Dan Vanden Heuvel
Entering his first race at Crandon
at age 15, Dan Vanden Heuvel
would spend the next 40 years
embedded in the Midwest short-
course culture. His career wins in
SODA, CORR, WSORR, TORC, is
large, but he is mostly known for
his philanthropy and the amount
of time, energy, and resources he
has poured back into the off-road
community.
Vanden Heuvel volunteered with
various sanctioning bodies to build
tracks, drive water trucks, emcee
banquets, direct contingency
programs, and even mow the pits.
During his downtime, he brought
his race vehicles to after-school
"Just Say No" programs, parades,
and community events. Dan
hosted CORR's first organizational
meeting, co-founded the Midwest
Off-Road Racing Association
(MORR), serving as its first
president, and donated his time
and resources to develop the Short
Course Kart Series for local youths.
His race team became a platform
for up-and-coming drivers, and he
and his wife, Nancy, helped MORR
develop its Injured Driver Fund
program.
