CDRA’s Top Point Earners Are Vastly Different Than A Year Ago After One Race
Story By: HAZER / CDRA – 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.
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.
