TORC: The Off Road Championship
TORC: The Off Road Championship (TORC) is an American national short course off-road racing series. It tours throughout the United States featuring professional four and two-wheel-drive Trophy Trucks along with a Pro Light class. TORC was founded by off-road racing driver Ricky Johnson in 2009. It was known as the Traxxas TORC Series, owing to title sponsor Traxxas, from 2009 - 2013. It was purchased by The Armory in August 2013. It has been sanctioned and officiated by the United States Auto Club (USAC) since its inception.
A multi-year deal between TORC and NBC Sports was announced in 2014 where it was confirmed that NBC would carry not only the series' on-track events but its docu-reality series as well. However, the series returned to Fox Sports in 2015.
==History==
The series was founded in time for the 2009 season by former motocross racer and Motorcycle Hall of Fame member Ricky Johnson as the Traxxas TORC Series〔 after hosting an off-road racing event at his Perris Auto Speedway in 2008. There were two large sanctioning bodies in short course off-road racing for 2008: CORR and WSORR.〔 CORR had been sanctioning events on the West Coast and WSORR had sanctioned Midwest events.〔 CORR closed before the end of the 2008 season and canceled its final two racing weekends.〔 TORC took over the sanctioning of most of the Midwest events.〔
USAC assumed complete management of the series starting in 2010.〔 The Armory took over ownership of the series in late 2013 to handle all marketing and operations of the series.〔〔http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/8/prweb11076082.htm〕 USAC remained on board as the sanctioning body. One of The Armory's first acts was securing an exclusive 5-year agreement landing the series championship weekend at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway starting in 2014, ensuring no competing sanctions can race at the track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://torcseries.com/crandon-to-remain-exclusive-home-to-the-torc-series/ )〕 In late 2015, Mountain Sports International took over managing the series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.torcseries.com/new-schedule-and-management-announced-for-2016-torc/ )〕 MSI immediately announced adding sportsman racing back under its sanction starting in 2016.〔
