FULTONVILLE, NY – JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA racing series presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply rolls into Glen Ridge Motorsports Park Sunday July 5th to celebrate America’s 250th birthday weekend with a Montgomery County Brawl with the DIRTcar East Sportsman Modified series racers.
Sunday marks the first of two points paying events at the fastest quarter mile on dirt, both of which are in conjunction with DIRTcar Sportsman Series racing. It also marks the beginning of a busy month for CDRA point hopefuls chasing the L.D. Bossman Championship Trophy, as the series has three races in 27 days through July and early August.
2026 will be the third running of the Montgomery County Brawl, and the fifth CDRA event at the Ridge in series history. Sunday’s show will feature the DIRTcar Sportsman Series format with timed sessions to lineup heats, a redraw for top qualifiers out of heat races, and if need be LCQ’s to set the field for 40 laps of A-Main feature racing.
There have been two winners visiting G&R Motorsports victory lane in the Montgomery County Brawl including Cody Ochs (2024) and Taylor Wason (2025). No driver has won twice, also no driver has finished on the podium twice in the Montgomery County Brawl.
There have been 70 laps of competition in the Montgomery County Brawl at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for the CDRA racing series, with only the previous winners Ochs and Wason leading laps. History has shown that for one driver, dominance is key to securing victory in the Brawl.
In the previous Montgomery County Brawl Taylor Wason took the rain delayed event win. He grabbed the lead on the opening lap and never looked back to claim his first CDRA series victory on August 10, 2025.
“We’re fresh off a crown jewel at Lebanon, which is a big half mile. Now we head to a wicked fast quarter mile where drivers are elbows up from start to finish. We expect a pretty good crop of talented racers, and we currently have 18 CDRA point regulars with perfect attendance. The brawl could be the race to change the trajectory of a racers’ season,” said competition director Rob Hazer.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Next stop for CDRA Racing Sportsman Modified series racers is Glen Ridge Motorsports Park on Sunday July 5th for the Montgomery County Brawl. The program also features the DIRTcar Sportsman East Series. Two series, one show, and multiple storylines across the division landscape. Get your popcorn ready and don’t miss it..
