FONDA, NY – Mother Nature didn’t do anyone favors this season with many events getting forced to cancel or reschedule. The JAM Performance CDRA Racing Series presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply wasn’t immune to rain delayed events, and now the chase for the 2025 Capital District Crown enters a Grueling mini ‘hell tour’ scenario that began Friday at the great race place.
The Montgomery County Brawl scheduled to be part of a co-promoted event at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park along with DIRTcar East Series racing, was washed out sadly. CDRA officials worked with Ridge officials to reschedule the event to Sunday August 10th. That sets up a unique situation for all involved going forward this season.
One week prior to the rescheduled Montgomery County Brawl at Glen Ridge is the originally scheduled Rumble At The Ridge, which was set for Sunday August 3rd at the beginning of the year. It is part of the DIRTcar Sportsman Fall Series event at the fastest quarter mile on dirt. But that’s not where the CDRA’s mini ‘hell tour’ ends.
Just two weeks after the Rumble At The Ridge CDRA/DIRTcar Sportsman Series event is the highly anticipated return of Mr. Crate Track USA at Lebanon Valley Speedway on Thursday August 28th. It’s part of the Super DIRTcar Series Mr. DIRT Track USA event, which is one circled on a driver’s schedule in the spring as one of the most challenging events of the season.
So, when put together you have CDRA points paying races July 25th (Flying Trowel 32 at Albany-Saratoga Won By Tim Hartman Jr.), August 3rd (Rumble At The Ridge at Glen Ridge), August 10th (Montgomery County Brawl at Glen Ridge), and August 28th (Mr. Crate Track USA at Lebanon Valley). 4 points paying races in 5 weeks will test drivers and their will to win the Season Two (2025) championship.
After two races Chris Jakubiak leads the point standings with 206 and a win, but is just one point ahead of Tim Hartman Jr. who also has visited Scott Duell Marketing & Designs victory lane. Bennington, VT racer Joey Scarborough sits third in points with 198, with Dylan Madsen of Spencertown, NY fourth with 195, and Canaan, CT young gun and Newcomer Of The Year contender Connor Crane in fifth with 193.
“It’s crazy how it worked out, but we had to do it so we could get drivers at least six races for points and leave us as a series some space just in case we need to reschedule events prior to our season finale on September 19th during Malta Massive Weekend,” said competition director Rob Hazer.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Focus shifts to Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for a DIRTcar Sportsman Series event that doubles as a points paying race for CDRA competitors on Sunday August 3rd for a Rumble At The Ridge.
