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

UTV racing remains the heart of CORR’s race program, and top stars from last season will be back to defend their honors. The father-son duo of Robert and Ryder VanBeekum are registered for both Pro SXS and Pro NA, with Ryder aiming to defend last year’s Pro SXS crown.

TJ Siewers will look to defend his Pro NA title against the VanBeekums and Brian Willett, who moves up after winning last year’s Youth NA Open title. Willett will also compete in Pro Production against names like Mia Chapman, who makes her return to short course racing, and Jason Weller.

Youth classes are a crucial part of CORR as the proving ground for the sport’s future stars. That starts at the 170 Production level, where 20 of the sport’s youngest racers will get their first taste of short course racing. Youth Restricted will feature multiple standouts from last season facing off, with 170 Expert champion Ryder Foerster and 800 Modified champion Addie Atteberry taking on names like Ryder Greco and Krew Hart, who finished second and third in last season’s class standings.

Other stars set to compete this weekend include Corry Weller, who will look to add to her incredible off-road resume in the SR1 class, and Michael Funk, who will fill in for midwest Pro Lite champion Johnny Holtger in the same class.

All CORR races will feature television coverage on the RACER Network, as well as free live streaming on multiple platforms. Click here for the full CORR schedule.

The battle begins at Firebird with two full days of race action, kicking off at 8AM each day with Youth SXS classes and progressing through the day into the Sportsman and Pro SXS classes. Complementing CORR’s existing SXS structure at the end of each race day will be the Pro Lite, Beehive 1450, SR1, and VW Production classes, making for one of the most exciting grids in off-road racing.

Many of west coast short course’s top drivers have already confirmed their entries, including Ryder and Robert VanBeekum, Mia and Ryder Chapman, TJ Siewers, and Conner Maxwell. Stay tuned to the CORR Instagram for continued driver announcements as registrations roll in before the opener.
