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.
