Track Facts

Firebird Motorsports Park has been the most frequent host of CORR events, including the entirety of last season’s racing and four 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

The final event of the CORR season means plenty of big storylines coming to fruition with the crowning of this season’s champions in Round 10 on Sunday. Title winners will be honored initially right on the podium after their final race of the season; the official series banquet will be held at a later date.

More than $10,000 is on the line for the biggest winners of the weekend. Longtime series sponsor R-n-R Steel has put up $5,000 apiece for the champions of the Pro SXS and Pro NA classes, which are currently led by Beau Judge (+51 in Pro SXS) and Ryder VanBeekum (+22 in Pro NA). If that wasn’t enough, Johnny Holtger’s dominance of Pro Lite has been so thorough—he comes into the weekend with a 78-point lead—that any driver who can beat him in Sunday’s finale will earn a $3,000 bonus of their own.

Plenty of championship battles are far from settled. In three of the younger classes, the gap between the top title contenders sits at under 15 points:

  • 170 Limited: Greyson Gentry leads Zeppelin Ledbetter by three points, Kaysen Stowell by five, and Stetson Wyman by eight.
  • 170 Production: Gentry leads Krayton O’Connor by three points in a bid to sweep both 170 divisions.
  • Youth Production: Kyle Niner has a 14-point lead over Tatum Foerster.

They’re not the only classes where the leader is still within reach, though. Besides VanBeekum’s 22-point advantage in Pro NA, Paul O’Brien (+20 in SR1), Michael Burnstein (+21 in Pro-Am Turbo), Tim Jones (+26 in Sportsman), and Krew Hart (+28 in Youth Restricted) have solid leads. Each is the clear-cut favorite, but against some talented fields, it’s most likely that they’ll need both race days to button up the title.

Some drivers, meanwhile, have been so dominant all season long that they’re likely to clinch just by taking the green flag. These names include Matt Dyer (+39 in Sportsman Turbo), Addie Atteberry (+43 in 800 Open), Jeremy Spears (+70 in Pro Production), Mikey Childress (+79 in Youth SXS), Carson Greco (+86 in Pro-Am), and Elliott Brooke (+86 in 250 Modified).

Finally, this weekend’s commentary team will see a familiar face return to the world of short course to call the champions home. Ken Stout will join Jim Beaver and Tiffany Stone on the call for this weekend’s races—but instead of handling play-by-play, he’ll put his expertise as a team manager on display as race analyst. Stout managed his son Robert’s championship-winning SXS program in 2019.

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.
