CRANDON, WI – This weekend marks the final event of the TORC 2014 Series Championship. The “Keys to the Big House” event in Crandon, WI will draw more than 45,000 spectators in short course off-road racing’s largest event of the year. Luyendyk Jr. will continue his run for Rookie of the Year honors in the Pro-2 division, entering the final event 8th in points.

The GUNK Pro-2, powered by a 420 cubic inch 900 HP Ford engine, will be put to the test on the largest track of the 14-race TORC calendar. Highlights of this season include a podium in Charlotte, where Arie bounced back from injury to capture a 3rd place finish.

“I’m thrilled to be heading to Crandon to close out the TORC Series Championship,” said Luyendyk Jr., “I’m excited to try a number of improvements to the GUNK Pro-2 that have been in development since Sturgis.  We are coming into the event with our eyes set on the podium. I’m so thankful to all the partners that have made this season possible. GUNK has shown incredible support along with Cooper Tires, Genius Tools, Relief OTC, Mi-Jack Products, RE7 and King Shocks. Matt Barton, my chief mechanic, has been working tirelessly all year after a string of bad luck. I want to thank him for showing a never quit attitude. All that hard work is behind us now. I can’t wait until that famous land rush start!”
