Yokohama Tire’s Off-Road Team Heads to the "Big House" for Labor Day Weekend Clash
Yokohama drivers will compete on various GEOLANDAR tires at Crandon International Raceway
Yokohama Tire’s off-road team is making a Labor Day weekend pitstop at the “The Big House” in Crandon, Wisconsin. All systems are a go for the Championship Off-Road season event at the 57th running of the Polaris World Championships at Crandon International Raceway, September 4-6.
Yokohama is the Official Tire of Crandon International Raceway – the largest short-course off-road facility in the world. Yokohama is also a Championship Off-Road series supporting partner.
Team Yokohama members such as Andrew Carlson, Ken Roczen and Robb Holland will compete on various rugged GEOLANDAR® off-road tires at the race.
Andrew Carlson, a multiple-time podium finisher at Crandon in recent years, will compete in the Pro4 division on GEOLANDAR X-AT® tires, bringing proven speed and experience to short-course racing’s premier class.
Roczen will return to the Pro2 class at Crandon on GEOLANDAR X-AT tires, marking his debut at the iconic venue after capturing the 2026 Supercross 450 Class Championship earlier this year.
Also making his Crandon debut is Robb Holland, who will compete in the Pro Lite division behind the wheel of fellow Team Yokohama driver, John Holtger’s, truck. Trading asphalt for dirt in his first short-course off-road race, Holland will rely on GEOLANDAR A/T4® tires as he lines up in one of the toughest classes.
Heading into the weekend, Team Yokohama's Nick Visser leads the Pro-Spec championship standings. With only a narrow lead over second-place, the title fight is shaping up to be an intense battle through the closing rounds of the season. Visser will be on GEOLANDAR A/T4 tires.
“We’ve got a great team ready to take on the challenges at Crandon during short-course racing’s most celebrated weekend,” said Candace Cogan, Yokohama’s director of product marketing. “They will be ready to face the task on our versatile line of GEOLANDAR tires.”
Cogan added that Yokohama will have lots of activities off the track as well at Crandon: “We will once again feature our partnership with Bassmaster with a cool collaboration. Last year we hosted Team Yokohama elite angler, Brandon Palanuik. This time we’ll host Wisconsin native MaggieJo Carsello, a Bassmaster open angler and ambassador for BassmastHER, a female-driven initiative to support a community of female anglers via education, travel and inspiration. We look forward to introducing her to Crandon and the world of short-course off-road racing, something she grew up hearing about.”
According to Cogan, Carsello will host a BassmastHER workshop at Crandon for any females in the paddock interested in advancing their skills. She will also help host a VIP and youth fishing tournament on site at the event.
Additionally, Yokohama will lead the Crandon Labor Day Parade with Carlson and Roczen participating.
