Redemption for Carr, Dramatic Finishes Highlight CORR Sunday Action at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Double or nothing was the theme of the day at Firebird Motorsports Park on Sunday, as Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) wrapped up its first of five doubleheaders on the 2025-26 campaign. Some racers managed to sweep their classes, and others would end the day wondering what might have been.

Nowhere was the drama more apparent than the headlining Pro SXS and Pro NA classes. In Pro NA, Saturday winner Ryder VanBeekum came within a single corner of sweeping the weekend, leading Saturday’s Pro SXS winner Ryder Chapman in a clean fight to the finish. Instead, a brutally timed equipment failure would knock VanBeekum from first to fifth as he limped towards the line.

Chapman himself wasn’t immune from the curse, either. After a hotly contested battle with Chase Carr for yesterday’s Pro SXS win, Chapman found himself leading Carr once again late in the race. But he rolled in Turn 3, and despite putting the throttle down to try and recover, a broken rear suspension left him with three wheels and unable to continue, allowing Carr to move up a spot from yesterday.

Carr was just one of many racers to do one spot better from their Saturday second places. The phenomenon started early in both 170 classes, with Banks Bawden (Production) and Stetson Wyman (Limited) the first to pull it off. It continued in 800 Open with Addie Atteberry and Youth SXS with Kash Hart, and Carr was the first of three drivers to do it in a row in the adult classes, just before Brandon Kilgore (SR1) and Tobias Chevalier (Pro Lite). Behind Chevalier, Saturday winner Michael Funk and Nick Brandon had one of the closest finishes of the day battling for second, with Funk getting the edge because he landed the final jump first and was able to put the power down a little earlier.

Repeat winners from Saturday included Brody Kline, Kyle Niner, brothers Carson and Ryder Greco in their respective classes, Chace Quick, Matt Dyer, and Mia Chapman and Steve Hoffman in the Pro Production/Pro Am Turbo multi-class race. On Saturday, Hoffman got the jump on Chapman during the restart after the competition caution to win the overall; on Sunday, Chapman held the lead off the restart, and using the second place Pro Production car of Jeremy Spears as a buffer, built a gap to keep the overall lead across the line.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 2 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:

CORR Opens 2025-26 Season With 17 Winners in 17 Classes

Posted on | by Marketing Director

17 classes. 17 winners.

If you’re looking for excitement and a lot of different faces on top of the podium, you needn’t have looked any further than Firebird Motorsports Park on Saturday. The Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season kicked off with a bang, and despite some of short course off-road racing’s most talented drivers pulling double duty (or more), none could stand atop the box twice in the opener.

CORR’s fourth season was already poised to be its biggest yet thanks to an influx of new partners and classes, the addition of new race dates at Glen Helen Raceway and SBC Fairgrounds, a new TV and live streaming package on the RACER Network and RACER+, and top drivers heading west to do battle. The size of the entry list only backed that up, as the opener set a new CORR record with 116 unique drivers.

Firebird, for its part, established why it’s been CORR’s most frequently visited venue over the years with racers of all ages putting on some thrilling racing. A photo finish for third place in 170 Limited saw Cooper Hogenes holding off Brooks Hopkins at the line by just .03 seconds, while Pro Am Turbo winner Steve Hoffman and Pro Production class winner Mia Chapman would put up an incredible fight for first overall in the first multi-class race of the day.

It all built up to the feature Pro SXS race, with polesitter Beau Judge and Ryder Chapman doing heavy battle after they came to the green and Chapman briefly falling from first to fourth despite nearly making a pass for the lead on the outside. Robert VanBeekum would be next to challenge Judge, but he’d take contact from Chase Carr shortly after and fall out of contention.

Chapman would push hard to get back in the running, soaring past Carr to get back to second before the caution flew. On the restart, he’d get to Judge’s inside on Turn 2, make the pass stick on the outside of Turn 3, and pave the way for Carr to take second. On the final lap, Chapman would make a mistake that gave the top spot to Carr for a few hundred feet, but he’d push his way back into first in one of the most exciting races of the day.

While nobody could take two victories on Saturday, two drivers would stand on the podium more than once: Hogenes backed up his 170 Limited podium with another third place in Youth Restricted, and Mikey Childress backed up his Youth SXS victory with second place in Pro Am. In addition, multiple sibling pairs would take home hardware—led by the Chapmans’ two victories—and even a father-daughter duo (Daniel and Chloe Hurn) would take a pair of third place finishes in their respective classes.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 1 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:

The action continues at 7:45AM on Sunday morning with another full slate of races for every class. Live streaming will once again be available on RACER+ and CORR social media channels.

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Qualifying for the first event of the 2025-26 Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season at Firebird Motorsports Park is in the books, with more than 15 unique classes each doing battle at the storied Arizona venue on Friday.

Track Facts

Firebird Motorsports Park has been the most frequent host of CORR events, including the entirety of last season’s racing and three of this season’s events. The Arizona venue has undergone multiple reconfigurations since it was first built in 2008, with its current layout matching a high-flying frontstretch with a series of tight hairpins.

Racer Spotlight

UTV racing remains the heart of CORR’s race program, and top stars from last season will be back to defend their honors. The father-son duo of Robert and Ryder VanBeekum are registered for both Pro SXS and Pro NA, with Ryder aiming to defend last year’s Pro SXS crown.

TJ Siewers will look to defend his Pro NA title against the VanBeekums and Brian Willett, who moves up after winning last year’s Youth NA Open title. Willett will also compete in Pro Production against names like Mia Chapman, who makes her return to short course racing, and Jason Weller.

Youth classes are a crucial part of CORR as the proving ground for the sport’s future stars. That starts at the 170 Production level, where 20 of the sport’s youngest racers will get their first taste of short course racing. Youth Restricted will feature multiple standouts from last season facing off, with 170 Expert champion Ryder Foerster and 800 Modified champion Addie Atteberry taking on names like Ryder Greco and Krew Hart, who finished second and third in last season’s class standings.

Other stars set to compete this weekend include Corry Weller, who will look to add to her incredible off-road resume in the SR1 class, and Michael Funk, who will fill in for midwest Pro Lite champion Johnny Holtger in the same class.
