ABOUT THE 2026 iRACING CRANDON CHAMPIONSHIP
The Crandon Pro 4 Championship is held annually on Labor Day weekend at Crandon International Raceway. Independently sanctioned and with no points on the line, it attracts the best off-road racers from various series across the United States.
This race will be scheduled in the sim for September 6th on the Noon preset. This event utilizes iRacing Super Sessions, and the Saturday Super Sessions will take the top 20 in overall points from the race week.
This event also uses a Heat racing variant to sent the lineups. That is preceded by a seven-minute qualifying to set the Heat, then a 6-lap Heat race where the order will determine the starting grid for the Feature race. The Feature is 10 laps in length. Both the Heat race and the Feature race will have Land Rush starting procedures, where the field lines up in up to two rows of 10 trucks off of the regular race track, funneling into the racing surface on the backstretch of the venue.
This event is open to iRacing members that have an Dirt Road license at Class C or higher, or at Class D with a 4.0 Safety Rating. Super Session Qualifier Splits will be determined by iRating. Splits can have up to 20 drivers, and a disqualification limit has been set at 17 incident points, or 17X.
ABOUT SUPER SESSIONS
ABOUT CRANDON
Ever since 1970, the town of Crandon, Wisconsin has been home to the World Championship Off-Road Races, short course off-road racing’s premier event, every Labor Day weekend. After first running on a course of more than 25 miles, Crandon International Raceway was soon built, and ever since has served as short course’s answer to tracks like Daytona and Indianapolis.
With a 1.5-mile full layout and 1.25-mile shorter layout, Crandon’s elevation changes, high-flying jumps, and final hairpin corner have produced more than their fair share of dramatic finishes over the years. From Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Famers like Walker Evans and Rob MacCachren, to legendary off-road dynasties like the Greaves, LeDuc, and Crandon’s own Flannery families, only the best of the best have secured World Cup wins at Crandon.
