Championship Off-Road Racing Introduces CORR NEXT

Posted on | by Marketing Director

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 Announces 2026–27 Championship Schedule

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) has announced its 2026–27 CORR presented by AMSOIL championship schedule, featuring 10 rounds of short-course off-road racing across five doubleheader weekends in Arizona, Nevada and California.

The new season will include return visits to Firebird Motorsports Park and Glen Helen Raceway, along with two highly anticipated weekends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as CORR brings short-course off-road racing back to Las Vegas in January and March 2027.

The 2026–27 CORR presented by AMSOIL schedule is:

  • Rounds 1–2: November 20–22 — Firebird Motorsports Park — Chandler, Arizona
  • Rounds 3–4: January 8–10 — Las Vegas Motor Speedway — Las Vegas, Nevada
  • Rounds 5–6: February TBD — Glen Helen Raceway — San Bernardino, California
  • Rounds 7–8: March 27–28 — Las Vegas Motor Speedway — Las Vegas, Nevada
  • Rounds 9–10: April 16–18 — Firebird Motorsports Park — Chandler, Arizona

“We’re incredibly excited about what this schedule represents for CORR and the continued growth of the championship,” said CORR co-owner Jason Ramsay. “Firebird has been a cornerstone of our series, Glen Helen has quickly become an important part of our championship, and bringing short-course off-road racing back to Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a major step forward for CORR.

“Each of these venues gives our racers and fans something unique, and having two weekends in Las Vegas adds another level of excitement to the season. We believe this is our strongest schedule yet, and we’re looking forward to sharing even more about what we have planned for 2026–27.”

The season opens November 20–22 at Firebird Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, before CORR makes its first trip to Las Vegas Motor Speedway on January 8–10. Glen Helen Raceway returns to the championship in February, followed by a second Las Vegas weekend March 27–28. The 10-round season concludes April 16–18 at Firebird Motorsports Park.

Additional announcements surrounding the 2026–27 CORR presented by AMSOIL season will be released in the coming weeks.

Beau Judge Headlines 2025-26 CORR Champions With Pro SXS Win in Firebird Finale

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Beau Judge’s dominance of the premier class of Championship Off-Road Racing in 2025-26 came to its natural conclusion on Sunday, as he claimed the final Pro SXS win of the season at Firebird Motorsports Park. Already mathematically secure thanks to his charge from last to third on Saturday and an incoming 49-point lead, Judge made a mid-race pass on Saturday winner Conner Maxwell to earn his third win of the campaign and score a $2,500 champion’s bonus from series sponsor R-n-R Steel.

“It was a good run. I knew Conner and (Kyle) Arkenau were going to be good up there,” Judge said from the top step of the podium. “So I tried to hook to the back of Conner’s bumper as best as I could, made quick work of Arkenau, and just tried to apply the pressure. He was going so good that I had to wait for a mistake, and that’s what happened—he biked it and I was able to get by him, and after that I just kind of ran my own race.”

It was clear from before the first green flag even flew on Sunday that everyone would be going all-out to end the season on a high note. A pile-up on the 170 Production pace lap briefly delayed the start, although it wouldn’t prevent Greyson Gentry’s sweep of both the weekend and the title—a feat he would later replicate in 170 Limited as this season’s only dual-class champion.

Judge and Gentry were just two of the drivers who would sew up dominant championship campaigns with victories. Addie Atteberry would earn her ninth straight victory in 800 Open to seal the deal, while Paul O’Brien would earn the SR1 title in a thrilling head-to-head battle with Scott Webster. Johnny Holtger would outrun a $3,000 bounty on any Pro Lite driver who could beat him in the finale to go a perfect eight for eight; in fact, he’d still have won the title without the points Michael Funk scored substituting for him with a win and second place in the opening two rounds.

Others would cement their titles on lower steps of the podium. Third place was all it took for Elliott Brooke (250 Modified), Ryder Greco (Youth Restricted), and Timothy Jones (Sportsman) to claim their hardware; Brody Kline, Hayden Barler, and Liam Cadwell would take the race wins. Meanwhile, it’d be second place for two of the top Pro drivers, as Ryder VanBeekum would earn the other $2,500 R-n-R Steel champion’s bonus in Pro NA after coming home behind teammate Ryder Chapman, and Jeremy Spears would lock up the Pro Production title behind Rylen Lane, who swept the weekend.

The battle came down to the wire in Youth Production, where Tatum Foerster did everything he could with a win on Sunday, but Kyle Niner’s fourth place finish was enough to outscore him by just 11 points. Carson Greco and Michael Burnstein would earn the Pro Am and Pro Am Turbo titles, while Alex Ranuio and Troy Horak would take the race wins; Sportsman Turbo’s Matt Dyer and Youth SXS’ Mikey Childress would be the last drivers to pick up championship hardware on Sunday, although they each ran different classes for the finale.

If all that drama wasn’t enough, CORR organizers had one more card up their sleeve to end the season. More than a dozen parents of this year’s racers would step into their kids’ cars (for the most part) for an eight-lap showdown. It was in that race that Robert VanBeekum would finally return to the top of the box; running the Pro SXS that teammate Kyle Arkenau took to second place on Saturday, VanBeekum would start in the back with the other turbo entries, weave through traffic, miss the incidents, and get around all of the NA machines before the checkered flag.

“It was exciting, and it was harder than I expected to come from the back,” VanBeekum said after taking the win. “Trying to drive Kyle’s car was a handful. I don’t understand how he gets it around the track—it was not the same as ours. Ryder warned me before going in, he said ‘dad, this car doesn’t turn and it has no brakes,’ and he wasn’t lying!”

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 7 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:

Conner Maxwell Headlines Action-Packed CORR Round 9 at Firebird With Pro SXS Win

Posted on | by Marketing Director

If you could only pick one race to get a new race fan hooked on Championship Off-Road Racing, you couldn’t do much better than Saturday’s Pro SXS final.

Sure, the results might have looked predictable to longtime CORR fans. Top qualifier Conner Maxwell took his second victory of the season, followed by second place qualifier Kyle Arkenau and points leader Beau Judge. But anyone who would drill Round 9 down to its podium clearly wasn’t watching: multiple rollovers, a dramatic wheel-to-wheel battle between the father-son duo of Robert and Ryder VanBeekum, and even a one-lap dash to the finish after the final caution kept the race anything but predictable.

Even the podium finishers were anything but immune to the chaos. Judge—who was already at a disadvantage coming from ninth on the grid—got hooked on Ryder Chapman early in the race, rolled over after they unhooked, and had to drive all the way back from last place. Maxwell, meanwhile, had to survive a hard charge from Arkenau after the final restart with a tire going down.

“Something was clicking, I could hear it,” Maxwell said about the dash to the checkers. “We lost a clutch cover as well, so I was just trying to slow the car down, maintain it, not kick up too much roost into the clutches and get this thing through to tomorrow. We’ve got a big week ahead of us. (Winning) is tremendous, it makes me feel good inside to show up for all these guys. We’ll show up tomorrow and do it all again.”

The day started with Greyson Gentry sweeping the 170 Production and Limited classes as he looks to lock up both titles tomorrow. Gentry would set the tone for numerous points leaders on the day, with Addie Atteberry (800 Open) taking her eighth win in a row and Johnny Holtger (Pro Lite) earning his seventh straight. Ryder VanBeekum in Pro NA, Carson Greco in Pro Am, Michael Burnstein in Pro Am Turbo, Kyle Niner in Youth Production, and Paul O’Brien in SR1 would also extend their championship leads with wins on Saturday.

In addition, Round 9 saw three women take CORR race wins on the same day for the second time this season. Following Atteberry’s win in 800 Open, Zoe Easton would get the call to fill in for an injured Ryder Foerster in Youth Restricted and take the win over series newcomer Hayden Barler in her return to CORR. Rylen Lane would then earn her second win of the season in Pro Production in dramatic fashion; after getting on two wheels while trying to pass Todd Wittman for the lead the first time, she’d make the same move stick in the same corner one lap later. Murphy McKay (250 Modified) and Alex Ranuio (Sportsman) would complete the winner’s list.

 

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 9 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:
