FONDA, NY – The unknown. It drives race fans crazy. For the JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA series presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply it’s part of the allure. Who’s chasing, who isn’t, and boy, do we thrive on shakeups in the standings. Let’s look at a few names who may or may not chase the ‘chip in 2025, as we head into the Flying Trowel 32 at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.
Pat Jones is currently 8th in CDRA points after a respectable run back in April for the Spring Shootout opener at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. Recently in weekly action, Jones has been MIA. The Voorheesville, NY racer has turned most of his laps at one track, so if he’s unknown weekly he’s certainly unknown for chasing a ticket to title town.
Cody Ochs was a title contender last season until circumstances kept him out of the Lebanon Valley race. This season the Rensselaer, NY racer is behind the wheel of the David Bosclair owned 02 full-time weekly. Could he contend for the title again? Absolutely. If he puts together runs at the Ridge and Lebanon Valley, he’ll be a contender.
Bryce Breault would be a great CDRA storyline should he chase the championship in 2025. The Queensbury, NY racer has spent a majority of his young career at one track. Should he choose to chase a couple races being at Glen Ridge and Lebanon Valley to go along with his top 10 runs at Albany-Saratoga, then it’s safe to say he’d be in contention for the title.
Looking outside the current top 10 in CDRA points we find drivers like Scott Towslee who could earn Newcomer Of The Year, Daryl Nutting who has the potential to contend for the title, young hot shoe Derrick McGrew Jr. who could earn both the NOTY and punch his ticket to title town, Zach Buff who is looking to rebound from a tough run in the Spring Shootout, and many more. The question remains, who is going to be season two champion?
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.
