MALTA, NY – Jon Miller had been on tour before when he chased the King Of Dirt Racing series crown. With multiple CDRA top 10 finishes and wins at the great race place, Miller has the ability to compete at a high level. Now he has an opportunity to earn a CDRA ‘chip driving his Lazzaro’s Auto Body, Halfmoon Evergreen Property Maintenance, and Rensselaer Honda Bicknell Racing Chassis number 12.

Miller was part of the highly competitive three-wide Spring Shootout at Albany-Saratoga Speedway back in April, where he ended up finishing 7th respectively. He’s got laps at both Lebanon Valley and Glen Ridge, so could Jon Miller contend for the JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA series title presented by Elmo’s Speed & Supply? We believe he could.

UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Back to Albany-Saratoga Speedway for another points paying race as Sportsman Modified racers compete on Stan Da’ Man night. 32-lap main event paying $1,320 to win for the second of three points paying races on the CDRA schedule at the great race place.

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.

SPENCERTOWN, NY – Dylan Madsen has just the right amount of confidence to make him a threat to win any time he unloads his race rod. He has the potential to park his Madsen Overhead Doors, Riberdy Contracting, and Four-Star Transmissions Bicknell Racing Chassis number 89 in victory lane.

Madsen had a spirited run at Albany-Saratoga back in April during the Spring Shootout, and when the checkered flag flew, he found himself with a solid top five finish. The Spencertown, NY hot shoe is just 6 points out of first place in the standings currently. He’s logged laps at Lebanon Valley, but trips to the Ridge might be new territory for the 89.

FONDA, NY – Mother Nature is on a serious bender this season washing out racing in the Capital District on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday recently including the JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA points paying race presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply that would have been part of the DIRTcar East Sportsman Modified Series event at Glen Ridge.

Currently CDRA officials are holding tight awaiting a makeup date for the June 1st race that rained out. Once DIRTcar and Glen Ridge Motorsports Park officials agree on a date, CDRA will again attempt to tag along for a points paying race with the DIRTcar Sportsman East Series. Drivers want two PPR’s at The Ridge and work is being done behind the scenes to make sure that it is a reality.

Mother Nature has caused many tracks and series into rescheduling events in the Capital District, as she’s rained shows out or caused saturated grounds as the case this past Sunday at The Ridge for their weekly racing program. For CDRA the next points paying race on the schedule is a return run at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.

This season there are three points paying races at the great race place with the addition of the Flying Trowel 32, scheduled for Friday July 25th. The extra distance main event pays extra to the winner on a night to honor and remember track promoter Lyle DeVore’s father Stan. 32-laps in distance for CDRA racers paying $1,320 to win for Sportsman Modifieds on Stan Da’ Man night.

Ballston Spa, NY racer Chris Jakubiak continues to lead the points with fellow competitors Donovan Lussier, Joey Scarborough, Tim Hartman Jr. and Dylan Madsen completing the top five.

More details to come about the Flying Trowel 32 at Albany-Saratoga on July 25th as racers await the makeup date at Glen Ridge.

“Rain has really been crushing racing in the Capital District this year. Everywhere has had a really wet spring. Racers want to race, and fans want to spectate. We’re patiently waiting to hear from the fine folks at Glen Ridge on a makeup date so we can again tag along and/or team up next to the DIRTcar East Sportsman Series event. For now, we’re looking forward to our second of three points races in Malta, NY this season,” said competition director Rob Hazer.

UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Back to Albany-Saratoga Speedway for another points paying race as Sportsman Modified racers compete on Stan Da’ Man night. 32-lap main event paying $1,320 to win for the second of three points paying races on the CDRA schedule at the great race place.
