CORR Partners With USAC for 2026-27 Season

Posted on | by jayden gerber

 

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) has partnered with the United States Auto Club (USAC) for sanctioning for its upcoming 2026-27 CORR presented by AMSOIL and CORR NEXT seasons. This partnership brings CORR under one of the world’s most prominent and accomplished racing sanctioning bodies, helping to standardize rules for racers and provide the essential insurance to operate CORR events.

“Partnering with USAC is the latest major step in the evolution of CORR,” said CORR owner Glen Banta. “We’re thrilled to have them as our new sanctioning body partner for the coming season. Their expertise in handling many of the other top off road series in America allows us to provide a top-tier, familiar experience for our newcomers from other series, while also elevating the profile of our events for longtime CORR competitors.”

“USAC is excited to be part of CORR,” said Jason Smith, President – USAC Racing. “We see how CORR fits in the larger American off road landscape, and we feel that having short course running year round is a benefit for all of the sport’s racers and sponsors. We’re looking forward to starting our first season together and excited for the sport’s future.”

As part of the partnership, a team of USAC industry veterans will serve in key roles at CORR events. Brian Bennett (Tech Director) and Drew Schultz (Tech) will handle technical aspects of the series, while Lee Perfect (Race Director) and Bronsen Chiaramonte (Race Steward) will serve in race control.

CORR racers who are new to USAC competition may purchase a 2027 USAC Off Road License now. A license purchased for the upcoming CORR season will be valid through December 31, 2027, giving CORR racers up to approximately three additional months of coverage at no additional charge. Licensing options are also available for racers who plan to compete, or already compete, in other USAC-sanctioned off road series.

Championship Off-Road Racing Introduces CORR NEXT

Posted on | by jayden gerber

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) is thrilled to announce the creation of CORR NEXT, an all-new regional championship for beginner and non-professional short course racers. Comprised of five doubleheader events at Arizona’s Firebird Motorsports Park, the most frequent host of events in CORR history, the new series will serve as a feeder system for racers looking to work their way up to the premier CORR presented by AMSOIL tour.

The full 2026-27 CORR NEXT calendar is as follows:

  • Rounds 1-2: October 10-11
  • Rounds 3-4: December 12-13
  • Rounds 5-6: January 23-24
  • Rounds 7-8: March 13-14
  • Rounds 9-10: April 24-25

The goal of CORR NEXT is to deliver an affordable grassroots off-road racing experience for newcomers and sportsman racers alike. As a result, CORR NEXT events will be oriented towards competitors and their families, with a focus on track time and racer development. CORR NEXT will utilize fewer production elements than the higher-level CORR presented by AMSOIL tour in order to keep costs down and prioritize driver development.

As part of the new program, CORR is pleased to announce that Dan Hurn will serve as CORR NEXT series director. Both Hurn and his daughter Chloe were among the top competitors in their CORR classes last season, finishing second in their respective class championships, and Hurn will apply his experience towards running CORR NEXT with racing families at the front of mind.

“I’m extremely excited and honored to be invited to become part of the CORR management family and to take on the role of Race Director for CORR NEXT,” said Hurn. “I’m looking forward to this new chapter for CORR and the opportunity to bring a vision focused on growing the sport from the ground up. CORR NEXT is being created with beginners, youth racers, and up-and-coming amateur racers in mind—especially those who may not yet feel ready to make the jump into a larger CORR event.

“Ultimately, we want CORR NEXT to be a place where someone can take their first step into short-course racing, feel like they belong, and have a clear path to grow within the sport—and hopefully one day make the move into the main CORR series.”

Additional announcements regarding the 2026-27 CORR presented by AMSOIL season will be made in the coming days.

CORR presented by AMSOIL Adds Pro 2 and Pro Buggy, Confirms Return of Pro Lite for 2026-27 Season

Posted on | by jayden gerber

For the first time in series history, Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) presented by AMSOIL will introduce Pro 2 and Pro Buggy racing as part of its revised class list for the 2026-27 season. The series will also bring back Pro Lite racing for the second consecutive year. These additions will further expand CORR’s race program, supplementing its side-by-side roots with more truck and buggy racing.

“It’s very exciting for us to include Pro 2, Pro Lite, and Pro Buggy as part of the upcoming CORR season,” said CORR co-owner Jason Ramsay. “We’ve been asked by quite a few racers to expand our classes so they can come out and compete, and adding them is a great opportunity for us to grow professional short course racing in the southwest. We’re looking forward to having a lot of new racers join us as we kick off the new season in November!”

Pro 2 trucks represent some of the highest-level short course off-road racing in North America, with powerful V8 engines producing up to 800 horsepower and durable truck bodies that can go wheel-to-wheel on the dirt and in the air. Pro Buggy vehicles, meanwhile, trade large motors and high horsepower for lightness, agility, and aggressive suspension design on a single-seat, open-wheel body. Both are among the fastest classes in the sport, and both have an extensive history competing in the southwest.

Pro 2 and Pro Buggy join Pro Lite, which made its CORR debut with the 2025-26 season, on the series ladder. While the Pro Lite trucks produce roughly half the horsepower of a Pro 2, the racing is just as exciting, and the platform serves as a perfect stepping stone for the Pro 2 truck. Johnny Holtger took the inaugural Pro Lite championship.

The Pro 2, Pro Buggy, and Pro Lite class confirmations coincide with the release of the full 2026-27 CORR rulebook, which is available to racers now.

We think we’ve done that on both fronts, and we look forward to welcoming our regulars and newcomers alike when the season starts at Firebird in November!”
