Track Facts

San Bernardino’s Glen Helen Raceway is known in the motocross and short course off-road communities alike as one of the sport’s preeminent facilities. The short course circuit puts thrilling finishes right in front of the fans on its long front stretch, while a mix of tight and flowing corners and jumps keep drivers honest in their pursuit of the checkered flag.

Racer Spotlight

Short course off-road racing in Southern California has developed a flavor all its own over the years, and CORR’s debut at Glen Helen will mark a passing of the torch for it in more ways than one. Fans who grew up watching names like Renezeder, Brooks, and Currie will see those names on track once again—except instead of Carl, Jerett, and Casey, it’ll be their kids taking the green flag as part of the next generation of stars. (Of course, their dads will still be with us to cheer them on.)

Ryder VanBeekum knows a thing or two about taking the torch, particularly at Glen Helen. Now competing against his dad, Robert, in multiple classes, Ryder has celebrated some of the biggest triumphs of his short course career at this track. This weekend, he’ll be coming in with a single-point advantage in Pro NA over his close friend Ryder Chapman, although Trent Ouellette sits within striking distance in third. The trio have split all four class wins so far this season.

The premier Pro SXS class swells to more than 20 projected entries, which means that the best chance for anyone to catch points leader Beau Judge might be in Glen Helen. He’s got 18 points in hand over Bryan McCormick, but the spread from second place to fifth is just seven points. Even more dominant are Kyle Niner in Youth Production and Ryder Greco in Youth Restricted, as both went four for four on wins in the opening rounds at Firebird before the start of the new year.

Meanwhile, the Pro Lite field continues to get even stronger with the CORR debut of Brent Smith, who trades in his microphone for a helmet as he slots into points leader Johnny Holtger’s second truck. Michael Funk will instead slide into his familiar truck from the midwest as the trucks boast their largest field since joining the series.

CORR Moves 2025-26 Season Finale at Firebird to April 17-19

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) has announced a shift in the final doubleheader event of its 2025-26 season, which will now be held at Firebird Motorsports Park on April 17-19, 2026. The shift allows CORR to avoid scheduling conflicts in the off-road industry while also producing a better racing experience for its competitors and fans.

Shifting the season finale up two weeks allows for CORR teams to race under more favorable conditions, as average temperatures are up to 10 degrees lower in the area in April than at the beginning of May. The more compressed schedule also gives teams more time to re-prep their vehicles for summer events, as well as avoiding conflicts with other major events across America. Such a decision is not taken lightly, and was made with careful consideration of the interests of all parties.

CORR’s first two doubleheader events of the season came at Firebird in October and December, drawing some of the sport’s biggest stars to the Arizona track and producing four exciting live streams and subsequent highlight shows on the RACER Network. The return of the series to Firebird for the April finale will produce more of the same exciting action thanks to the opportunity for more racers and teams to compete.

The 2025-26 CORR campaign continues on February 13-15 at Glen Helen Raceway. Racer registration is open now, while tickets for Rounds 5 and 6 can be purchased at the gate on race weekend. Combined Saturday and Sunday admission is $20, while a weekend pass covering all three days is $30 and a Sunday-only ticket is $10. In addition, spectator camping is available for $20 per night. The series will also visit SBC Fairgrounds on March 27-29 before returning to Firebird for the season finale in April.

CORR thanks its racers, teams, partners, and fans for its support and looks forward to the exciting conclusion of the season.

Clean Sweeps for Top Pros, Youth Racers Highlight CORR Round 4 at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

The 2025 portion of Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR)’s 2025-26 season is officially in the books after Sunday’s action at Firebird Motorsports Park, and Round 4 of the campaign produced some of the most exciting racing of the season so far. When all was said and done, Koen Crawford (Pro SXS) and John Holtger (Pro Lite) headlined a long list of winners who managed to sweep the weekend—10 in all.

Crawford’s sweep is just the latest in a long list of wild moments that have made Pro SXS anyone’s championship to win. Not only did the sprint car convert come out to Firebird as a one-off and win both races, but the field also saw issues for Saturday podium finishers and title contenders Beau Judge (flat tire) and Jason Weller (rollover). As a result, Kyle Arkenau and Bryan McCormick earned their first podium finishes of the season.

“This is definitely a surprise,” said Crawford. “I came out here just to have some fun and hopefully run mid-pack with these guys, but ended up not too bad, so I’ll take it!”

Holtger now boasts a comfortable lead in Pro Lite thanks Michael Funk’s fill-in efforts in October. Funk finished first and second in that event, and he’s been rewarded for his efforts with a second truck as teammate to Holtger; this weekend, he finished second on both days.

Pro NA didn’t produce a repeat winner on the weekend, but it did see its first two-time winner on the season after Ryder Chapman held off Ryder VanBeekum in a thrilling battle in the closing laps. The close friends and R-N-R Steel Racing teammates kept it clean to the finish, crossing the line just .173 seconds apart. As a result, VanBeekum now leads Chapman by a single point, 157-156, in the standings.

“That was a fun race,” Chapman said. “Towards the end, I really had to lock in, because he was right there the whole time. It was really fun being able to race hard and clean the whole time. I loved being door to door, and the adrenaline of it was just amazing.”

In a remarkable feat for CORR’s top youth racers, all seven of Saturday’s winners ran it back on Sunday, starting with Bryce Tomassi (170 Production) and Elliott Brooke (250 Modified) taking their second wins of the season. Tomassi became the first repeat winner in one of CORR’s deepest fields, while Brooke equaled Brody Kline’s back-to-back wins from Firebird in October.

From there, Stetson Wyman (170 Limited) and Addie Atteberry (800 Open) scored their third wins in a row, Kyle Niner (Youth Production) and Ryder Greco (Youth Restricted) kept their perfect seasons alive, and Saturday’s entire Youth SXS podium of Mikey Childress, Kash Hart, and Kody Krantz reprised their finishing positions before the intermission.

Niner and Greco are the last remaining drivers with a perfect season after Mia Chapman came home third in Pro Production. In the closing laps, Chapman and Rylen Lane fought with everything they had to get past Jeremy Spears, but last lap contact and damage dropped Chapman to the final podium spot as Spears scored his first win of the season.

Michael Burnstein came out on top in Pro Am Turbo, while Carson Greco (Pro Am) and Paul O’Brien (SR1) returned to the top steps of the podium for the third time apiece this season. In the multi-class Sportsman race, Saturday runners-up Austin Dorn and Matt Dyer did one spot better in their respective divisions to round out the list of winners.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 4 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:

Three Winners in Three Races for Top CORR Classes After Saturday Action at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Three of Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR)’s top Pro classes have seen three different winners in as many races to start the 2025-26 season after Saturday’s action at Firebird Motorsports Park. Koen Crawford (Pro SXS) and Johnny Holtger (Pro Lite) took wins in their first turns behind the wheel this season, while Trent Ouellette (Pro NA) broke through after posting the top qualifying time at both events so far this year.

Crawford was one of many newcomers in CORR’s top SXS class, which swelled from 10 entries at Firebird two months ago to 17 this weekend. He outlasted the field in a hard-fought race that saw multiple early incidents and a hard fight from Beau Judge, who nonetheless walked away with his third podium of the season.

“It was great!” said Crawford. “We struggled in qualifying with some turbo issues, but we got the boost figured out. I’d just like to thank Beau, he raced me perfectly clean, and that was probably the most fun race I’ve had in a while. After the mandatory (caution), I lost brakes—they went straight to the floor, it was definitely a struggle to get around.”

“It was an awesome battle between us two,” added Judge. “He was driving the wheels off his car, I was driving the wheels off my car. On the restart, I thought I had him, but he was just able to pull back ahead of me again. But it was totally fun—he was racing me clean, and it was great.”

For Holtger, Saturday was his second credited win of the season, after Michael Funk filled in for him in October and won the opener. For his efforts, Funk was rewarded with a ride of his own this time around, scoring second place. Ouellette, meanwhile, had to hold off Ryder Vanbeekum and Ryder Chapman for the Pro NA checkered flag, as all three of that class’s winners so far this year shared the podium.

“It’s been a lot of work to get here,” said Ouellette. “Qualifying went really good yesterday, I just wanted to get out front and have a clean race. Me and Bobby (Vanbeekum) had a good battle going the first couple laps, then he broke, but then my spotter said Ryder was right there, we gotta go, gotta go. It was a really fun race!”

Only Mia Chapman could buck the trend in the Pro classes, taking her third straight Pro Production win thanks in part to an exciting outside pass around Rylen Lane after the mid-race restart. The only other drivers with perfect seasons so far are Kyle Niner in Youth Production and Ryder Greco in Youth Restricted.

Mikey Childress and Kash Hart are set for one of the toughest battles of the year in Youth SXS after splitting the opener, and it was Childress who broke the tie with his second win of the season as Hart clawed his way from the back of the pack to second on Saturday. Paul O’Brien also added his second win of the season in SR1, while Stetson Wyman (170 Limited) and Addie Atteberry (800 Open) are now on two-race winning streaks.

Like the top two Pro classes, a deep 170 Production field has seen three winners in as many rounds, with Bryce Tomassi the latest. Also scoring their first wins of the season were Elliott Brooke (250 Modified), Jayden Manchester-Coon (Pro Am), Rhyan Denney (Pro Am Turbo), Shaun Jones (Sportsman), and Calvin O’Dell (Sportsman Turbo).

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 3 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:
