A two-time winner of the Crandon \u201cBrush Run\u201d (Crandon\u2019s 1.25-mile short course race, which\u2019ll be run this weekend), Greaves hopes to re-create his recent top-of-the-box efforts from 2003 and \u201906.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing like coming home to race Crandon,\u201d said Greaves. \u201cThis\u2019ll be a great chance for me to make up some points on Rick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cRick\u201d Greaves speaks of is Monster Energy\u2019s Rick Huseman (Monster\/Toyota). Huseman has dominated the opening California and Texas rounds of the PRO 4&#215;4 class, winning three races in four rounds and leading Greaves by 15 points (99-77). In addition, Huseman is the leading driver the Oakley Bomb Run Award for the fastest lap time of the race.<\/p>\n<p>The Monster Energy-backed racers contesting the Traxxas TORC Truck Series will be in action this weekend at Crandon International Raceway in Crandon, Wis.
