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.
