Costa Mesa, Calif. (July 2, 2025)  – Bonnier LLC, producer of premier national hunting and motorsports consumer events, is announcing new partnerships aimed at elevating two of its flagship fall shows. Leading the way is a high-impact collaboration with TERRA Crew—the gatekeepers of the off-road underground—to deliver daily “Built To Destroy Live” performances at Off-Road Expo, the nation’s top off-road truck event, taking place October 4-5 at the OC Fair & Event Center.

“Strengthening our partnership with TERRA Crew is a game-changer for Off-Road Expo,” said Tracy Feinsilver, Senior Vice President of Bonnier’s Motorsports & Outdoor Group. “Their energy, authenticity and unmatched connection with the off-road community will bring ORE back to its roots.”

Also returning in 2025, long-time partner General Tire has renewed its role as presenting sponsor of Off-Road Expo—strengthening a trusted alliance between one of the industry’s top tire manufacturers and the premier destination for off-road enthusiasts.

“We at General Tire are proud to return as the longtime presenting sponsor of the Off-Road Expo,” said Adam Keiser, Sr. Communications & Content Specialist, Continental Tire the Americas, LLC. “This event has always been a premier destination for off-road enthusiasts, and we’re especially excited about its move to Orange County this year. The new location opens the door to a fresh audience, and we look forward to connecting with both longtime fans and first-time attendees who share our passion for the off-road lifestyle.”

The Off-Road Expo presented by General Tire is the definitive annual gathering for off-road fans and industry leaders—featuring the biggest names in trucks, SUVs, UTVs, and high-performance gear. Now in its 25th year, Off-Road Expo continues to be a must-attend event for brands, builders, and enthusiasts alike. The 2025 edition, set for October 4-5 at the OC Fair & Event Center, promises to deliver the largest and most exciting show yet.

Also announced this week, Hammerking Productions—creators of the world-famous King of The Hammers and the Ultra4 Racing Series—will once again bring their adrenaline-fueled energy to the DRT Motorsports Sand Sports Super Show, returning September 19-21, 2025, in Costa Mesa, California.

Hammerking will produce an all-new Proving Grounds experience, delivering high-octane action as pro drivers put purpose-built race machines through their paces in front of a live audience. From raw horsepower to unmatched technical skill, the Proving Grounds promises edge-of-your-seat excitement for off-road fans of all stripes.

Whether you’re a seasoned desert racing devotee or a first-time showgoer, the 2025 Sand Sports Super Show is the place to see the latest in sand cars, UTVs, parts, accessories, gear, and innovation. The event attracts top-tier brands, influencers, and industry insiders, with exclusive product launches, live demos, show-only specials, celebrity meet-and-greets, and giveaways throughout the weekend.

  • Off-Road Expo shifts into high gear with a new home in Orange County
  • Bigger, bolder and better—expanding the ultimate off-road truck experience
  • Bonnier supercharges growth plans for all event franchises

February 20, 2025 –  Bonnier LLC, operator of several national hunting and automotive consumer event properties, is making bold moves to elevate its event franchises in 2025. At the forefront of this transformation is the relocation of the nation’s premier off-road truck showcase, the Off-Road Expo. Moving from its longtime home in Pomona, Calif., the event is launching an exciting new chapter at the Orange County Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa—promising a larger footprint with exciting new features for off-road enthusiasts.

“We’re not just relocating. We are reigniting ORE as an iconic brand,” said Tracy Feinsilver, the group’s Senior Vice President. “The OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa provides the perfect space for growth, enabling us to introduce new features and experiences that weren’t possible in the past. This will give us the chance to showcase what truly sets ORE apart in the truck community. Our goal is to continue evolving, engaging with clients, and offering unparalleled experiences in 2025 and for years to come.”

In its new venue, the ORE will introduce a major expansion in its layout and structure, designed to maximize attendee flow and increase engagement. The newly optimized layout will also accommodate new features and activations, bringing exciting opportunities for both exhibitors and attendees.

“The new venue will open up endless possibilities for growth and innovation, allowing ORE to build on its reputation as a premier event destination,” Feinsilver said. “This is a huge moment for the off-road truck and SUV community, and we’re thrilled to offer this exciting new chapter to our loyal exhibitors and attendees.”

Collectively, Bonnier’s Moto & Outdoor Group reaches more than a million hunting and offroad enthusiasts annually through its on-site events and digital properties. In addition to the venue change for ORE, the group has aggressive growth plans across all of its core franchises:

Open Season Sportsman’s Expo
In 2025, Bonnier’s primary hunting franchise, the Open Season Sportsman’s Expo, will operate its 31st annual event in Columbus, Ohio and 39th annual event in Wisconsin Dells, Wis., as the company evaluates additional locations for expansion in 2026.

Street Machine Nationals
Car show enthusiasts know the Street Machine Nationals franchise as a cornerstone event with a strong legacy dating back to its launch in 1977. In 2025, Bonnier will operate events in Du Quoin, Ill. and St. Paul, Minn. Expansion is the target for this franchise, with more than a dozen locations already under consideration for the new year. 

Sand Sports Super Show
Bonnier’s flagship event, the Sand Sports Super Show will once again attract thousands of side-by-side offroad vehicles and enthusiasts to Costa Mesa, Calif., with sights set on making this year’s show the largest ever.
