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!”

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.

Conner Maxwell Claims Final Pro SXS Pole of 2025-26 CORR Season at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

After scoring his first win of the 2025-26 Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season at Firebird Motorsports Park last month, Conner Maxwell joins Pro SXS points leader Beau Judge as just the second driver to have both won a race and qualified pole in the premier class this season. Maxwell’s 53.874 lap at Firebird in Friday’s Round 9 qualifying gave him the pole by .327 seconds over Kyle Arkenau, whose 54.201 was just one one-thousandth of a second off the lap that gave him the pole for Round 7 last month.

Robert VanBeekum kicked qualifying off in Pro NA with his second straight pole, taking the top spot by .143 seconds over Ryder Chapman in what turned out to be the smallest gap of the day. VanBeekum’s son and points leader Ryder will start third on Saturday as he looks to lock up the title and $5,000 champion’s award from series sponsor R-n-R Steel.

Besides VanBeekum, only a handful of other racers were able to back up their top qualifying times from last month. They included Johnny Holtger in Pro Lite, Carson Greco in Pro Am, Murphy McKay in 250 Modified, and Greyson Gentry in 170 Production—who will start his pursuit of both 170 class titles from the pole on both grids on Saturday.

Holtger and Gentry were just two of the incoming points leaders to take the top spot on the time charts today, alongside names like Paul O’Brien (SR1), Carson Greco (Pro Am), Michael Burnstein (Pro Am Turbo), and Mikey Childress (Youth SXS). Judge, on the other hand, will begin his pursuit of the $5,000 champion’s award from R-n-R Steel from ninth place, although he enters with a 51-point lead that should soften the blow.

Provisional top qualifiers on Friday included the following:

UTV, Car, and Truck Classes

  • Pro SXS: #191 Conner Maxwell, 53.874
  • SR1: #11 Paul O’Brien, 56.430
  • Pro Lite: #44 Johnny Holtger, 56.991
  • Pro Am: #155 Carson Greco, 57.022
  • Pro NA: #64 Robert VanBeekum, 57.746
  • Pro Production: #88 Todd Wittman, 58.284
  • Pro Am Turbo: #295 Michael Burnstein, 59.046
  • Sportsman: #223 Liam Cadwell, 1:00.400

Youth Classes

  • Youth Production: #117 Alex Ranuio, 57.103
  • Youth SXS: #84 Mikey Childress, 1:00.854
  • Youth Restricted: #151 Ryder Greco, 1:01.140
  • 800 Open: #747 Zeppelin Ledbetter, 1:07.349
  • 250 Modified: #98 Murphy McKay, 1:12.965
  • 170 Limited: #208 Greyson Gentry, 1:13.700
  • 170 Production: #208 Greyson Gentry, 1:17.046

Beau Judge Extends CORR Pro SXS Points Lead With Round 8 Win at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

The premier division of Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) is firmly under Beau Judge’s control after another exciting weekend of action at Firebird Motorsports Park. After climbing from sixth to second in Saturday’s Round 7 action, Judge found his way past Conner Maxwell immediately as the green flag dropped on Sunday and took his second win of the season in Round 8.

“Luckily, I just got a good jump on the start,” said Judge. “I’ve always been good on the light, so I was able to clear him going into Turn 1, and then I was just hitting my marks. It was starting to become a desert race out there—the ruts were getting so deep and the holes were getting big, so I was happy with my tire choice. Congrats to the other podium guys—we’re all 1-2-3 in points, and this is why.”

Judge’s top points rivals, Kyle Arkenau and Bryan McCormick, joined him on the podium. Arkenau followed Judge into second place on the first lap, but he’d be hotly pursued by Maxwell until Maxwell spun with just two laps to go. McCormick, meanwhile, jumped from sixth to third in the closing laps of the race to secure his third podium of the season.

The day started with a bang in the 170 Production class, with Saturday winner Greyson Gentry caught up in a first-lap tangle that would prevent him from going two for two on the weekend. The high attrition start to the day would see multiple leaders either wreck or pull off before Saturday runner-up Krayton O’Connor would secure his first win of the season. Gentry wouldn’t be the only driver to face that fate while pursuing a weekend sweep, as Timothy Jones had an incident of his own in the Sportsman race.

Others found redemption from bad luck earlier in the weekend. Carson Greco spun while leading Pro Am on Saturday, giving the win to Kash Hart, but there would be no repeat on Sunday as he took his sixth win of the season. Likewise, after giving up the Sportsman lead to Jones on Saturday on the final lap, Chris Leaming would hang on until the checkered flag on Sunday.

Ryder VanBeekum further extended his Pro NA points lead with his second win of the weekend and fourth of the season. Other weekend sweeps in the adult classes included Michael Burnstein in Pro Am Turbo, Calvin O’Dell in Sportsman Turbo, Johnny Holtger in Pro Lite, and Jason Weller in SR1 after a dramatic on Paul O’Brien in the final corner coming to the white flag.

“Yesterday the track was great, and today it was a lot more wet,” said Weller. “I had to chill out the first few laps, and once you start feeling the traction you can start figuring it out. Paul is really good—he doesn’t mess up, and it’s real hard to find a spot just to get him. I started setting him, up, and in that last turn he was taking different lines every time. Sure enough, he went wide, and I was right there.”

Youth drivers to win both races on the weekend included Gentry in 170 Limited, Murphy McKay in 250 Modified, and Addie Atteberry in 800 Open to extend her win streak in that class to seven races. Kyle Niner found his way back to the top of the box in Youth Production after finishing second on Saturday, while Ryder Greco earned the Youth Restricted win after running third in Round 7.

Conner Maxwell Breaks Through for First Pro SXS Win of CORR Season at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

After taking his first podium of the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season last month at Glen Helen Raceway, Conner Maxwell did a couple steps better on the box on Saturday afternoon at Firebird Motorsports Park. Maxwell took the lead early and scored his first victory of the season in Round 7, claiming the Maxxis Fastest Lap Award in the process.

“I knew I needed to get right to the front and run my own line,” said Maxwell. “I wanted to get out front, run clean lines, and get away from all the chaos. This one feels really good to get back up here on the box where I belong. Nothing feels greater than being up on the top step!”

The other two spots on the Pro SXS podium, meanwhile, changed in the closing laps. Ryder VanBeekum led his father Robert for second place coming into Lap 8, but a mechanical issue would force him to pull off. Beau Judge would ascend to third and haunt Robert VanBeekum for second going into the final lap, where the elder VanBeekum would also pull off track.

Cameron Bawden, who had already placed third in Pro Production, would get to replicate the result in Pro SXS as a result. But for Judge, clawing his way up to second would allow him to further extend his points lead over polesitter Kyle Arkenau, who finished fourth, and Bryan McCormick, who took an early DNF.

“We started in P6, and I knew we had our work cut out for us with the good competition here,” said Judge. “We just kept picking everybody off, and I think I was up to fifth by the competition yellow. I was able to get one guy off the restart, we got up to third, I was battling with Robert, and he must have had a belt go or something. By the time I got through everyone, Conner was just too far up.”

Ryder VanBeekum wouldn’t walk away from the day empty handed, though, as he won the Pro NA race earlier in the afternoon to extend his points lead to 12 over Ryder Chapman. Other Pro class winners included Trent Ouellette in a surprise entry in Pro Production, Kash Hart in Pro Am after a late spin for Carson Greco, and Michael Burnstein in Pro Am Turbo.

The Sportsman race saw a dramatic finish thanks to Timothy Jones, who put on a show to earn his first win of the season. He passed both Chris Leaming for the class win and Sportsman Turbo winner Calvin Odell for the overall win in the final lap of the race.

“It was a really fun race, especially with the final restart coming,” said Jones. “I thought I had lost it on the restart, I had my spotter tell me to back up off the Turbo guys. I left it open in Turn 1, he got through, had to battle back a couple laps later, secured number one. It was a fun race.”

The two Youth classes were swept by the Foerster family, with Tatum Foerster winning the Production race and Ryder Foerster claiming the checkers in Youth Restricted. In the youngest divisions, Addie Atteberry extended her winning streak to six races in 800 Open, Murphy McKay returned to the series with his first win of the season in 250 Modified, and Greyson Gentry swept both the 170 Limited and Production races. Johnny Holtger (Pro Lite) and Jason Weller (SR1) rounded out the winners on the day.

Kyle Arkenau Tops Pro SXS Qualifying as CORR Season Resumes at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Pro SXS title contender Kyle Arkenau threw down the fastest time in qualifying for CORR’s return to Firebird Motorsports Park, turning a 54.200 on Friday afternoon to take the pole. The lap was .303 seconds faster than defending series champion Ryder VanBeekum in second, as drivers look to whittle down Beau Judge’s points lead in Rounds 7 and 8 this weekend.

In fact, VanBeekum qualified second in both top Pro classes, as he ran second to his father Robert in Pro NA as well. Multiple points leaders came out on top of their respective qualifying sessions, including Carson Greco (Pro Am), Jeremy Spears (Pro Production), Johnny Holtger (Pro Lite), and Addie Atteberry (800 Open).

Many classes saw extremely close pole fights that suggest this weekend’s action will be hotly contested. Tanner Wittman’s Pro Am Turbo pole came by just .013 seconds over Michael Burnstein, while Tatum Foerster turned a lap of exactly one minute in Youth Production to beat five-time race winner Kyle Niner by .024 seconds. Austin Dorn only outqualified Chris Leaming in Sportsman by .051 seconds, and Ryder Foerster beat Jaxon Cotter by the exact same margin in Youth Restricted.

Provisional top qualifiers on Friday included the following:

UTV, Car, and Truck Classes

  • Pro SXS: #93 Kyle Arkenau, 54.200
  • Pro NA: #64 Robert VanBeekum, 56.310
  • Pro Am: #155 Carson Greco, 57.834

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.

Beau Judge Breaks Through at CORR Glen Helen, Extends Pro SXS Points Lead

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) Pro SXS points leader Beau Judge finally scored his first win of the 2025-26 season on Sunday at Glen Helen Raceway. From the outside of the front row, Judge grabbed the lead from Saturday winner Augie Renezeder in turn one and never looked back.

“All we did was make a tire pressure adjustment (from Saturday), and the car was way better,” Judge said from the top step of the podium. “It’s amazing what five pounds of pressure will do in the rear. We’re just trying to move up slowly and not take too many bites of anything, but we’re super consistent and we’ve been on the podium every single round but one. I just knew that if I kept putting myself in the right position it would be a matter of time before I got the top spot.”

Judge had been on a tear to start the Pro SXS campaign, qualifying on pole in the opener at Firebird Motorsports Park, earning three podiums there, and taking his fourth of the season on Saturday after chasing Renezeder for most of the race. While he entered Sunday’s action with a 28-point advantage over Bryan McCormick, he was determined to add a win to the tally sooner than later.

When the green flag fell, Judge shot out to the front of the field, surviving two restarts with a hard-charging Renezeder hot on his tail. Shortly after the latter, Renezeder would suffer a mechanical failure that forced him to pull off track, yielding the pursuit to defending champion Ryder VanBeekum and Kyle Arkenau. But VanBeekum would suffer issues of his own in the closing laps, moving Arkenau up to second and giving third place to McCormick.

Youth racers kicked off the day with weekend sweeps in both 170 classes, with Greyson Gentry in Production and Kaysen Stowell in Limited, and the trend continued with wins for Addie Atteberry (800 Open), Tatum Foerster (Youth Production), Krew Hart (Youth Restricted), and Mikey Childress Jr. (Youth SXS). Of the young racers, only Elliott Brooke, who scored his third win of the season in 250 Modified, didn’t also take a victory on Saturday.

When the pros took over, it was a VanBeekum family sweep in Pro NA, as Ryder VanBeekum scored the Sunday win after his father Robert took the checkered flag on Saturday. Jeremy Spears and Matt Dyer would return to the top steps on the box with wins in Pro Production and Sportsman Turbo, while Carson Greco in Pro-Am, Brandon Birmingham in Pro-Am Turbo, and Ryan Bragdon in Sportsman would each go two for two on the weekend.

Wrapping things up was an intense SR1 final, which saw Brandon Kilgore deny Scott Webster a weekend sweep by just .887 seconds at the line. Following that, John Holtger’s dominance of Pro Lite continued with his second win in as many days over Michael Funk, who subbed for Holtger in the opener from Firebird.

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.
