- Nick is King!
Beaver Dam, WI - Nick Avelink was crowned King of the Supply Zone Shootout at the Glen Hefner Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway to kick off the start of the 2025 WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour in BMRE Electrick Carts Victory Lane. The win was Anvelink's 28th WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour victory and his second in a row at Beaver Dam Raceway. Anvelink was also the Champ Pans Fast Qualifier with a 13.657 lap. Mitch McGrath was the Ken's Sports Inc. Pole Sitter, leading the field to the green flag alongside Jordan Yaggy. McGrath led the first three laps, with Anvelink in second, as he challenged McGrath for the lead, from the top side of the track. On the fourth lap, Avenlink took the lead as they raced back to the line. Behind them, Jake Redetzke had moved to third and passed McGrath for second on lap six. Avenlink had pulled away from the pack and was approaching the tail end of the field by lap nine. Anvelnink had a 2.134 second lead on Redetzke who battled with Mike Mullen for second, as Mullen took second spot as they all worked through traffic. Avenlink maintained his lead at the halfway point and had a 3.422 second advantage over Redetzke, who took the second spot away from Mullen. Caution slowed the field with just eight laps remaining for a spin in turn four. On the restart, Anvelink retained the lead and caution slowed the field one lap later. McGrath spun in turn two, bringing out the caution and then the red flag as Paul Niznik slowed to avoid the stopped car of McGrath and then flipped as Kurt Moeller got together with Niznik. The momentum flipped Niznik in turn two, bringing out the red flag. Niznik was able to get out of his car, but it took some time to safely move the car. Anvelink jumped out to a 1.952 second lead over Redetzke, Taylor Scheffler, Yaggy and Mullen when green flag racing resumed. Anvelink went on to finish 3.213 seconds aheads of Redetzke. Scheffler finished third followed by Yaggy and Mullen. J.T. Wasmund finished sixth, followed by Justin Ritchie, Brett Swedberg, Brad Mueller and Troy Springborn. Next up for the WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour is a Double Header Weekend at Outagamie Speedway on Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24 at Shawano Speedway.

- Arenz rockets to IRA runner-up at Beaver Dam Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 30, 2025 - Travis Arenz opened his 18th overall season of competition and third full-time campaign with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series in stellar fashion by guiding his 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports team entry to an impressive second place showing in the Glenn Hepfner Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 26. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver turned in a strong seventh-place qualifying run in the 29-car field with a lap of 11.812 seconds on the high-banked third-mile clay oval. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion turned an outside front row starting position in the first 8-lap IRA heat race into his first heat race victory of the 2025 campaign. Arenz then started on the pole in the second 4-lap IRA dash before coming home second to gain the fourth starting spot in the 30-lap headliner. A wide, slick, multi-groove racing surface proved to be right in Arenz's wheelhouse as he battled among the lead group of Jake Neuman, Blake Nimee and Scotty Thiel throughout the race. After dueling back and forth with Nimee and Thiel inside the top 10, Arenz finally seized control of the runner-up spot in the closing laps and held on to nail down a second place showing behind race winner Jake Neuman. "Overall, I'm pleased with how the night went," Arenz said. "I qualified decent, won my heat race and drew the pole for the dash. That's pretty much my ideal night. I was happy with how the track progressed throughout the night. It made for good multi-lane racing for the feature. I felt like the car was really good. I can definitely see the 25T being in victory lane this season. To do that, I think I need to be a little more aggressive in traffic than I was on Saturday night." Next up for the Travis Arenz Motorsports team is the IRA Dick Colburn Classic Open Wheel Spectacular at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 3. Non-Wing Crate Sprint Cars, Winged Crate Sprint Cars and Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Pit gates open at 2 p.m., and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. Hot laps will begin at 5:45 p.m., and racing will begin at 6:45 p.m. In the event of rain, Sunday, May 4 is the listed rain date.

Travis Arenz Motorsports Sponsor Showcase - Don and Lynn Kiel Don and Lynn Kiel's first date came when they attended a race at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. in June 1998 and they have been together ever since, marrying on Feb. 14, 2005. Lynn spent her working career in the banking industry retiring after 39 years in 2017 as an assistant vice-president at a local Manitowoc bank. Lynn's interest in racing started when she attended the races at the 141 Speedway as a child with her dad, Andy Endries. RIP ANDY! Don's interest in racing started when he bought Dean Divine's Modified in the early 1970s. Don's driving experience involved Modifieds and Mini Sprints, as well as 360 Sprint Cars at Manitowoc Expo Speedway in 2011 and 2012. Don spent four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting the night of his graduation party. He was honorably discharged after four years in 1967 as an Airman First Class. Don was a Minuteman Missile electrician serving as team chief his last year and got to take part in the test firing of four Minuteman Missiles at Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc, Calif. Don was based at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. for 41 months. Don started flying in Cheyenne at the age of 19, secured his first flying job three days after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force at age 22 and retired at age 60. He retired as Senior Captain on the 300-passenger Airbus A 330-300 flying to London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. He has logged over 30,000 hours of flying time with a lot of stories to tell. For a glimpse of Don's career, Google Don Kiel Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame.

Don and Lynn continue to fly his 1952 Cessna 170B, both on wheels and skis in the winter. Don loves to say, "It's pretty cool when your vocation and avocation are one and the same!" "We started out sponsoring Travis Arenz by buying him a set of rear tires five years ago and the rest is history," Don Kiel said. "Travis is a very talented racer from the tiniest detail to the actual racing. I love to watch Travis feel the track out and then work his magic. I sponsor Travis as I feel he is one of the best!"

Bowman stayed up front after two more yellows for spins by Dylan Westbrook and Ashton VanEvery. Darren Dryden took the second spot away from Heard after the VanEvery spin on lap 12, and stayed with Bowman through the second half of the race. Bowman had to fight off challenges from Dryden as the pair raced through traffic, until a spin by Matt Farnham with two laps remaining brought out the yellow flag. The subsequent single-file restart gave Bowman a chance to lock down the win, and he drove on to claim his first 360 Sprint Car win at Merrittville; all of Bowman's previous 360 Sprint Car wins had come at Ohsweken Speedway. Dryden took the runner-up position, while Heard rounded out the podium with his best career finish. Todd Hoddick and DJ Christie took the remaining spots in the top five, while Jordan Poirier, Ryan Turner, Dylan Westbrook, Allan Downey, and Eric Gledhill finished in the top ten. DJ Christie claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Travis Cunningham was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. 14-year-old rookie Skylar Evans made his Sprint Car debut on Saturday, running second fastest in his Timed Hot Lap group and advancing from 20th to finish 14th in the feature. A total of 22 drivers from Ontario, Quebec, and New York made the trip to Merrittville. The SOS organization would like to thank all the fans, track officials, and race teams who braved cold temperatures and a questionable weather forecast to put on a great show. Next on the SOS schedule is a Gold Crown Super series race at Buxton Speedway on June 7 paying $5,000-to-win and $500-to-start.

- Pokorski surges to solid showing in 2025 IRA opener
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 29, 2025 - In his first full season of 410 Sprint Car competition, Alex Pokorski crafted a smooth start to the 2025 season behind the wheel of the No. 4 Akright Auto machine at the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series Glenn Hepfner Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 26. The West Bend native, who recorded a runner-up showing in the 2024 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car point standings, opened the night by timing in 21st in the 29-car field with a lap of 12.110 seconds around the high banked third-mile clay oval. After rolling off seventh in the third 8-lap IRA heat race, Pokorski advanced two spots to place fifth and claim a direct transfer spot into the 30-lap A main. The sixth-year Sprint Car competitor started 17th in the IRA headliner before dropping back to 20th in the early going. He then rallied in the second half of the race to advance six positions and nail down an IRA career-best 14th place A-main showing in just his fifth career 410 Sprint Car start. "It was fun to have the team back together and to be racing again," Pokorski said. "We put down a solid benchmark to try to improve upon. The team did well with getting the car set up and adjusting as the track changed throughout the night. "I'm still getting used to the 410 car, so I learned a few things," he said. "I could have done better in qualifying. When you qualify well, that makes the rest of the night easier. Hopefully, we can do that this week at Wilmot." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete in the IRA Dick Colburn Classic Open Wheel Spectacular at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 3. Non-Wing Crate Sprint Cars, Winged Crate Sprint Cars and Lightning Sprints are also on the card.
