Radar-Tires-Logo-4-3-14Traverse City, Mich., Aug. 27, 2014 – Radar Tires teams have two attempts at podium finishes this weekend as the TORC: The Off Road Championship heads into its final race of the 2014 season. Armed with the right combination of skill and luck, Radar Tires PRO Light teams have one goal in mind – get the Keys to the Big House at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway, in Wisconsin.

The Radar Tires drivers have come close to the podium with several top-five finishes this season. Now with the final races looming, Luke Johnson, Cam Reimers and Ian Harris are still seeking 2014 TORC season glory. Although out of contention for the championship, the Radar Tires racers want to win at Crandon and finish the season in the top-10; Reimers is seventh and Johnson is ninth in PRO Light standings.

Radar Tires continues to use the LT265/75R16 and 32X11.50R15 Renegade R5 tires for this two-day event. The tires will be used by Johnson in the No. 14 Project648 Motorsports truck, and Cam Reimers Motorsports co-drivers Reimers and Harris, in the No. 21 and No. 22 SSi Decals trucks, all in the PRO Light class.

During the June event at Crandon, the Radar Tires drivers earned four top-10 finishes in the two races with a best weekend finish of fifth for Johnson on Saturday.  Reimers suffered from a qualifying incident that damaged his truck forcing him withdraw from the Sunday race.

Those top-10 finishes were well received by the drivers at that time, but now they want more. Radar Tires racers have had strong runs at Crandon, Johnson finished second in 2013, and earned two top-10 finishes in June. Reimers has two sixth-place finishes at Crandon from previous seasons. Rookie Harris earned his season-best finish and first top-10 of the season back in June.

“The 2014 TORC season has really raced by; seems like we just recently opened at Primm!” said Gary Blalock, Radar Tires Motorsports Manager. “Crandon is a fitting track to finish the season. The ‘Big House’ always lives up to its reputation with its long layout, tricky high speed corners, land rush start, and of course the BIG crowd. It is gratifying to race in front of such a knowledgeable and appreciative audience. I’ve been watching the extended weather forecast and Mother Nature may mix things up with a bit of rain this weekend. Rain or shine, our teams and the Radar Renegade R5 tires are ready to take on the competitors and elements alike.”

Nearly 80 miles from Green Bay, Wis., Crandon International Off-Road Raceway is a natural terrain short-course dirt venue. A challenging one-mile, six-turn course, Crandon is known for its land rush starts, fast straightaways and jumps that exceed 150 feet.

The Radar Tires racers will practice, qualify and race at the two-day Keys to the Big House event. Fans unable to attend the race at can tune into the Motor Trend YouTube channel for a live broadcast. The race can then be seen on NBC Sports at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sept 6.
