In addition to the local news, WXPR Public Radio also likes to find stories that are outside the general news cycle... Listen below to stories about history, people, culture, art, and the environment in the Northwoods that go a little deeper than a traditional news story allows us to do. Here are all of the series we include in this podcast: Curious North, We Live Up Here, A Northwoods Moment in History, Field Notes, and Wildlife Matters.These features are also available as a podcast by searching "WXPR Local Features" wherever you get your podcasts.

Northwoods Native Keegan Kincaid Speeds Through Crandon

It’s a phenomenon that started nearly a decade ago in the backwoods of Northwest Wisconsin that’s evolved into a major stop in the Northwood’s off-road racing calendar. The Crandon International Off-Road Raceway is a short course, off-road race track where thousands of people gather to watch the best racers around the country compete. Crandon’s brush run was last weekend, and WXPR’s Miranda Vander Leest toured the grounds and met up with a familiar Northwoods face.

Keegan Kincaid placed second in Sunday’s PRO 2 race and won first place in the Community Cup.

Last weekend’s race was the first of two races in Crandon. The next brush run is scheduled for Labor Day weekend.
