FULTONVILLE, NY – Tonight, at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park DIRTcar Sportsman Championship Series top talents collide with Capital District hot shoes for a JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA racing series points paying Rumble At The Ridge presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply and New Deal Used Cars. It’s part of a huge full night of racing at the fastest quarter mile on dirt.
New Deal Used Cars is presenting the DIRTcar Sportsman Modified Championship tour, plus the weekly racing divisions including DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, DIRTcar Pro Stocks, DIRTcar Mini Stocks, and more. JAM Performance & Consulting, along with Elmo’s Speed Supply, present the CDRA racing series and have been gracious marketing partners.
Racing will follow the DIRTcar series format for the Sportsman Modifieds. Drivers will start with a draw through the back gate followed by timed hot laps, heat races, and last chance qualifiers to set the starting field for the 40-lap, $1,500 to win A-Main CDRA has titled Rumble At The Ridge.
The Ridge will host the CDRA Sportsman Modified Series for a third time tonight, Sunday August 3rd. Cody Ochs and Zach Buff have claimed CDRA points paying wins at the Fultonville, NY facility, while former track regular Taylor Wason is defending series champion. Tonight’s race is part of back-to-back PPR’s at Glen Ridge for CDRA title hopefuls.
Last season the Rumble At The Ridge for CDRA competitors was run on Hall Of Fame Classic night and saw Zach Buff visit Scott Duell Marketing & Designs victory lane driving his West End Towing & Repair, Dig Race Products, and Buff’s Auto Service Bicknell Racing Chassis number 01. Buff was joined by Caroga Lake, NY racer Tavien Blowers and Middlegrove, NY racer Taylor Wason on the podium.
Season Two (2025) points championship chase will certainly have a shakeup after the first of back-to-back CDRA points paying races at Glen Ridge. Ballston Spa, NY racer Chris Jakubiak is unsure if he’ll attend racing Sunday evening, but comes into the Rumble At The Ridge with a one-point lead over Glenville, NY hot shoe Tim Hartman Jr.
Race within a race is of course the hotly contested battle for the NOTY (Newcomer Of The Year). Right now Jakubiak stands to possibly earn that along with the series title, while he’s challenged by Canaan, CT racer Connor Crane, Johnsonville, NY racer Dave Baronowski, and Cambridge, NY racer Alex Palmer-Sawyer for the NOTY, who are all inside the top 10 in points.
“It’s going to be wild Sunday at the ridge. There will be a points shakeup guaranteed, because it’s not just a points paying race for us (CDRA), but it’s also the beginning of the DIRTcar Sportsman Modified Championship fall series. So, their best will meet up with Capital District’s best for a bull-ring battle fans won’t want to miss,” said competition director Rob Hazer.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: After Rumble At The Ridge tonight (Sunday August 3rd) CDRA returns to Glen Ridge Motorsports Park on Sunday August 10th for the Montgomery County Brawl, which was rescheduled from June 1st after rain washed out the night.
