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:

CORR Returns to Action at Firebird with Friday Qualifying; Krajicek, Holtger Post Fastest Laps

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Pro SXS racer Kolton Krajicek paced the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) field in Friday qualifying for this weekend’s doubleheader at Firebird Motorsports Park, the third and fourth rounds of the 2025-26 season. Krajicek’s 53.720 nipped top October qualifier Beau Judge by just .274 seconds for the top spot, as less than a second separated the top five in both Pro SXS and Pro NA.

Two months ago, just five drivers were able to crack the one-minute mark in their qualifying laps; this weekend, the pace picked up considerably. Pro Lite, Pro Am Turbo, SR1, and Youth SXS all ratcheted up their speeds to crack the 60-second barrier, with Midwest champion Johnny Holtger’s season debut in Pro Lite seeing him post the second-fastest pole lap of the entire weekend.

Fastest racers on Friday who also posted the top times in October included Carson Greco (Pro Am), Trent Ouellette (Pro NA), Andre Tomei (Pro Am Turbo), Ryder Greco (Youth Restricted), and Addie Atteberry (800 Open). The smallest margin between first and second went down to Youth SXS title rivals Kash Hart and Mikey Childress, who were split by just .105 seconds, closely followed by SR1, where Larry Hayes bested Paul O’Brien by just .111.

Provisional top qualifiers on Friday included the following:

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

In the opening doubleheader, none of the drivers in Pro SXS or Pro NA could establish themselves as the definitive championship favorite; both classes are separated by six points or less in the top three. However, Ryder Chapman was able to take a win in both classes, putting him first in Pro NA by three over Ryder VanBeekum and tying him for second in Pro SXS with Beau Judge, five points back of Chase Carr.

Not so in Pro Production and Pro Am Turbo, which run together as a multi-class race. Mia Chapman and Steve Hoffman, respectively, swept the opener in their respective classes and take double-digit points leads into this weekend. The bigger question is who will be the first across the line, as they split that honor in October.

Brothers Carson and Ryder Greco made it a family affair on top of the box in October, with Carson sweeping both Pro Am races and Ryder doing the same in Youth Restricted. They have two of the largest points leads in the series coming into the weekend, with Carson 11 points ahead of Mikey Childress and Ryder up by 12 over Krew Hart.

Pulling double duty, Childress is in a heated battle with Kash Hart for top honors in Youth SXS. Childress drew first blood in the opening round in October, while Hart backed up his second-place finish in that race by beating Childress in the second race.

The largest points lead in the series belongs to 170 Production driver Banks Bawden. As one of the largest classes in CORR, a double podium on any weekend means a huge points haul; thanks to finishes of second and first in October, Bawden takes a 17-point advantage over Krayton O’Connor into this weekend.

Finally, Johnny Holtger makes his season debut behind the wheel in Pro Lite after Michael Funk filled in for him at the first event. Holtger has been the Pro Lite driver to beat in the Midwest in recent years, and Funk took a win and second place in the opening event as his substitute to allow him to enter the weekend tied for the points lead with Tobias Chevalier.

Redemption for Carr, Dramatic Finishes Highlight CORR Sunday Action at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

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.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 2 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:
