FONDA, NY – Known as the high side hustler behind the wheel, Scott Duell is using his knowledge of dirt track racing and education in graphic design to blaze his own entrepreneurial trail after creating his own company Scott Duell Marketing and Designs LLC adding to the Duell Family Racing legacy in the Capital District.

SD (Scott Duell) Marketing and Designs LLC is joining the JAM Performance CDRA Racing Series presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply as an integral part of the design and marketing process through their innovative ideas stemming from race car wraps to social media campaigns.

After working years for others while his family continued to grow with wife Jade, two daughters Peyton and Parker, and another bundle of joy on the way this clay pounding poppa needed to make his own hours.

“I’ve been in the design and marketing world for over 15 years. About a year ago I decided it was time for my own business. So, Duell Marketing & Designs was launched and about a year later the boat is still afloat,” said SD proprietor Scott Duell.

His skills are limitless specializing in graphic design, marketing, custom helmet artwork, racecar wraps, social media, and more.

“Like the Days Of Thunder saying, there’s nothing I can’t do with design and marketing,” Duell said.

He concluded with, “If you have a company that needs a rebrand, a racer who needs a social media presence, or even a well put together sponsor presentation then I can do those things as well.”

SD Designs and Marketing LLC is truly a one stop shop for racers or businesses who want a professional look with a personal touch that is guaranteed to catch the eye.

“I’ve known Scott for nearly 20 years. Like Chris (Recker) he’s always been supportive of projects I work on and willing to get involved. I’m glad he’s part of CDRA and we’ll get him working on some new designs for the upcoming season and who knows, maybe a sweet championship custom helmet,” said Rob Hazer, CDRA competition director.

CDRA is a nostalgic throwback to the CVRA days. A series designed specifically for Capital District racing. Season two schedule consists of a diverse schedule at storied dirt tracks like the great race place, the fastest quarter mile on dirt, and the valley of speed. Drivers who do travel the Capitaland will earn hardware and some green for their efforts.
