted. Again, this is pure speculation from somebody who has no hands-on access to the car, and underestimating what the Corvette team has achieved there may be to one's chagrin. According to CorvetteBlogger, the team behind the ZR1 is preparing to set a lap time very soon, but until it's close to achieving its goals, we doubt we'll hear anything about their own official estimates and expectations. The publication says that the Corvette team has booked a session at the track for some time this month, and if that's true, we can expect YouTubers and trackside photographers to have news for us before the official word is out, just as was the case with the Mustang GTD's sessions at the Nordschleife. Ford's 850-hp GTD set a time of 6:52.072, and you can be absolutely positive that the Corvette team will be aiming to smash that by a long distance with its 1,064 ponies and mid-engine layout, among other tricks. As Ford and Multimatic engineers can attest, the toughest foe to overcome at the Green Hell is typically the weather. Thus, any theoretical lap times may still be impossible to achieve without perfect timing, maximum commitment, and a dash of luck. Hopefully, we'll know the truth within a week, but if the ZR1 does beat (or even come close to) the time set by the $3 million AMG One, it won't matter when we find out - it'll still mean something epic for American performance.
