- Arenz rebounds with sterling top five Cedar Lake Richert run
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 11, 2024 - Six days after crashing out of contention for a top finish at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team bounced back in a major way with a sterling performance in the prestigious 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 7. After forgoing the IRA's stop at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 6 to allow extra time to button up his 25T entry following The Hill wreck, Arenz opened the $7,000-to-win Richert Memorial event by qualifying 24th in the 32-car field with a lap of 11.787 seconds. The 17th-year competitor then advanced from the sixth starting position to nab a fourth place showing the fourth eight-lap IRA heat race and secure a spot in the 30-lap headline event. "After finding significant frame damage on our main car, we used the spare car at Cedar Lake," Arenz said. "One of our other motors got completed on Friday as well, so I was able to pick that up to put in the spare car. I was pretty frustrated with our qualifying results at Cedar Lake. I'm not used to driving the backup car as much as my main car and it handles differently. "In the heat race, I knew I needed to at least pass one car and stay in that position," he said. "The track kept having more and more moisture come out as the night progressed, so I needed to be strategic with what lines I ran and when. I did make a mistake and spun during the heat, but I was able to come back and earn a transfer position to the feature." The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started 16th and wasted little time moving to the front of the top quality-filled field. True to his hard-charging style, Arenz utilized every available racing line to slice his way to the front of the pack. In the closing stages of the race, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor found himself dueling with several 410 Sprint Car racing heavy hitters, including Scotty Thiel, Joel Myers Jr., Kerry Madsen and Justin Henderson. Arenz used strong restarts in the closing stages of the race to pull out a strong fourth place showing and earn hard charger honors after advancing 12 spots in a race won by Danny Sams III. The fourth place finish marked Arenz's fifth top five and 10th top 10 showing in 15 IRA events during the 2024 campaign. "I thought a lot about what changes I wanted to make for the feature," Arenz said. "With the amount of moisture, the track still had come feature time, there were different things I could adjust to achieve similar reactions of the car. My biggest goal for the night was to finish a feature with this car. In all the times it has raced, I have never finished a race with it. So, it was huge to not only complete a feature but also earn the hard charger award." The 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports Team is scheduled to compete with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 14. Following a rain out on May 26, the event is set to be the lone scheduled IRA appearance at 141 Speedway in 2024. The IRA Lightning Sprints, IMCA Sport Mods and Pro Legends are also on the card with spectator gates opening at 3 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6 p.m. All 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

- Hartmann experiences highs, lows in IRA northwestern jaunt
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 11, 2024 - Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing crew traversed the twists and turns of life on the road with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series to the broadest extent with a shimmering start and a disheartening finish in a two-race tour of northern and western Wisconsin at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior on Friday, Sept. 6 and Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond on Saturday, Sept. 7. The weekend opened at the four-tenths-mile high-banked Gondik Law Speedway in Superior for the annual Northern Nationals on Friday, Sept. 6 where Hartmann began the night with the 13th fastest qualifying time in the 25-car field with a lap of 15.531 seconds. The Plymouth, Wis. driver then started and finished fifth in the first eight-lap IRA heat race to earn the 13th starting position in the 25-lap main event. Hartmann survived an attrition-filled main event, which saw just 12 competitors cross the finish line, with a solid sixth place effort behind race winner Danny Sams III. It was Hartmann's eighth top 10 A-main finish of the 2024 season and fourth straight IRA main event in which he improved positions from the start to the finish of the race. The 87A Hartmann Racing Team traveled to three-eighths-mile high-banked Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 7 for the prestigious 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial with a $7,000 first-place prize on the line. On the way to the track, the 87A Hartmann Racing Team encountered misfortune when the team's transport rig collided with horses gathered on the road. While the collision caused damage to the team's truck and trailer, all team members escaped injury. Once on track at Cedar Lake, the 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner qualified 20th in the 32-car field with a lap of 11.568 seconds before placing sixth after starting fifth in the fourth eight-lap heat race. Hartmann then advanced to the 24-car Jerry Richert Memorial main event with a second place showing in the 12-lap IRA B main after starting the pole. After starting 22nd, the fifth-year Sprint Car competitor moved up seven spots and was running in 15th position when the motor in his 87A machine expired on lap 28. He was credited with a 17th place finish in the 30-lap event, which went to Danny Sams III. "Friday at Gondik Law didn't start the greatest with a bad qualifying performance, but we were able to pass some cars in the feature and come out with a good finish," Hartmann said. "On the way to Cedar Lake, we got into a road accident, which was not a good experience. I'm glad everyone walked away alright and nobody was hurt. We blew up a motor in the A main at Cedar Lake on Saturday night. We will get things figured out for Saturday at 141." Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team are scheduled to compete with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 14. Following a rain out on May 26, the event is set to be the lone scheduled IRA appearance at 141 Speedway in 2024.

- IOWA BOUND: MLRA SET FOR "HAWKEYE LAND 40" & "CORN STATE NATIONALS"
Wheatland, Missouri (September,10 2024) - The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will venture into Eastern Iowa this weekend for another trio of races, marking the series only Hawkeye State appearance of the season. With nine nights of racing remaining, this upcoming weekend of short track racing presents another critical stretch in the championship battle. For the first time in series history race teams will converge on the Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, IA on Thursday night September 12th. Thursday nights MLRA event is a make-up following an early April wash out. K-Promotions will present the inaugural $5,000 to win "Hawkeye Land 40" on the ¼ mile semi banked dirt oval which rest on the grounds of the Cedar County Fairgrounds, just about 30 minutes northeast of Iowa City, IA. The Eastern Iowa facility has hosted a limited number of regional Late Model events in recent years, with the majority of those being under the former IMCA Derry Brothers sanction. Wheatland, Iowa's Justin Kay has been the dominating force in recent stops, accumulating five wins to lead all drivers. Current MLRA point leader Chad Simpson was a 2010 winner under the former Corn Belt Clash Series banner, and brother Chris is a two-time Cedar County winner with victories coming in 2011 & 2012. While the bullring is known for serving as an equalizer and showcasing driving talent, it also has the potential for once again opening the door to another first time MLRA winner. Bull ring action will continue Friday night September 13th, when the MLRA invades the Davenport Speedway located on the grounds of the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. The first annual running of the "Corn State Nationals" presented by SR Promotions, will feature two complete nights of racing in Davenport, IA with Friday nights opener paying $5,000 to win. The weekend will conclude on Saturday night when the winners take will increase to $10,000 to win and $700 to start. Chad Simpson grabbed the win one year ago in the MLRA's most recent Davenport stop. Prior to Simpson's 2023 triumph, the ¼ mile produced back-to-back first time MLRA winners in hometown driver Spencer Diercks in 2022 and Ricky Thornton Jr. in 2021. The top three drivers in MLRA Championship standings each scored their first MLRA victories of the season over the recent Labor Day weekend. Chris Simpson and Tony Jackson Jr. both captured wins at the Lucas Oil Speedway, while four time series champion Chad Simpson collected a $10,000 payday in the 4th Annual Wiener Nationals at the Moberly Motorsports Park to conclude the weekend. While Chad Simpson was able to open up some breathing room in the last weekend of action, the battle for second is as wide open as it gets, with only 50 points separating drivers in positions 2 - 5.

- Ethan Barrow Wins Saturday Preliminary Feature at the IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car Nationals
Ethan Barrow won the preliminary feature event during the second night of the IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car Nationals at Eagle Raceway.
- THREE CARS AT TWO DIFFERENT TRACKS FOR SEXTON GATLIN RACING THIS SATURDAY
(Lakeside, CA, August 15, 2024) This Saturday night is going to be a busy one for the Sexton Gatlin Racing team. The longtime Lakeside, California-based racing squad will have three cars in action. However, there is a catch. Brent Sexton and his 20-year-old son Grant will be racing in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Brother Brett Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. Flat track motorcycle racer Braydin Collie will be racing 89 miles away with the SoCal Lightning Sprints at the Barona Speedway. For the second time in 2024, Brent Sexton, 52, and Grant raced at the recently reopened Santa Maria Speedway last Saturday in the USAC/CRA Series. They, along with 22 other cars, converged on the 1/3 mile banked clay oval. Grant kicked things off when he toured the famous track in 13.560. That was good enough for the eighth-fastest qualifying time of the 24 cars present. Brent stopped the Kenny Poplin clock at 13.997. That was the 18th fastest in the tightly packed field. Heat race action was kind to the family duo. Grant was up first when he rolled off the fourth spot in the second 10 lap heat race. The 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year pushed his pretty number 22 car to a second place finish. Moments later, Brent started the final 10-lapper on the pole. The wily veteran, who has three lightning sprint car championships to his name, finished in third place. Grant had a good starting spot in the main on the outside of row four. However, he was rocked by bad luck again. In turn one on the first lap, the two cars in front of him touched wheels. One got sideways, leaving Grant nowhere to go, and he clipped the car. That took out his front end. As he continued down the track, he was hit by several other cars before he got to the infield. The damage was extensive, and the effervescent young driver was out with a 23rd-place finish. Brent, who races a Triple X powered by a former Rico Abreu 360 in the USAC/CRA Series, began the main event in 18th and finished 14th. Thus far in 2024, Brent has made six appearances at Perris. His best finish was a ninth at the last race there on July 13th. Grant has raced on the famous half-mile clay oval five times this season, and his best finish was a sixth on June 22nd. Coming into this week's race, Brent is 13th in the season-long USAC/CRA standings and third in the Rookie of the Year chase. He is only five points out of 12th in the yearlong points count and the same number of markers out of second in the R.O.Y. standings. Grant comes into the night 15th in USAC/CRA. Collie will be starting only his third lightning sprint car race in the Sexton Gatlin #44 at the Barona Speedway. Two weeks ago in only his second race, he was the main event "Hard Charger," passing more cars than anybody else and going from 13th to fifth. Earlier in his heat race, he went from the back to finish third. He comes into Saturday's battle at Barona 24th in SCLS points. To see Brent and Grant in action in the Brother Brett Classic at Perris, the spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM, and the first race will begin promptly at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $25.00. Kids six to twelve get in for only $5.00, and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy tickets in advance, there will be plenty available at the ticket window on Saturday. The track is located on the freeway close Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. In addition to the SCLS Series seventh round Saturday at Barona, the IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Compacts, IMCA Stock Cars, Dwarf Cars, Pure Stocks, Mini Dwarfs, and Junior Sprints. Gates will open at 2:00 p.m., with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. For kids 7 to 17, admission is $10.00. Seniors, Military, and EMTs also get in for $10.00. Children 6 and under are free. Family packs of two adults and two kids are $50.00. Parking is free. The Barona Speedway is located at 1754 Wildcat Canyon Road in Lakeside, California.

- Bud Kaeding wins one for Davy on Friday at Ocean Speedway
Watsonville, CA…On a night that he performed a Memorial Lap for the late Davy Thomas, former Ocean Sprints champion Bud Kaeding capped the event by claiming his second victory of the 2024 campaign. Kaeding grabbed the lead early on and held off a fast Caeden Steele to earn the emotional triumph. In victory lane, the veteran dedicated his win to Davy, who grew up a big fan of the multi-time Silver Crown champ. It was also the final tune-up prior to next week's Johnny Key Classic, with purse details included at bottom of this story. Ocean Speedway also honored the late Diane Morgan on Friday night with a very special Memorial Lap and extra money on the line for the IMCA Modifieds. At the end it was Salinas driver Cody Burke making a late pass for the $1,000 grand prize. Sharing victory lane on Friday were Tracy's KC Keller with the IMCA Sport Mods and Ocean point leader Joe Gallaher with the Hobby Stocks. The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature began with the night's fast qualifier Jake Haulot jumping into the lead. The track surface was in phenomenal shape and lent itself to some excellent racing in all classes. Kaeding utilized a beautiful move to slice his way into the top spot on lap four and then rode the cushion to perfection. Northern Auto Racing Club Rookie of the Year contender Caeden Steele made a rare Ocean Sprints start and moved into second place on lap 11. Steele kept Kaeding within striking distance on several restarts and made it a race for the lead as it wound down. Kaeding hit his marks to perfection though and crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag for victory over Steele. Riverdale's Grant Duinkerken made a wild final corner pass upstairs to take third at the line over Joey Ancona and Haulot. The 25-lap IMCA Modified feature in memory of Diane Morgan started with Fred Lind battling it out with Austin Burke up front. Burke took command on lap two but soon felt intense pressure from Cody Burke after moving into second on lap eight. The Burke boys kept fans on the edge of their seats while racing closely together for the duration of the contest. Coming to the white flag Austin slipped up just enough to allow an opening for Cody, who took full advantage, slipping to his inside and taking over the point. Cody Burke went on to tally the victory over Austin, Lind, Jacob Mallet Jr. and a very racy Robert Marsh. The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale saw Mike Gill lead the opening lap, until getting crossed up in turns one and two, looping it around. Recent winner KC Keller then found himself out front and had his way with things, en route to his second triumph of the Ocean Speedway year. Point leader Emali VanHoff crossed the stripe in second, ahead of Brian Baggett, Steven Allee and Chuck Golden. The 20-lap Hobby Stock main event was all about defending track champion and current point leader Joe Gallaher. The Virginia native got out front and raced to his sixth victory of the season at the quarter mile. Track favorite Terry Campion returned to action on Friday and brought home a solid runner up finish, with the top-five rounded out by Bobby Gallaher, Adriane Frost and Norm Ayers. Ocean Speedway now gears up for the two-night running of the 64th Johnny Key Classic. Opening night on Friday hands out $2,000 to the Ocean Sprints winner, while Saturday's finale is $3,000 to win; $1,000 for second and $800 for third. Each night will be a guaranteed $300 to start the main event. Extra money will also be on the line for fast time and hard charger both nights in memory of JP Morgan, who considered the Key Classic to be his favorite event.

- Following hiatus, Arenz returns to IRA action for three-race western swing
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 24, 2024 - After sitting on the sidelines for nearly six weeks with motor issues, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsport Team got back in the saddle again for the three-race Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Northern Outlaw Sprint Association swing through Minnesota and North Dakota Thursday, July 18 through Saturday, July 20. In his first appearance at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn., Arenz opened the tripleheader race weekend by qualifying third in Flight A and 13th overall in the 36-car field with a lap of 14.345 seconds on the three-eighths-mile clay oval on Thursday, July 18. The 17th-year competitor finished seventh after starting third in the third eight-lap IRA-NOSA heat race before starting second and finishing third in the 12-lap B main to earn a spot in the 25-lap headliner. After starting 23rd, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion moved up nine spots to place 16th in a race won by Mark Dobmeier. One night later, the team moved on to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. for the first of back-to-back nights at the high-banked quarter-mile clay oval. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver clocked in fifth in Flight A and sixth overall in the 40-car field in IRA-NOSA qualifying with a time of 10.393 seconds. He then started and finished second in the first IRA-NOSA eight-lap heat race to advance to the 30-lap main event. Arenz fired off from the 11th starting spot and improved three positions to record a solid eighth place finish in another race won by Mark Dobmeier. In the final night of the three-race swing at River Cities Speedway on Saturday, July 20, Arenz turned in the ninth fastest qualifying time in Flight A and 23rd in overall qualifying in 10.668 seconds. He then finished second from the fifth starting spot in the first eight-lap IRA-NOSA heat race to claim the 11th starting position in the 35-lap headliner. Fourteen laps into the event, Arenz's evening ended following an incident in turn three while running 11th. He was credited with a 22nd place finish. "I was definitely going crazy without being able to compete for the last handful of weeks, but I was thankful to be able to go to a new track and return to River Cities last week," Arenz said. "I would like to say driving a Sprint Car is like riding a bike. In some ways it is. However, there are a lot of things that go into our operation that benefit us much more when we compete weekly. "As for my performance, I would have preferred a better outcome," he said. "Our crew was smaller than normal, so the few people we had were asked to take on more responsibility. I missed some of my marks on the track, and I missed the set ups a touch. But all in all, I'm glad to be back at the track competing." The Travis Arenz Motorsports team is scheduled to compete in a doubleheader weekend with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, which kicks off with the annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26.

Minn. on Thursday, July 18. After starting and finishing second in the second IRA-NOSA eight-lap heat race, Hartmann was involved in an unusual incident before the start of the 25-lap main event, which resulted in contact with the car of Laela Eisenschenk, which had spun out on the four-wide parade lap. Following a trip to the work area to change a right rear tire, Hartmann started the event at the rear of the field in the 23rd position. The third-year IRA competitor drove a consistent and level-headed race while negotiating four more caution periods to come home 14th in a race won by Mark Dobmeier. One night later, the team traveled to Grand Forks, N.D. for the first half of back-to-back weekend events at the high-banked quarter-mile River Cities Speedway on Friday, July 19. Hartmann qualified second in Flight B and seventh overall in the 40-car field with a lap of 10.416 seconds before starting fourth and finishing fifth in the fourth eight-lap IRA-NOSA heat race. After lining up on the pole of the first four-lap IRA-NOSA dash, Hartmann posted his first career dash victory and the initial pole position of his Sprint Car career for the evening's 30-lap main event. Following two false starts, Hartmann accelerated into the lead on the opening lap to pace an A-main race for the first time in his five-year Sprint Car career. The Plymouth, Wis. racer remained at the point for the first 11 laps before eventual race winner Mark Dobmeier maneuvered around Hartmann to gain the top spot on lap 12. After Scotty Thiel and Andy Pake slipped past the 87A machine during the final three laps, Hartmann recorded his initial top-five main event finish by coming home with a career-best fourth place A-main finish. In the final event of the team's three-race western swing at River Cities Speedway on Saturday, July 20, Hartmann qualified 12th in Flight B and 20th overall in the 42-car field with a lap of 10.644 seconds.

"Man, it felt good for our team to finally put together a solid night at River Cities on Friday night," Hartmann said. "I would've liked to have been a couple of spots better, but a solid fourth place finish is pretty damn good. We were starting to think we couldn't even buy luck. The weekend had its ups and downs with me having two weeks out of the seat and getting familiar with a brand-new car. "I'd say we're onto something good," he said. "I'm so proud of this team for how far we have come. We've battled with multiple problems throughout the season, but that's racing. We're knocking on the door for that first win. I'm excited for a couple of nights of racing back home this weekend."

- Post delivers career-best PDTR 360 Sprint Car performance
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 23, 2024 - In his third season behind the wheel of a Sprint Car, Randy Post established not one, but two career firsts in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 20. Post opened his breakout night by turning in the 12th fastest qualifying lap in the 23-car field in a time of 13.793 seconds. The Oostburg, Wis. driver then lined up on the pole of the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race and went on to lead every lap on the way to his first career heat race victory in the seat of a 360 Sprint Car. The 10-car main event inversion dice roll landed Post on the pole of the 25-lap PDTR-MSA A-main. The former Street Stock competitor settled into second in the running order behind eventual race winner T.J. Smith on the opening lap of the main event. Post maintained the runner-up spot through the first 13 laps until Ben Schmidt took over second on lap 14. As the leaders worked through thick lapped traffic, Brandon Berth snuck past to move Post to third when a red flag was displayed after Ben Schmidt hit the turn three wall and flipped on lap 18. The final seven laps saw Justin Erickson, Alex Pokorski and T.J. Haddy slip past before Post came home with a career-best sixth place A-main showing. "We didn't really do a whole lot different for qualifying," Post said. "We changed our starting stagger and just went into it with a mentality to go out and see what happens. The heat win was a first in the Sprint Car. We had a few heat wins in the Street Stock in 2021. But those didn't feel nearly as good as this one did. "After watching the track evolve throughout the rest of the heat races, I knew no matter what kind of track work they did, it was going to dry out," he said. "I was hoping the track would be smooth, so we tried some new shock adjustments and a few different small adjustments to the car with a goal of finishing in the top five, while trying not to put too much pressure on getting a particular result. We just wanted to have fun and try out some new adjustments. I was very pleased with the way the race went and I was very, very pleased with the results." The Randy Post Racing Team will return to action with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series for the annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26. The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and IMCA Modifieds will also be in action.

- Pokorski nets top-five, vaults to peak of PDTR 360 Sprint Car heap
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 23, 2024 - As the 2024 racing season traverses the half-way point, the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team appears to be hitting its stride. In a season hindered by rainouts and curfew-infringed events, Pokorski completed the team's fourth full night of competition in 11 tries with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars by turning in a strong fourth place A-main performance at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 20 to move to the top step in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car points standings. The fifth-year Sprint Car driver opened the night by qualifying ninth overall in the 23-car field with a lap of 13.707 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. After the scheduled outside front row starter scratched from the race, the West Bend, Wis. driver moved up a spot to roll off from the outside front row starting position in the first eight-lap PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association heat race. The 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Most Improved Driver Award winner ducked low to slip past polesitter Scott Conger and take the lead in the second turn of the opening lap. Pokorski cruised from there to post his second PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race victory of the 2024 campaign. A 10-car inversion saw Pokorski start fourth in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main. Pokorski drove a smooth race on the smooth, dry and multi-groove racing surface while hovering between third and sixth in the running order. When the leaders hit heavy lapped traffic on lap 14, Pokorski skillfully weaved through a gaggle of slower cars to secure the fifth spot before a red flag appeared on lap 18 when Ben Schmidt collided with the turn three wall and flipped. When the race resumed, Pokorski was able to pick up one more spot as he worked his way past Randy Post to secure fourth on lap 21. The new PDTR 360 Sprint Car points leader held on over the final four laps to secure a fourth-place finish, which marked his second top-five and fifth top-10 main event showing of the 2024 PDTR-MSA season. "We had good speed all night," Pokorski said. "I needed to find the top a little sooner near the end of the feature. If I had found it a lap or two sooner, we could've finished third. It's fun to race back and forth with some of the guys. I think the competition has improved a bit this year, so it has required us to work harder to get top-five finishes. I'm looking forward to the doubleheader this weekend." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete in a doubleheader weekend with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series starting with the annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26. The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and IMCA Modifieds will also be in action. Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with warm-ups at 6 p.m. and hot laps to follow before opening ceremonies at 7:15 p.m. The team's double dip racing weekend wraps up at The Plymouth Dirt Track with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday, July 27. The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Sheboygan Flooring B Mods are also on the card. Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with "on-track action" scheduled to commence at 5:30 p.m. Sponsors and supporters for the 2024 Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team include Akright Auto, Mulch Express of Wisconsin, Lynch Buick GMC West Bend, Countryside Designs, Goeden Auto Body, Petersen Septic Systems, Wisconsin Bank and Trust, Professional Plating, Ace Hardware (Kiel and Sheboygan Falls locations), Cedar Valley Hunt Club, Real Estate Property Shop-Sue Erdmann, Bonafide Security Solutions, Novak's Service Center, RC Custom Design and Pedal Down Promotions.
