AJ Lesiecki of AJD Racing will be presenting at the upcoming Winter Lecture Series at the Gilmore Car Museum (details below).
AJD Racing continues to support Supermodified Racing in every way possible by promoting off season and during racing season in most instances with two cars. AJD Racing is a “family” deal with both AJ and Jonathon (brothers) taking their engineering degrees into the race shop with both building and maintaining race cars twelve months out of the year. They are lucky to have such supportive families (Diana, Mary, Davis, and Brandy) enabling them to carry on the love for Supermodifieds from their Dad, David Lesiecki.
Fellow car owners “thank you” AJD Racing for representing!

The newly merged ISMA/MSS Supermodified Series is pleased to announce our last TBD on our race schedule. We are partnering with the Gill family and Nick Czerow of the Evans Mills Raceway Park for our Championship Night on Saturday, September 16, 2023. What a way to end our season at a new racetrack with our first ever ISMA/MSS Champion.
The new championship race for ISMA/MSS will join the annual John Burr Classic Weekend at EMRP. Burr, a loved presence in northeastern motorsports shined as a track announcer for Evans Mills since the inception of the track. Burr was also the voice of the Can-Am Speedway and Super Dirt Week at the NYS Fairgrounds. EMRP dedicated their final racing weekend to John Burr in 2019 to honor his generosity, character, and love for racing in the North Country.
EMRP owner Peggy Gill stated “ISMA/MSS’s addition to the John Burr Classic Weekend brings our racing to the next level for our fans and our facility as we continue to build our future. As a team, we look forward to providing another first-class experience for the series, teams, and spectators.”
General manager Nick Czerow added “We are proud to be able to support the newly merged ISMA/MSS Series and host their championship race with all the biggest names in supermodified racing. I’m looking forward to our crowd seeing a new track record set and enjoying a great weekend of racing.”
The addition of ISMA/MSS now brings the John Burr Classic Weekend to seven divisions of racing:
The Evans Mills Raceway Park is a 3/8th mile asphalt oval located adjacent to the US Army’s Ft. Drum and 15 minutes outside of Watertown, NY. The facility is handicap accessible and includes 54 hospitality suites available for rental during race weekends. For more information on suite rentals or the annual John Burr Classic contact EMRP at [email protected] or (315) 323-6033.
We are super excited with our schedule this year, as we hope you are too! Please be sure to mark those calendars as we gear up for our race season We sure do hope to see you at the races!
