Professional off-road racer Gray Leadbetter had her most consistent weekend of the 2025 Championship Off-Road season in the Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run at Crandon International Raceway. In the third event of her rookie Pro Lite season, Leadbetter wheeled the #28 On Track School/Yokohama/Pepper Palace/Ryan Beat Motorsports truck to a pair of fifth place finishes.

On an exceptionally hot race weekend in Wisconsin, Leadbetter withstood the pressure from both the climate and her competition. The back-to-back top five finishes were her third and fourth in six rounds so far this season, firmly establishing her within the top five in Pro Lite points. She leads all Pro Lite drivers competing in the class for the first time this season, showcasing her ability to adapt quickly to any type of vehicle after returning from a stint in Pro SXS last year.

“I’m happy overall with how the weekend turned out in Crandon,” said Leadbetter. “We managed to keep it close to the leaders across the line on both days, and just finishing both races is a huge confidence boost as we look to find some consistency. I know I can still find more speed, but I’m learning more with every race. Thanks to the guys at RBM and all of our sponsors for their support. Our first podium of the season is coming!”
