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

In the opening doubleheader, none of the drivers in Pro SXS or Pro NA could establish themselves as the definitive championship favorite; both classes are separated by six points or less in the top three. However, Ryder Chapman was able to take a win in both classes, putting him first in Pro NA by three over Ryder VanBeekum and tying him for second in Pro SXS with Beau Judge, five points back of Chase Carr.

Not so in Pro Production and Pro Am Turbo, which run together as a multi-class race. Mia Chapman and Steve Hoffman, respectively, swept the opener in their respective classes and take double-digit points leads into this weekend. The bigger question is who will be the first across the line, as they split that honor in October.

Brothers Carson and Ryder Greco made it a family affair on top of the box in October, with Carson sweeping both Pro Am races and Ryder doing the same in Youth Restricted. They have two of the largest points leads in the series coming into the weekend, with Carson 11 points ahead of Mikey Childress and Ryder up by 12 over Krew Hart.

Pulling double duty, Childress is in a heated battle with Kash Hart for top honors in Youth SXS. Childress drew first blood in the opening round in October, while Hart backed up his second-place finish in that race by beating Childress in the second race.

The largest points lead in the series belongs to 170 Production driver Banks Bawden. As one of the largest classes in CORR, a double podium on any weekend means a huge points haul; thanks to finishes of second and first in October, Bawden takes a 17-point advantage over Krayton O’Connor into this weekend.

Finally, Johnny Holtger makes his season debut behind the wheel in Pro Lite after Michael Funk filled in for him at the first event. Holtger has been the Pro Lite driver to beat in the Midwest in recent years, and Funk took a win and second place in the opening event as his substitute to allow him to enter the weekend tied for the points lead with Tobias Chevalier.

All CORR races will feature television coverage on the RACER Network, as well as free live streaming on multiple platforms. Click here for the full CORR schedule.
