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 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.
Like we said, if you're not watching Champ Off-Road races, you're missing out.
