Crandon International Raceway has expanded its June race weekend into a full-blown festival. On Wednesday, the track announced the creation of the Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run Speed Festival, where the usual Championship Off-Road weekend will be joined by RallyX Americas and other new events.
The weekend will run on June 20–21.
“The reimagining of our Brush Run weekend has taken more than three years of careful planning to make sure Crandon International lives up our reputation of creating and hosting the best off-road events in the world for our fans and racers, both old and new,” track president Jason Flannery stated. “We can’t imagine a better kickoff to summer than what we are planning here for the Brush Run Speed Festival. A large thank you also goes out to our long time partners at the Forest County Potawatomi Community for their enthusiastic support.”
The Brush Run is set to be the third round of the 2026 Championship Off-Road calendar. After the usual points-paying races will be the Pro 2 vs. Pro 4 event to cap off the weekend.
RallyX Americas will begin its 2026 season with one race on each day across three categories. It is the latest attempt to create a rallycross series in the United States; despite the discipline’s popularity, rallycross has consistently struggled to have a predominant American sanctioning body.
The series was founded by Andreas Eriksson, a longtime rallycross car builder, and previously did a demo at the 2025 Crandon World Cup. The premier class FC1 uses the FC1-X car previously built for Nitrocross, while the series also has FC2 for traditional Supercars and FC5 for Cross Cars.
Other festivities include the new Crandon Vintage Revival & Reunion and Thunder Valley UTV Rally.
The Vintage Revival will have a classic car show, a barn dance and live music, and allow old-school short course vehicles to turn laps around the track. On the opposite end of the timeline, the Thunder Valley UTV Rally celebrates the newfangled off-road machinery with on-site camping, demos and trail rides, a fishing tournament, and also UTV laps around Crandon.
