Clean Sweeps for Top Pros, Youth Racers Highlight CORR Round 4 at Firebird

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

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:

CORR Returns to Action at Firebird with Friday Qualifying; Krajicek, Holtger Post Fastest Laps

Pro SXS racer Kolton Krajicek paced the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) field in Friday qualifying for this weekend’s doubleheader at Firebird Motorsports Park, the third and fourth rounds of the 2025-26 season. Krajicek’s 53.720 nipped top October qualifier Beau Judge by just .274 seconds for the top spot, as less than a second separated the top five in both Pro SXS and Pro NA.

Two months ago, just five drivers were able to crack the one-minute mark in their qualifying laps; this weekend, the pace picked up considerably. Pro Lite, Pro Am Turbo, SR1, and Youth SXS all ratcheted up their speeds to crack the 60-second barrier, with Midwest champion Johnny Holtger’s season debut in Pro Lite seeing him post the second-fastest pole lap of the entire weekend.

Fastest racers on Friday who also posted the top times in October included Carson Greco (Pro Am), Trent Ouellette (Pro NA), Andre Tomei (Pro Am Turbo), Ryder Greco (Youth Restricted), and Addie Atteberry (800 Open). The smallest margin between first and second went down to Youth SXS title rivals Kash Hart and Mikey Childress, who were split by just .105 seconds, closely followed by SR1, where Larry Hayes bested Paul O’Brien by just .111.

Redemption for Carr, Dramatic Finishes Highlight CORR Sunday Action at Firebird

Double or nothing was the theme of the day at Firebird Motorsports Park on Sunday, as Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) wrapped up its first of five doubleheaders on the 2025-26 campaign. Some racers managed to sweep their classes, and others would end the day wondering what might have been.

Nowhere was the drama more apparent than the headlining Pro SXS and Pro NA classes. In Pro NA, Saturday winner Ryder VanBeekum came within a single corner of sweeping the weekend, leading Saturday’s Pro SXS winner Ryder Chapman in a clean fight to the finish. Instead, a brutally timed equipment failure would knock VanBeekum from first to fifth as he limped towards the line.

Chapman himself wasn’t immune from the curse, either. After a hotly contested battle with Chase Carr for yesterday’s Pro SXS win, Chapman found himself leading Carr once again late in the race. But he rolled in Turn 3, and despite putting the throttle down to try and recover, a broken rear suspension left him with three wheels and unable to continue, allowing Carr to move up a spot from yesterday.

Carr was just one of many racers to do one spot better from their Saturday second places. The phenomenon started early in both 170 classes, with Banks Bawden (Production) and Stetson Wyman (Limited) the first to pull it off. It continued in 800 Open with Addie Atteberry and Youth SXS with Kash Hart, and Carr was the first of three drivers to do it in a row in the adult classes, just before Brandon Kilgore (SR1) and Tobias Chevalier (Pro Lite). Behind Chevalier, Saturday winner Michael Funk and Nick Brandon had one of the closest finishes of the day battling for second, with Funk getting the edge because he landed the final jump first and was able to put the power down a little earlier.

Repeat winners from Saturday included Brody Kline, Kyle Niner, brothers Carson and Ryder Greco in their respective classes, Chace Quick, Matt Dyer, and Mia Chapman and Steve Hoffman in the Pro Production/Pro Am Turbo multi-class race. On Saturday, Hoffman got the jump on Chapman during the restart after the competition caution to win the overall; on Sunday, Chapman held the lead off the restart, and using the second place Pro Production car of Jeremy Spears as a buffer, built a gap to keep the overall lead across the line.

Podium finishers from CORR 2025-26 Round 2 at Firebird Motorsports Park were as follows:
