Track Facts

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

It’s been a terrific Pro SXS season for points leader Beau Judge, whose breakthrough first win of the season last month at Glen Helen Raceway enabled him to extend his points lead to 34. He was joined on the Round 6 podium by Kyle Arkenau and Bryan McCormick, who finished in that order in the race but are in the opposite order in the standings. Arkenau’s hold on third is tenuous, though, as defending class champion Ryder VanBeekum, Round 1 winner Ryder Chapman, and Jeremiah Wagner are within seven points of him.

VanBeekum and Chapman’s double duty season also sees them running 1-2 in Pro NA points, split by just three after VanBeekum won Round 6 in Glen Helen. Jeremy Spears (Pro Production), Carson Greco (Pro Am), and Michael Burnstein (Pro Am Turbo) complete the Pro class points leaders.

Elsewhere, a handful of other SXS classes are seeing some tight points battles. 170 Production has been home to a thrilling battle between Krayton O’Connor and Greyson Gentry, who are just three points apart, and 170 Limited leader Stetson Wyman has Kaysen Stowell and Zeppelin Ledbetter tied for second just 10 points behind him. Timothy Jones leads the Sportsman field by just 13 points, and Paul O’Brien maintains the same gap over both Scott Webster and Brandon Kilgore in SR1 as all three drivers have won this season.

On the other hand, some drivers have been without comparison so far this season. Mikey Childress boasts a 79-point lead in Youth SXS, just one point larger of a lead than Elliott Brooke’s is in 250 Modified, while Matt Dyer is up by 50 points in Sportsman Turbo, Addie Atteberry’s five-race win streak has her ahead by 32 in 800 Open, and Johnny Holtger has a comfortable 31-point lead in Pro Lite.

However, the Youth set has two points races that could go either way. Ryder Greco’s Youth Restricted advantage sits at 17, while Kyle Niner remains up front by 22 in Youth Production thanks to wins in the first five races and a third-place finish in Round 6. Both drivers are four for four at Firebird so far this season; if they can go six for six, they may make it tough for anyone to catch them going into the finale.

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.

The Chase for the Championship Begins: CORR Readies for Firebird Doubleheader on December 12-14

After a strong season debut at Firebird Motorsports Park in October, Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) returns to action at its flagship Arizona venue on December 12-14. With three full days of on-track excitement, early registration discounts, and new low ticket prices, there’s no better way to ring in the holiday season for racers and race fans alike.

Race Registration | Season Membership | General Admission

Tickets for Rounds 3 and 4 are on sale now at new low prices. Single-day admission is $20, while a weekend pass covering all three days is $35 (kids 5 and under free). In addition, spectator camping is available for $20 on Saturday and $35 for the weekend.

Racer registration is also open now. Early registrations can enter the code FALL2025 at checkout to receive $50 off class entry, one pit/camping pass, and one weekend general admission pass—a total of $150 in savings!

Prior to race week, fans will have plenty of opportunities to get familiar with CORR:

  • Highlights from last month’s season opener at Firebird will air on RACER Network on Monday nights in December. Round 1 highlights will air on Monday, December 1 at 7PM PT, and Round 2 highlights will air on Monday, December 8 at 7PM PT.

The season opener set the tone for an exciting season to come, with dramatic finishes all weekend long and only a handful of drivers able to sweep both rounds of the doubleheader. Chapman and Greco were two of the racers who managed to go back-to-back, while front-runners like Ryder VanBeekum, Chase Carr, and Ryder Chapman would also establish themselves as names to beat among the healthy Pro fields.

The series attracted first-time entries from Carr, Beau Judge, Jeremiah Wagner, and Kolton Krajicek, and it also kicked off its first Pro Lite championship. Holtger, the Midwest champion this year, will make his CORR season debut in December, joining Michael Funk, who filled in for him at the opener and is among those returning for the next event.

The 2025-26 CORR season is set to be the biggest in series history, with free live streaming coverage of all rounds on the RACER+ app, YouTube, Facebook, and Rumble joined by 10 one-hour recap shows on the RACER Network. Jim Beaver and Tiffany Stone will have the call of the action all season long.
