Bruce Fraley: TORC Fall Crandon Report
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 12, 2017 Las Vegas, NV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fraley Holds Serve at Crandon Championship will be Decided at ERX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Crandon World Cup Weekend at "The Big House" in Crandon, Wisconsin saw Bruce Fraley battle tough track conditions as well as the stout 1600 Buggy field of drivers. The end result kept the veteran racer just three points behind the points leader as the TORC Series presented by AMSOIL heads to the final weekend of the season later this month in Elk River, Minnesota. Racing began on Friday afternoon immediately following the traditional downtown Crandon parade. The eight lap race would feature the traditional land rush start while the racing would continue on the one mile long Crandon Stadium short-course layout. The race began with Fraley coming out of Turn One in the middle of the fifteen car pack. The race length of ten laps and each lap taking approximately sixty seconds. Bruce Fraley would have less time than usual to get to the frontrunners. As the laps were counted down, the familiar bright yellow buggy did work his way through the field and reached the runner-up spot when the checkered flag came out. More importantly Fraley gained two points on the Championship points leader Tony Keepers, which left only a one-point gap heading into Saturday's World Championship round of racing. Saturday morning saw a short but intense rain storm sweep through the Crandon area just before the day's race program was about to begin. Somehow the race crew was able to get the race track ready for racing by one o'clock in the afternoon. This meant the 1600 Buggy race would be later in the day and due to time constraints, only eight laps in length. Once again Fraley found himself in the middle of the field heading out of Turn One. Unfortunately, he was involved in some contact that put the Las Vegas driver nearly at the rear of the field. Then add to the fact the track was still somewhat muddy and the sun was beginning to disappear behind the trees, the run to the front would be a tough task at best. Regardless, Bruce pressed on and finished a well-deserved fourth place. At the same time points leader Tony Keepers finished second, which meant Fraley was once again three points behind in the championship standings. "The final three rounds of racing will be in a couple of weeks at ERX and I know Tony will be ready and so will I,' commented Bruce Fraley. "It will be a very interesting and entertaining weekend as the championship will probably come down to the final lap of the season. To get to this point in the season I couldn't have done it without the support of my wife and family, Larry and Gloria Hammond. Along with great support at the track from Shawn Morris and all my other sponsors EPI Powder Coating, Howe Performance, FAT Performance, Dave Folts Transmissions, Freeman Carpet Service, Kartek Off-Road and BFGoodrich Tires." The final three rounds of racing in the TORC Series presented by AMSOIL is September 22-24 in Elk River, Minnesota.
