Crandon, WI – August 14, 2025– Off-road racing legend Brian Deegan is set to make a triumphant return to Crandon International Off-Road Raceway this Labor Day weekend, August 29 – September 1, 2025, for the 56th Annual Crandon World Championship Off-Road Races. Deegan, a pioneer in freestyle motocross and multi-time X Games medalist, will compete in the Pro 2 class, backed by powerhouse sponsors Monster Energy, Bilstein Shocks, Hella Lights, and Odyssey Batteries.
Known as “The General,” Deegan has a storied history at Crandon, the “Big House” of short-course off-road racing. With multiple podium finishes and a reputation for high-flying action, his return adds star power to an event that draws over 65,000 fans annually for the world’s largest off-road racing weekend. Deegan’s Pro 2 entry follows his recent successes in the Lucas Oil Midwest Short Course League and aligns with the weekend’s packed schedule, including the Red Bull World Cup on Sunday, September 1, where top Pro 2 and Pro 4 drivers battle for a $100,000 purse.
The Crandon World Championship, held on a 400-acre property in Wisconsin, features over 2,500 competitors across 10 classes, culminating in the prestigious Cup races. Deegan’s participation underscores his enduring influence in motorsports, from his X Games gold medals to founding the Metal Mulisha brand. Deegan stated on the race, “Crandon’s a race you don’t wanna skip, and I always look forward to rolling in to race each year. The fans there are the best crew around—really appreciate them”.
Monster Energy, a long-time supporter of Deegan’s career, leads the sponsorship lineup, joined by Bilstein Shocks for superior suspension performance, Hella Lights for advanced lighting solutions, and Odyssey Batteries for reliable power in extreme conditions.
Fans can catch Deegan in action during practice sessions on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, and the main Pro 2 race on Sunday, leading into the Red Bull World Cup finale. For tickets, schedule details, and live streaming options, visit crandonoffroad.com.
