Toyo Tires Drivers Earn Two Wins at Bark River International Raceway in Championship Off-Road
BARK RIVER, MICHIGAN – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp (Toyo Tires®) tallied two wins in round 11 of the 2026 Championship Off-Road (COR) racing season at Bark River International Raceway. Bark River is known for its high-speed racing and massive jumps, making for a thrilling and competitive race weekend. Team Toyo drivers Johnny Greaves in Pro-4 and Ryan Beat in Pro-2 battled on track and took overall victories in their respective classes on Saturday.
Greaves and his #22 Monster Energy / Toyota / Toyo Tires Pro-4 truck trusted off-the-shelf 35x12.50R17 Toyo Open Country® R/T Trail tires to record his second race win of the season. He took the checkered flag, finishing just eight-tenths of a second ahead of his competitors to secure the top of the podium.
Ryan Beat delivered Team Toyo’s second win of the weekend in his #51 Bilstein / Toyo Tires / Rockstar Energy / Chevrolet truck. Equipped with off-the-shelf 35x12.50R17 Open Country® C/T tires, Beat took over the race lead on the opening lap and never looked back. He built a significant gap to his other Pro-2 competitors throughout the race and secured the victory.
In addition to the two rounds of racing over the weekend, the Richard Ault Legacy Long Jump competition was held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Bark River International Raceway. Team Toyo driver, CJ Greaves, competed in the long jump and set a record distance of 210-feet on Open Country® R/T Trail tires.
“It felt good to get back on a track that suits my style of racing,” said Johnny Greaves.
“Those Toyo tires love Michigan dirt!”
“I am super stoked to capture another win this season here at Bark River, we have been putting in the work, and it shows,” said Ryan Beat. “I want to thank everyone at Toyo for their hard work and extra hours they’ve been putting in to get me the best tire at the track.”
“Securing two more race wins in the COR season is a great result for Team Toyo and our drivers, Johnny Greaves and Ryan Beat,” said Adrian Puente, events, motorsports and technical manager, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “Bark River is always one of the most anticipated race weekends of the season, and our drivers battled hard to secure these wins.
