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.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 7 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 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.

Track Facts

San Bernardino’s Glen Helen Raceway is known in the motocross and short course off-road communities alike as one of the sport’s preeminent facilities. The short course circuit puts thrilling finishes right in front of the fans on its long front stretch, while a mix of tight and flowing corners and jumps keep drivers honest in their pursuit of the checkered flag.

Racer Spotlight

Short course off-road racing in Southern California has developed a flavor all its own over the years, and CORR’s debut at Glen Helen will mark a passing of the torch for it in more ways than one. Fans who grew up watching names like Renezeder, Brooks, and Currie will see those names on track once again—except instead of Carl, Jerett, and Casey, it’ll be their kids taking the green flag as part of the next generation of stars. (Of course, their dads will still be with us to cheer them on.)

Ryder VanBeekum knows a thing or two about taking the torch, particularly at Glen Helen. Now competing against his dad, Robert, in multiple classes, Ryder has celebrated some of the biggest triumphs of his short course career at this track. This weekend, he’ll be coming in with a single-point advantage in Pro NA over his close friend Ryder Chapman, although Trent Ouellette sits within striking distance in third. The trio have split all four class wins so far this season.

The premier Pro SXS class swells to more than 20 projected entries, which means that the best chance for anyone to catch points leader Beau Judge might be in Glen Helen. He’s got 18 points in hand over Bryan McCormick, but the spread from second place to fifth is just seven points. Even more dominant are Kyle Niner in Youth Production and Ryder Greco in Youth Restricted, as both went four for four on wins in the opening rounds at Firebird before the start of the new year.

Meanwhile, the Pro Lite field continues to get even stronger with the CORR debut of Brent Smith, who trades in his microphone for a helmet as he slots into points leader Johnny Holtger’s second truck. Michael Funk will instead slide into his familiar truck from the midwest as the trucks boast their largest field since joining the series.

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.
