Kyle Arkenau Tops Pro SXS Qualifying as CORR Season Resumes at Firebird

Pro SXS title contender Kyle Arkenau threw down the fastest time in qualifying for CORR’s return to Firebird Motorsports Park, turning a 54.200 on Friday afternoon to take the pole. The lap was .303 seconds faster than defending series champion Ryder VanBeekum in second, as drivers look to whittle down Beau Judge’s points lead in Rounds 7 and 8 this weekend.

In fact, VanBeekum qualified second in both top Pro classes, as he ran second to his father Robert in Pro NA as well. Multiple points leaders came out on top of their respective qualifying sessions, including Carson Greco (Pro Am), Jeremy Spears (Pro Production), Johnny Holtger (Pro Lite), and Addie Atteberry (800 Open).

Many classes saw extremely close pole fights that suggest this weekend’s action will be hotly contested. Tanner Wittman’s Pro Am Turbo pole came by just .013 seconds over Michael Burnstein, while Tatum Foerster turned a lap of exactly one minute in Youth Production to beat five-time race winner Kyle Niner by .024 seconds. Austin Dorn only outqualified Chris Leaming in Sportsman by .051 seconds, and Ryder Foerster beat Jaxon Cotter by the exact same margin in Youth Restricted.
