Crandon, Wisconsin (June 27, 2004)--The Crandon International Off Road Raceway celebrated 35 years of off-road racing during the Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run. As is the custom for the celebrated facility, the racing was fast, with Johnny Greaves and Scott Taylor continuing their success at the track.

Carl Renezeder, the defending BorgWarner Manufacturer's Challenge Shootout champion, can now put the Forest County Potawatomi Governor's Cup Trophy along side his BorgWarner Trophy. The Governor's Cup Challenge is a 10-lap shootout with the Pro-4, Pro-2 and Sportsman 2 trucks battling each other at the same time. Renezeder, competing in his 4-wheel drive truck, held off Curt LeDuc (second-place) and Scott Douglas (third-place) for the coveted trophy.

Johnny Greaves' Forest County Potawatomi Toyota Pro-4 led every lap in Rounds 4 and 5, moving him from 7th place in the Pro-4 standings to 4th with 68 points. Jason Baldwin had a third straight second-place finish in Round 4, and a 4th place finish in Round 5, giving him the overall lead in the division. In five starts, Baldwin has five top-four finishes, including three second-place finishes.

Carl Renezeder's Lucas Oil Chevrolet Pro-4 placed 4th in Round 4 and 2nd in Round 5, moving him into second with 72 points. Coming off two straight wins in Rounds 2 and 3 in Antigo, Scott Douglas' RANCHO Ford finished 3rd in Round 5, following a 9th place finish in Round 4. Douglas is in third place after the first five rounds of the season with 70 points, only four behind Baldwin. Ten points separate Jason Baldwin with Curt LeDuc, the fifth place driver.

Attempting to win an extraordinary sixth consecutive Pro-2 championship, Scott Taylor has opened the 2004 season with 3 wins and two second-place finishes in five starts. In Rounds 4 and 5, Taylor had to chase down Evan Evans' Forest County Potawatomi Chevrolet to take the lead.

In the Pro-Lite division, Rick Huseman and Jeff Kincaid won for the first time in 2004. Huseman's Fabtech Ford earned his first win of the season by holding off Steve Federico and Chad Hord in the final laps of Round 4. Although the Crandon track has not been kind to Huseman in the past, he took the lead from the land rush start. Kincaid's Forest County Potawatomi Toyota took the lead away from Huseman on the third lap, but mechanical troubles forced Kincaid to pull off the track with six laps remaining. Steven Federico finished 2nd, the best finish of the season for his Invisible Glass/P.F. Changs Toyota.

Kincaid's bad luck came to an abrupt halt in Round 5, where he won for the first time in 2004. From start to finish, Kincaid dominated the race. Chad Hord's BOSS Snowplow Nissan Frontier challenged Kincaid for the lead, but ran out of laps. Federico finished 3rd, and Rick Huseman 4th.

In the Pro-Lite standings, the gap is narrowing for the top-five drivers. Currently, Hord has the lead over Kyle LeDuc, 67-65. Huseman moved into 3rd with 62 points, with Mark Krueger in 4th place with 55 points. Art Schmitt's Nissan Frontier and Federico's Toyota are tied for 5th in the standings (54 points).

In the Sportsman 2 division, defending champion Dan Baudoux swept Rounds 4 and 5 to take an 87-69 lead over Mike Oberg. Baudoux is on a three-race winning streak, dating back to Round 3 in Antigo. In his Sportsman 2 career, Baudoux now has 19 career wins in 72 starts. With two more wins, Baudoux will become the all-time leader in Sportsman 2 wins.

Mark Kleiman broke a three way tie with Keith Steele and Rhonda Konitzer in the Stock division with his second win of the season in Round 5. Kleiman had a second-place finish in Round 4. Dave Waldvogel picked up his second career win in Round 4, where he held off Kleiman. Steele finished third in Round 4 and second in Round 5. Kleiman's lead over Steele is 79-73.
