Sean Corr Bio
Sean Corr (born February 21, 1984) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He currently competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 8 Chevrolet SS for Empire Racing. In addition to his racing activities, Corr serves as the president of Educational Bus Transportation, a school bus company based on Long Island.
A native of Goshen, New York, Corr has built his career primarily on short ovals and superspeedways, often entering his family-owned entries at marquee events. His racing program has spanned regional NASCAR divisions, the Camping World Truck Series, and the ARCA Menards Series.
Early Life and Background
Sean Corr was born on February 21, 1984, in Goshen, New York. He grew up on Long Island, where he was introduced to automotive work and competition at an early age. The region’s strong short-track racing culture helped shape his early interest in stock car racing.
Alongside his racing pursuits, Corr built a career in the transportation industry, eventually becoming president of Educational Bus Transportation. His business experience has helped support his self-funded racing program, allowing him to compete as a driver-owner rather than a full-time professional.
Path to NASCAR
Corr began his ascent through the NASCAR ladder by entering the NASCAR Camping World East Series, making his lone start in 2009 at Thompson, where he started 22nd and finished 16th. That brief appearance confirmed his interest in moving to higher-profile national touring events.
He expanded his schedule in subsequent seasons, taking his family-owned truck to selected Camping World Truck Series races. These limited starts at Daytona, Talladega, Eldora, and Pocono provided the foundation for his transition to national NASCAR competition.
Sean Corr Career
Early Career (2009–2010)
Corr’s first recorded NASCAR start came in 2009 at Thompson in the Camping World East Series, where he finished 16th. The experience offered him a glimpse of national touring-style competition and set the stage for future entries in the Truck Series.
During these formative years, Corr operated as an independent driver-owner, learning the logistics of hauling equipment, securing sponsorship, and preparing cars for race weekends. The lessons from these part-time schedules prepared him for a more ambitious ARCA program.
ARCA Menards Series Breakthrough (2011–2016)
Corr’s breakthrough arrived in 2011 when he contested a full ARCA Menards Series season, completing every race and finishing ninth in the championship standings. The consistency of a full-season effort established him as a regular contender in the series.
His most memorable performance came in 2012, when he captured his first ARCA pole position at Daytona, demonstrating his comfort on the high-banked superspeedways. In 2020, Corr earned his career-best ARCA result, finishing fourth at Daytona after leading seven laps in his family-owned No. 8 Chevrolet.
He has continued to focus on superspeedway and select events at Daytona, Talladega, and Pocono, using those high-profile races as cornerstones of his limited schedule. Corr remains a respected part-time entrant known for perseverance and owner-driver effort.
Camping World Truck Series (2013–2016)
Corr made six starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, entering his family-owned truck at Daytona, Talladega, Eldora, and Pocono. His best Truck Series result came at the 2015 Aspen Dental Eldora Dirt Derby, where he finished 20th on the unique dirt surface.
In 2016, Corr attempted to qualify at Eldora but a spin in the Last Chance Qualifier ended his bid. The following week at Pocono, he drove the No. 6 Chevrolet Silverado for Norm Benning Racing and finished 30th, rounding out his Truck Series appearances.
Empire Racing Era (2020–Present)
Operating under the Empire Racing banner, Corr has continued his part-time ARCA Menards Series schedule with the No. 8 Chevrolet SS. The team primarily targets Daytona, Talladega, and Pocono, allowing Corr to balance racing with his transportation business.
His 2020 fourth-place run at Daytona, where he led seven laps, marked a high point for the Empire Racing program. Corr has remained committed to owner-driver racing, funding much of his schedule independently while pursuing competitive results on superspeedways.
Driving Style and Strengths
Corr is best known for his comfort and consistency on superspeedways such as Daytona and Talladega, where he has earned a pole position and led laps. His patience in traffic and willingness to run a steady pace have helped him post top-ten results in heavy ARCA fields. Operating as a driver-owner has also sharpened his mechanical understanding and race-craft judgment.
Notable Races and Milestones
Among Corr’s signature moments are his 2011 full-season ARCA campaign that resulted in a ninth-place championship finish, his 2012 ARCA pole at Daytona, and his fourth-place run at Daytona in 2020. His Truck Series start at the Eldora Dirt Derby in 2015 remains his best result in NASCAR’s top-three national touring divisions.

Sean Corr Family
Family Background and Racing Lineage

2025 Season Performance
Entering 2025, Sean Corr continues his part-time ARCA Menards Series schedule with Empire Racing, primarily targeting superspeedway events at Daytona, Talladega, and Pocono. The No. 8 Chevrolet SS program remains self-funded, allowing Corr to choose events that fit alongside his transportation business commitments.
His established record of qualifying well at Daytona, including a 2012 pole and a 2020 fourth-place finish, sets a competitive baseline for the year. The Empire Racing team aims to build on that superspeedway speed with another top-ten run in 2025.
While a full-season ARCA campaign is not part of Corr’s 2025 plans, his selective schedule gives him the opportunity to chase standout results at the tracks where he has historically performed best. Consistency at Daytona and Talladega will once again define the goals of the Sean Corr and Empire Racing program.
