First CORR Qualifying Session of 2025-26 in the Books; Pro SXS’s Beau Judge Fastest Overall

Qualifying for the first event of the 2025-26 Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season at Firebird Motorsports Park is in the books, with more than 15 unique classes each doing battle at the storied Arizona venue on Friday. When all was said and done, Pro SXS racer Beau Judge had the fastest time of the day, while every class on the entry list had a different top qualifier despite the many fast drivers who will go for glory in multiple classes this weekend.

Pro SXS saw a hotly contested battle for first on the charts, with Judge’s 55.289 besting Ryder Chapman for top honors by just three hundredths of a second. In fact, the entire top five was separated by just over half a second, setting the stage for two incredible days of battles on Saturday and Sunday between 116 different racers—a new series record.

When all was said and done, five classes managed to crack the one-minute mark on their fastest lap times, including all three Pro UTV classes, Pro Am, and Youth Production polesitter Kyle Niner. Top Pro Lite qualifier Nick Brandon came within .026 seconds of joining them as the trucks join CORR for a full season for the first time in 2025-26.

Track Facts

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

UTV racing remains the heart of CORR’s race program, and top stars from last season will be back to defend their honors. The father-son duo of Robert and Ryder VanBeekum are registered for both Pro SXS and Pro NA, with Ryder aiming to defend last year’s Pro SXS crown.

TJ Siewers will look to defend his Pro NA title against the VanBeekums and Brian Willett, who moves up after winning last year’s Youth NA Open title. Willett will also compete in Pro Production against names like Mia Chapman, who makes her return to short course racing, and Jason Weller.

Youth classes are a crucial part of CORR as the proving ground for the sport’s future stars. That starts at the 170 Production level, where 20 of the sport’s youngest racers will get their first taste of short course racing. Youth Restricted will feature multiple standouts from last season facing off, with 170 Expert champion Ryder Foerster and 800 Modified champion Addie Atteberry taking on names like Ryder Greco and Krew Hart, who finished second and third in last season’s class standings.

Other stars set to compete this weekend include Corry Weller, who will look to add to her incredible off-road resume in the SR1 class, and Michael Funk, who will fill in for midwest Pro Lite champion Johnny Holtger in the same class.

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.
