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.

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.

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. Madsen without a doubt could contend for the JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA series title presented by Elmo’s Speed & Supply.
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.

GLENVILLE, NY – Tim Hartman Jr. has two CDRA points paying wins to his credit with one coming at Albany-Saratoga, and one at Lebanon Valley. He’ll contend for another in his Kick Fly’s Quality Hemp Products, Bemiss Trucking, and Midtel Innovative Solutions Mike Parillo owned DKM Cyclone Chassis number 22.
Hartman earned a 4th place finish in the Sportsman Modified Spring Shootout at Malta back in April and was set to return to the Ridge for the first time since 2018 before the rain delayed the June 1st event. His wins last season catapulted him into the top 10 in final standings. This season he’s a perennial contender for the title considering he’s been to victory lane at all three JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA series tracks presented by Elmo’s Speed & Supply.
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.

BENNINGTON, VT – Joey Scarborough has two wins this season at AS in weekly Sportsman Modified action. He’d like to earn a CDRA win driving his Central Vermont Motorcycles, Quality Property Management, and How Center Auto Papi Bandito owned Bicknell Racing Chassis number 11vt.
In the Sportsman Modified Spring Shootout at Malta back in April, Scarborough raced his way to a podium finish behind Donovan Lussier, and race winner Chris Jakubiak.

BALLSTON SPA, NY – Chris Jakubiak looks to continue his solid season and potentially score another CDRA series victory on July 25th with his CQC Painting, Vertex Property Management, and HD Concrete Construction Bicknell Racing Chassis number 49.
Jakubiak earned his first career JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA points paying series victory presented by Elmo’s Speed & Supply back in April when he won the Spring Shootout at the great race place.

FONDA, NY – Chris Jakubiak stormed to victory at Albany-Saratoga Speedway back on April 18th in the CDRA points opener. That put him in the point lead where he’d like to stay to face the challenges of racing at Glen Ridge and Lebanon Valley, two places he’s never raced before. But with a minimal crew and busy work schedule he will have to see if time permits his championship chase.
After conversation between Ballston Spa, NY racer Chris Jakubiak and JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA competition director Rob Hazer, it was learned he’s never turned laps at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park or Lebanon Valley Speedway to date in his career. Jakubiak will have to balance work, resources, and home life to make all six points paying races.
The CQC Painting, Vertex Property Management, and HD Concrete Construction Inc. series winner has Sunday June 1st circled on his schedule of racing events for his first trip to Glen Ridge when DIRTcar East Sportsman Modified Series comes to Fultonville, NY and again serves as a CDRA Series points paying race. All Jakubiak needs is time to prepare and participate.
So, what if point leader Chris Jakubiak is unable to make the next points paying race due to work commitments? It means there would be a shake up in the point standings, which isn’t new for the CDRA series presented in part by Elmo’s Speed Supply.
St-Denis-sur-Richelieu, QC racer Donovan Lussier currently holds down the runner up spot, however it’s doubtful he’s chasing Capital District titles considering he wasn’t at the great race place the last time they raced at the Malta, NY facility.
Bennington, VT racer Joey Scarborough is an unknown despite currently holding down third in points. Chances are if he rolls into The Ridge on June 1st with his Central Vermont Motorcycles, Quality Property Management, and How Center Auto Brandon Bandit Papi owned Bicknell Racing Chassis, then he’s chasing the crown.
Tim Hartman Jr. likes victory lane so much he’s made a habit of parking his Service Master Restore, Irish Trucking, and Bemiss Trucking Service Mike Parillo owned DKM Cyclone Chassis number 22 there. Already a regular at both Albany-Saratoga and Lebanon Valley, if Hartman races a pair of events at The Ridge his name will be in the title conversation.
Spencertown, NY hot shoe Dylan Madsen holds down the fifth spot in CDRA points currently. He loves to wheel and is capable of capturing a championship, so his peers wait eagerly to see if he shows up to live life on the ridge Sunday.
Some other names to keep an eye on for title town or newcomer of the year are Chris and Connor Crane, Cody Ochs, Taylor Wason, Derrick McGrew Jr., Nick Brundige, and Tavien Blowers. The rest of the drivers currently with points are unknown at this tme.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Points paying race number two Sunday June 1st at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for CDRA competitors that is also a DIRTcar Sportsman East Series event. We’ve titled this event Quarter Mile Mayhem for 2025.

05/01/25: Dylan Madsen (89) and Donovan Lussier (61L) race for top five finishing positions at Albany-Saratoga Speedway during the Spring Shootout back in April. (Showstopper Photo / CDRA 2025)
FONDA, NY – Season Two of the JAM Performance CDRA Racing Series presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply has one points paying race on the scoreboard and the top five are all new title contending names including Chris Jakubiak, Donovan Lussier, Joey Scarborough, Tim Hartman Jr., and Dylan Madsen.
Chris Jakubiak: Noticing up and coming Sportsman Modified talent in the Capital District couldn’t be done without mentioning Chris Jakubiak. He’s gone from Limited Sportsman prospect to CDRA series winner and title contender wheeling his CQC Painting, Vertex Property Management, and HD Concrete Construction Bicknell Racing Chassis number 49.
Donovan Lussier: The country of Canada is currently represented in CDRA point standings thanks to St-Denis-sur-Richelieu, QC racer Donovan Lussier. The defending Airborne Speedway Sportsman Modified champ ‘went hard in the paint’ to secure the runner up spot in standings with his Remorquage Boissonneault, SD Performance Mechanique, and Metal Express Bicknell Racing Chassis number 61L.
Joey Scarborough: Bennington, VT racer Joey Scarborough is carrying on father Don’s legacy of contending for podiums and wins. He was battle ready fighting all feature long for heavily contested positions inside the top five with his family-owned Central Vermont Motorcycles, Quality Property Management, and Howe Center Auto Bicknell Racing Chassis number 11VT.
Tim Hartman Jr: Big time little Tim was the winningest Sportsman Modified driver in the Capitaland last season, and he’s already been to victory lane in 2025. Hartman was hot and heavy into the loud pedal charging to fourth after one PPR. He is easily a title contender driving the Kick Fly’s Quality Hemp Products, Doug Wholey Ideal Excavating, and Bemiss Trucking Service Mike Parillo owned DKM Cyclone Chassis number 22.
Dylan Madsen: From the outside looking in, this kid loves to race. Madsen utilized a series of solid moves to earn a top five CDRA finish, where he currently sits in points. He used that momentum to propel himself to a weekly win driving his Madsen Overhead Doors, Riberdy Contracting, and Fox Hill Campgrounds Bicknell Racing Chassis number 89.
Hard Luck: Last season Amsterdam, NY racer Zach Buff was a CDRA title contender with his West End Towing & Repair, Dig Racing Products, and Buff’s Auto Service Ray Sefrin owned Bicknell Racing Chassis number 01. This season he was notably frustrated with a DNF and scored 28th in the finishing order to start. But the series is headed to The Ridge next where he’s a championship winner. Only 34 points out of first, this is where he could bounce back.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Focus shifts to Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for a DIRTcar Sportsman East Series event on Sunday June 1st that doubles as a CDRA points paying race dubbed Quarter Mile Mayhem.

04/19/25: Chris Jakubiak earned his first CDRA points paying win at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. (Rocky Photography / RPW 2025)
MALTA, NY – Albany-Saratoga Speedway hosted the 2025 JAM Performance CDRA Racing Series points championship opener presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply, as part of their Super DIRTcar Series 60th Season kickoff program where Ballston Spa, NY racer Chris Jakubiak was victorious taking home the Cordova Plumbing and Heating winners loot and the series point lead.
55 of the Capital Districts most talented Sportsman Modified racers met up at the Malta, NY great race place to slap clay and claim victory. After Tyler Rapp, Chris Jakubiak, Joey Scarborough, Jon Miller, and Bryce Breault won qualifying heats and Taylor Wason with Zach Buff won last chance qualifiers the field was set for the 25-lap Spring Shootout.
Chris Jakubiak wasted no time putting his CQC Painting 49 in the lead over Tyler Rapp’s Trinity Construction Inc. 2a. That left Bennington, VT racer Joey Scarborough with his Central Vermont Motorcycles 11vt to battle with Spencertown, NY racer Dylan Madsen, Malta, NY racer Jon Miller, and Queensbury, NY racer Bryce Breault for top five positions.
St-Denis-sur-Richelieu, QC racer and Airborne champion Donovan Lussier was making moves using the high side early to improve from his 7th starting position wheeling his Remorquage Boissonneault 61L battling with Albany, NY racer Jeff Washburn and his R. Bowles Heating | Plumbing 18 car.
By the 1/3 mark of the feature event, it was clear Jakubiak had a bad fast race rod. That didn’t stop Eagle Ridge, NY racer Mike Benson with his Sausville Benson Financial 33b from waging war through the field with a hard charging Glenville, NY racer Tim Hartman Jr. driving his Kick Fly’s Quality Hemp Products 22 Cyclone.
In the mid portion of the race there were multiple 3-car battles going on including one between Lussier, Miller’s Lazzaro Auto Body 12 car, and the Advanced Auto Parts 2b of Bryce Breault. All that action wasn’t slowing defending Albany-Saratoga champion Hartman Jr. from applying pressure.
Just as Jakubiak hit lap traffic, Rapp made contact with the inside retaining wall in turn one that resulted in a flat left front and a subsequent yellow flag on lap 14.
The restart didn’t treat some drivers well, as inadvertent contact between Canaan, CT racer Chris Crane Jr. and Ballston Spa, NY racer Dan Grignon resulted in a multicar accident that left Amsterdam, NY racer Zach Buff unhappy with a heavily damaged West End Towing & Repair 01 racecar.
In the closing laps Jakubiak ran away and parked it in Scott Duell Marketing Designs victory lane, while Lussier hounded Scarborough eventually taking over the runner up position. Hartman Jr. crossed the finish line 4th, with the Madsen Overhead Doors 89 of Dylan Madsen completed the top five.
Rounding out the top ten were Canaan, CT racer Connor Crane, Jon Miller, Voorheesville, NY racer Pat Jones, Rensselaer, NY racer Cody Ochs, and Bryce Breault.
NOTES: The car count was healthy, crowd huge, and racing action packed. Canaan, VT racer Connor Crane drove his Crane’s Outdoor Power Equipment 711c impressively from 15th to 6th. Voorheesville, NY racer Pat Jones had a solid run from 18th to 8th. Finally, it’s rare a Sportsman Modified race in the Capital District doesn’t have a Tim Hartman Jr. mention. He made daring moves sometimes 3-deep to climb from 13th to 4th.
TITLE WATCH: Defending CDRA champion Taylor Wason had to dig himself out of a hole, and did so respectively winning an LCQ with his Lenihan Paving 07w and finishing 14th by races end. All eyes are on Chris Jakubiak now, who sits atop the series standings after points paying race one. However, only 6 points separate the top five drivers.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: Focus shifts to Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for a DIRTcar Sportsman East Series event on Sunday June 1st that doubles as a CDRA points paying race dubbed Quarter Mile Mayhem.
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.

FONDA, NY – Known as the high side hustler behind the wheel, Scott Duell is using his knowledge of dirt track racing and education in graphic design to blaze his own entrepreneurial trail after creating his own company Scott Duell Marketing and Designs LLC adding to the Duell Family Racing legacy in the Capital District.
SD (Scott Duell) Marketing and Designs LLC is joining the JAM Performance CDRA Racing Series presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply as an integral part of the design and marketing process through their innovative ideas stemming from race car wraps to social media campaigns.
After working years for others while his family continued to grow with wife Jade, two daughters Peyton and Parker, and another bundle of joy on the way this clay pounding poppa needed to make his own hours.
“I’ve been in the design and marketing world for over 15 years. About a year ago I decided it was time for my own business. So, Duell Marketing & Designs was launched and about a year later the boat is still afloat,” said SD proprietor Scott Duell.
His skills are limitless specializing in graphic design, marketing, custom helmet artwork, racecar wraps, social media, and more.
“Like the Days Of Thunder saying, there’s nothing I can’t do with design and marketing,” Duell said.
He concluded with, “If you have a company that needs a rebrand, a racer who needs a social media presence, or even a well put together sponsor presentation then I can do those things as well.”
SD Designs and Marketing LLC is truly a one stop shop for racers or businesses who want a professional look with a personal touch that is guaranteed to catch the eye.
“I’ve known Scott for nearly 20 years. Like Chris (Recker) he’s always been supportive of projects I work on and willing to get involved. I’m glad he’s part of CDRA and we’ll get him working on some new designs for the upcoming season and who knows, maybe a sweet championship custom helmet,” said Rob Hazer, CDRA competition director.
