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 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

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

The final event of the CORR season means plenty of big storylines coming to fruition with the crowning of this season’s champions in Round 10 on Sunday. Title winners will be honored initially right on the podium after their final race of the season; the official series banquet will be held at a later date.

More than $10,000 is on the line for the biggest winners of the weekend. Longtime series sponsor R-n-R Steel has put up $5,000 apiece for the champions of the Pro SXS and Pro NA classes, which are currently led by Beau Judge (+51 in Pro SXS) and Ryder VanBeekum (+22 in Pro NA). If that wasn’t enough, Johnny Holtger’s dominance of Pro Lite has been so thorough—he comes into the weekend with a 78-point lead—that any driver who can beat him in Sunday’s finale will earn a $3,000 bonus of their own.

Plenty of championship battles are far from settled. In three of the younger classes, the gap between the top title contenders sits at under 15 points:

  • 170 Limited: Greyson Gentry leads Zeppelin Ledbetter by three points, Kaysen Stowell by five, and Stetson Wyman by eight.
  • 170 Production: Gentry leads Krayton O’Connor by three points in a bid to sweep both 170 divisions.
  • Youth Production: Kyle Niner has a 14-point lead over Tatum Foerster.

They’re not the only classes where the leader is still within reach, though. Besides VanBeekum’s 22-point advantage in Pro NA, Paul O’Brien (+20 in SR1), Michael Burnstein (+21 in Pro-Am Turbo), Tim Jones (+26 in Sportsman), and Krew Hart (+28 in Youth Restricted) have solid leads. Each is the clear-cut favorite, but against some talented fields, it’s most likely that they’ll need both race days to button up the title.

Some drivers, meanwhile, have been so dominant all season long that they’re likely to clinch just by taking the green flag. These names include Matt Dyer (+39 in Sportsman Turbo), Addie Atteberry (+43 in 800 Open), Jeremy Spears (+70 in Pro Production), Mikey Childress (+79 in Youth SXS), Carson Greco (+86 in Pro-Am), and Elliott Brooke (+86 in 250 Modified).

Finally, this weekend’s commentary team will see a familiar face return to the world of short course to call the champions home. Ken Stout will join Jim Beaver and Tiffany Stone on the call for this weekend’s races—but instead of handling play-by-play, he’ll put his expertise as a team manager on display as race analyst. Stout managed his son Robert’s championship-winning SXS program in 2019.

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.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 6 at Glen Helen Raceway were as follows:

Augie Renezeder Wins CORR Debut as Series Opens Glen Helen Doubleheader

Posted on | by Marketing Director

As Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) firmly took the torch of short course off-road racing in the southwest with its debut at Glen Helen Raceway on Saturday, so, too, did the next generation of one of the sport’s most famous names.

Following in the footsteps of his legendary father Carl, Augie Renezeder stormed out of the gate in CORR’s premier Pro SXS class in a car built by another iconic name, Doug Mittag. The younger Renezeder posted a clean sweep of Saturday’s Round 5 action, qualifying first, posting the Maxxis Tires Fast Lap, and earning the victory in his series debut.

“I think it’s just believing in myself, the car, my family, and everybody coaching me, and staying as calm as possible,” Renezeder said when asked about how he took the win. “I’d like to thank my family—my head crew chief, my uncle Frank, has been working his butt off to put all this together.”

Second place went to championship leader Beau Judge, who extended the advantage with his fourth podium of the season. In spite of early chaos that saw him take contact off the start, Judge was determined not to pay it forward when chasing down Renezeder—and he was rewarded with a points advantage over Bryan McCormick that has swelled to 28.

“Right when we got off the start, going into turn one I got hit in the back and almost spun out, but I was able to make the rhythm section,” Judge explained. “Augie was running a good race, and I was right behind him… in Turn 4 he was making a swoop and he stepped out a little bit, but I didn’t want to slam into him so I slammed super hard on the brakes. I don’t know if it did something to the diff but it just made the car seem super loose from there on.”

The dream of a perfect season is over for the last two remaining drivers who had a shot coming in, as both Kyle Niner in Youth Production and Ryder Greco in Youth Restricted would occupy other spots on the podium. Niner would fight through the loss of all-wheel drive to place third while Tatum Foerster led every lap, while Greco would fall just .406 seconds short of Krew Hart at the line in a dramatic finish.

In fact, almost every Youth class would see a first-time winner on the season. Greyson Gentry kicked off the streak of new winners in 170 Production, followed by Maisyn Atteberry in 250 Modified, and Kaysen Stowell in 170 Limited. Addie Atteberry and Mikey Childress scored their fourth wins of the year in 800 Open and Youth SXS, respectively, to equal Niner and Greco on the season.

In Pro NA, it was father and son taking the top honors in the race, as Robert VanBeekum took the checkered flag and Ryder posted the Maxxis Fast Lap. VanBeekum, Pro Production’s Rylen Lane, Pro-Am Turbo’s Brandon Birmingham, Sportsman’s Ryan Bragdon, and SR1’s Scott Webster earned their first wins of the year in the Pro classes. Carson Greco joined the list of four-time winners on the season in Pro-Am, while Calvin O’Dell took his second in Sportsman Turbo and John Holtger took his fourth in Pro Lite to cap off the day.

The action continues at 8AM on Sunday morning with another full slate of races for every class. Live streaming will once again be available on RACER+ and CORR social media channels.

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:

Three Winners in Three Races for Top CORR Classes After Saturday Action at Firebird

Posted on | by Marketing Director

Three of Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR)’s top Pro classes have seen three different winners in as many races to start the 2025-26 season after Saturday’s action at Firebird Motorsports Park. Koen Crawford (Pro SXS) and Johnny Holtger (Pro Lite) took wins in their first turns behind the wheel this season, while Trent Ouellette (Pro NA) broke through after posting the top qualifying time at both events so far this year.

Crawford was one of many newcomers in CORR’s top SXS class, which swelled from 10 entries at Firebird two months ago to 17 this weekend. He outlasted the field in a hard-fought race that saw multiple early incidents and a hard fight from Beau Judge, who nonetheless walked away with his third podium of the season.

“It was great!” said Crawford. “We struggled in qualifying with some turbo issues, but we got the boost figured out. I’d just like to thank Beau, he raced me perfectly clean, and that was probably the most fun race I’ve had in a while. After the mandatory (caution), I lost brakes—they went straight to the floor, it was definitely a struggle to get around.”

“It was an awesome battle between us two,” added Judge. “He was driving the wheels off his car, I was driving the wheels off my car. On the restart, I thought I had him, but he was just able to pull back ahead of me again. But it was totally fun—he was racing me clean, and it was great.”

For Holtger, Saturday was his second credited win of the season, after Michael Funk filled in for him in October and won the opener. For his efforts, Funk was rewarded with a ride of his own this time around, scoring second place. Ouellette, meanwhile, had to hold off Ryder Vanbeekum and Ryder Chapman for the Pro NA checkered flag, as all three of that class’s winners so far this year shared the podium.

“It’s been a lot of work to get here,” said Ouellette. “Qualifying went really good yesterday, I just wanted to get out front and have a clean race. Me and Bobby (Vanbeekum) had a good battle going the first couple laps, then he broke, but then my spotter said Ryder was right there, we gotta go, gotta go. It was a really fun race!”

Only Mia Chapman could buck the trend in the Pro classes, taking her third straight Pro Production win thanks in part to an exciting outside pass around Rylen Lane after the mid-race restart. The only other drivers with perfect seasons so far are Kyle Niner in Youth Production and Ryder Greco in Youth Restricted.

Mikey Childress and Kash Hart are set for one of the toughest battles of the year in Youth SXS after splitting the opener, and it was Childress who broke the tie with his second win of the season as Hart clawed his way from the back of the pack to second on Saturday. Paul O’Brien also added his second win of the season in SR1, while Stetson Wyman (170 Limited) and Addie Atteberry (800 Open) are now on two-race winning streaks.

Like the top two Pro classes, a deep 170 Production field has seen three winners in as many rounds, with Bryce Tomassi the latest. Also scoring their first wins of the season were Elliott Brooke (250 Modified), Jayden Manchester-Coon (Pro Am), Rhyan Denney (Pro Am Turbo), Shaun Jones (Sportsman), and Calvin O’Dell (Sportsman Turbo).

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 3 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:

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.

CORR Opens 2025-26 Season With 17 Winners in 17 Classes

Posted on | by Marketing Director

17 classes. 17 winners.

If you’re looking for excitement and a lot of different faces on top of the podium, you needn’t have looked any further than Firebird Motorsports Park on Saturday. The Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season kicked off with a bang, and despite some of short course off-road racing’s most talented drivers pulling double duty (or more), none could stand atop the box twice in the opener.

CORR’s fourth season was already poised to be its biggest yet thanks to an influx of new partners and classes, the addition of new race dates at Glen Helen Raceway and SBC Fairgrounds, a new TV and live streaming package on the RACER Network and RACER+, and top drivers heading west to do battle. The size of the entry list only backed that up, as the opener set a new CORR record with 116 unique drivers.

Firebird, for its part, established why it’s been CORR’s most frequently visited venue over the years with racers of all ages putting on some thrilling racing. A photo finish for third place in 170 Limited saw Cooper Hogenes holding off Brooks Hopkins at the line by just .03 seconds, while Pro Am Turbo winner Steve Hoffman and Pro Production class winner Mia Chapman would put up an incredible fight for first overall in the first multi-class race of the day.

It all built up to the feature Pro SXS race, with polesitter Beau Judge and Ryder Chapman doing heavy battle after they came to the green and Chapman briefly falling from first to fourth despite nearly making a pass for the lead on the outside. Robert VanBeekum would be next to challenge Judge, but he’d take contact from Chase Carr shortly after and fall out of contention.

Chapman would push hard to get back in the running, soaring past Carr to get back to second before the caution flew. On the restart, he’d get to Judge’s inside on Turn 2, make the pass stick on the outside of Turn 3, and pave the way for Carr to take second. On the final lap, Chapman would make a mistake that gave the top spot to Carr for a few hundred feet, but he’d push his way back into first in one of the most exciting races of the day.

While nobody could take two victories on Saturday, two drivers would stand on the podium more than once: Hogenes backed up his 170 Limited podium with another third place in Youth Restricted, and Mikey Childress backed up his Youth SXS victory with second place in Pro Am. In addition, multiple sibling pairs would take home hardware—led by the Chapmans’ two victories—and even a father-daughter duo (Daniel and Chloe Hurn) would take a pair of third place finishes in their respective classes.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 1 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:
