Friday night’s Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road PRO 2WD race at Crandon Speedzone in Crandon, Wisconsin, was the Vanden Heuvel show, as Dan Vanden Heuvel Sr. claimed the win after a battle with his son, Dan Vanden Heuvel Jr. and Kevin Probst (above, center).

Dan Vanden Heuvel Jr, driving Evan Evans’ Chevrolet, took the early holeshot but was eventually passed by Dan Vanden Heuvel Sr for the lead. Kevin Probst worked his way through the field and passed Junior. Probst then quickly caught Senior and the race was on. A flat tire several laps later slowed Probst, allowing Senior to take the win. Probst finished in second, and Junior took his first PRO 2WD podium with a third-place finish.
