CR Towing & Recovery

Last week we had an interesting request for a recovery. A downed aircraft in a field south of Wisconsin Dells. This wasn't the first airplane we've transported, but it is the first we've recovered from a field! We couldn't have done it without the help of a few locals!

Thank you Proper Aviation Maintenance for trusting us to get the job done!

🏁 What an incredible night at Fairbury Speedway!

On behalf of everyone at CR Towing & Recovery, we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to every fan, driver, crew member, sponsor, volunteer, and the entire staff at Fairbury Speedway for making the 3rd Annual Richard Craven Memorial one to remember.

As the proud title sponsor of this event, it's an honor to support an evening that celebrates grassroots racing while giving back to the community that has supported our family and our business for generations.

Congratulations to all of the night's winners, and thank you to every racer who came out to compete. The level of competition was outstanding, and seeing so many local racers rewarded with increased purses made the night even more special.

A special thank you goes to Matt Curl, the Fairbury Speedway staff, and FloRacing for helping showcase one of the premier weekly racing events in the Midwest.

Most importantly, thank you to The Richard Craven Foundation and every sponsor who made this event possible. Together, we honored Richard's legacy the best way we know how—by supporting local racing and continuing to help families in need.

At CR Towing & Recovery, we've always believed in giving back to the communities that have supported us since 1928. Being part of an event like this is more than a sponsorship—it's a reflection of the values our company was built on.

We'll see you all next year.
