Championship Off-Road, officially known as AMSOIL Championship Off-Road (as Amsoil holds the naming rights) and abbreviated to COR, is an American short course off-road racing series. Founded in 2020 and sanctioned by the International Series of Champions (ISOC), the series mainly competes in the Midwestern United States.
was originally the preeminent sanctioning body for short course off-road racing in the Midwest before its folding in 2018. The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series then took over as the main series in the region via the Lucas Oil Midwest Short Course League until its dissolution after the 2019 season as officials elected to focus on LOORRS.[1] In October 2019, ISOC partnered with Crandon International Off-Road Raceway, Bark River Raceway, and ERX Motor Park to create Championship Off-Road.[2]
Championship Off-Road's inaugural season in 2020 was marred by the COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting restrictions on attendance forced Bark River to cancel its races. The opener was held at ERX on July 10–11.[3] [4]
LOORRS released its 2021 schedule in October 2020 at only three tracks.[5] On November 13, Lucas Oil Products announced that it has ended sponsoring and operating the LOORRS series.[6] This closure left COR (and the dissimilar Stadium Super Trucks) as the only short course off-road racing sanctioning bodies remaining.[7] Many of the West Coast teams raced in the Midwest for the season.[8]
COR races were streamed online at Vimeo Livestream. The booth consisted of Brent Smith and Cheyne Statezny while Haley Shanley served as track reporter.[9] CBS Sports Network assumed television rights beginning in 2022.[10]
