MSA - Midwest Sprintcar Association
MSA was founded in 1996 to create a Sprint Car class using hi-performance and durable 360 cubic inch motors that would be competitive, exciting, and affordable for a driver wanting to experience the thrill of sprint car racing. The MSA has frequently filled the stands to capacity with appearances at a total of twenty plus different tracks all around Wisconsin. With the rules focusing on driver ability and car setup, the MSA has been an attractive option for drivers looking for fun racing at a reasonable cost. An excellent mix of both experienced 410 class sprint car drivers, desiring to reduce costs, and first time drivers looking to take on the thrill of competing in a sprint car have joined the MSA. Throughout all the years MSA has continued to have car support greater than any other sprint car division within the Midwest on a nightly basis. The Midwest Sprintcar Association continues to grow and is again contending to be the largest sprint car group in the Midwest.

- Post closes 2024 campaign with truncated Plymouth run
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 1, 2024 - The 2024 season was one filled with some major highs and several disappointing lows in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car action with the curtain closing event falling into the latter category for Randy Post and the Randy Post Racing Team during the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships held Saturday, Sept. 28 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. With 25 PDTR-MSA Sprint Cars signed in for the final program of the 2024 campaign, Post qualified 19th overall with a lap of 13.246 seconds. The third-year Sprint Car racer started fifth and came home sixth in the third eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race before rolling off 20th in the 24-car A-main field. However, the main event was short-lived for Post as an incident in turn two on lap 4 ended his night and season with substantial damage to his No. 54 machine. The Oostburg, Wis. driver was the first driver to retire from the race and scored with a 24th place finish. "We made a lot of changes to our car for this weekend," Post said. "Kristian Wagner and Travis Arenz have been on my case for quite some time about trying some different things to learn what works for me. In qualifying, I couldn't see at all in turns 3 and 4 due to the sun. There were cars in front of me, so I didn't get a true feel of how it handled because I was pretty much coasting to make sure I didn't hit anyone. "In the heat race, we made even more changes," he said. "Once we got a few laps into the heat race, I felt really comfortable and felt like I was gaining ground on the people in front of me. Our night ended early in the A-main when a car spun in front of us, hit the gas instead of the brake and drove into us. We broke a lot of things in that small hit." Post ended the 2024 season with a 22nd place finish in the final PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings after competing in nine of the 13 events held at The Plymouth Dirt Track during the 2024 season. Overall, Post recorded one top-10 and two top-15 A-main showings, along with one heat race victory in 11 MSA events to end up 20th in the final 2024 MSA point standings. "This was the most challenging but rewarding year we've had," Post said. "I can't thank my crew guys and partners enough for sticking with us in the 2024 season as we have mostly returning partners. At this point, we are looking forward to doing it again in 2025." Sponsorship partners and supporters of Randy Post and the 2024 Randy Post Racing Team include Luedtke Electric, Sunset Auto, Akright Auto, Oostburg Automotive and Progress Manufacturing Inc.

- Alex Pokorski wraps 2024 campaign as PDTR 360 Sprint Car runner-up
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 1, 2024 - Alex Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team closed the curtain on the 2024 Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car season with a strong top five run during the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships to solidify a second place showing in the final PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 28. The fifth-year Sprint Car driver opened the final event of the 2024 season by qualifying second overall in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.663 seconds around the venerable third-mile clay oval. The West Bend, Wis. competitor started and finished third in the second PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association eight-lap heat race to earn the seventh starting spot in the 25-lap main event. Pokorski, who earned the 2023 PDTR and MSA Most Improved Driver Award, moved up to fourth on lap 9 and later fell to sixth following a pair of caution flags on lap 12 and 13. Over the final 10 laps, Pokorski worked primarily the high groove of the smooth, slick and multi-groove racing surface to move back into fourth place on lap 18. He held strong in the final seven laps to register a fourth place finish in a race won by 2024 PDTR and MSA champion Ben Schmidt. After collecting his sixth top five A-main showing of the 2024 season, Pokorski nailed down the runner-up spot in the final PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings, 50 points behind Ben Schmidt. Pokorski also wound up third in the final 2024 MSA 360 Sprint Car point standings behind champion Ben Schmidt and runner-up Brandon Berth. In 16 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car events during the 2024 season, Pokorski notched six top-five, 12 top-10 and 13 top-15 A-main showings. In addition, Pokorski tallied four heat race victories and two fast qualifier awards during the 2024 campaign. "It was a fun night at Plymouth to close out our season," Pokorski said. "We did well this year and secured our highest finish in the point standings to date. At this point, we plan to be racing a mix of 410 and 360 Sprint Car races in 2025." In four 410 Sprint Car starts in 2024, Pokorski compiled one top 10 A-main finish, one heat race victory and one dash appearance.

- Alex Pokorski posts solid runs in 360-410 Wilmot Sprint Car combo
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 24, 2024 - Alex Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team took on the challenge of competing in two different cars in two different divisions on back-to-back nights of competition and delivered a pair of rock-solid finishes in Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition on Friday, Sept. 20 and non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car action on Saturday, Sept. 21 at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. On the second night of the Wilmot Fall Classic at the historic three-eighths-mile semi-banked facility, Pokorski opened the MSA 360 Sprint Car program by qualifying second overall in the 21-car field with a lap of 13.864 seconds. After lining up fourth in heat race one, the 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner wound up second to nail down the fifth starting position in the 25-lap MSA main event. The West Bend competitor found the going to be on the challenging side in the initial laps of the A-main as he was shuffled back to 11th after a caution on lap 4. Over the final 15 laps of the event, Pokorski skillfully steered his way back through the field to cross the line in fifth place in a race won by Brandon Berth. "In the main event, we just needed more restarts on the outside," Pokorski said. "We kept losing spots on restarts due to being on the inside lane." One night later, Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team crew returned to Wilmot Raceway for the final night of the Wilmot Fall Classic for a non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car event on Saturday, Sept. 21. In his fourth appearance in the seat of a 410 Winged Sprint Car, Pokorski qualified seventh in the 22-car field in 13.695 seconds. The fifth-year Sprint Car racer started second in the first eight-lap heat race and went on to post his first career 410 Sprint Car heat race victory and secure a spot in the six-lap dash. After starting and finishing fourth in the dash, Pokorski nailed down an outside second-row starting spot in the 25-lap 410 Sprint Car main event. Pokorski drove a smooth and consistent race to record his first career top-10 410 Sprint Car A-main finish with a 10th place showing in a race won by Blake Nimee. "The night went as well as we could've asked for," Pokorski said. "It was great to get a heat race win. We missed the setup a bit for feature time, but if you would've offered us a 10th place finish at the beginning of the night, we would've taken it. Overall, it was a solid night." Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team are set to cap the 2024 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car campaign at the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., which will also feature the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars and IRA Lightning Sprints. Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with "on-track action" scheduled to commence at 5 p.m. The event will be available to view via live stream at floracing.com.

- Alex Pokorski takes 10th top 10, eyes MSA final two
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 3, 2024 - Akright Auto Racing Team driver Alex Pokorski overcame the challenge of steering an uncooperative car to pull out a top 10 finish in a 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event held during the annual Sheboygan County Fair Night at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31. The West Bend, Wis. competitor qualified eighth in the 27-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Association field with a lap of 12.660 seconds to earn an outside front-row starting spot in the second eight-lap heat race. The fifth-year 360 Sprint Car racer grabbed the lead from the outside front row starting spot and rolled to his fourth PDTR-MSA heat race victory of the 2024 campaign. The West Bend, Wis. competitor got off to a tough start in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event as he fell back to eighth in the running order by lap 5. After dropping to 11th around the halfway point of the event, Pokorski advanced to ninth when Bill Taylor and Tyler Davis dropped out of the event following damage incurred during an incident in turn one on lap 21. Following a single-file restart, Pokorski came home ninth in a race won by Justin Erickson. "We had a pretty solid car for the heat race and it was nice to get a win," Pokorski said. "We tried a different setup in the feature and it missed the mark. I had to fight the car most of the race. We will learn from it and move on to the next race." Alex's father, Paul, also took another turn behind the wheel of Spyder Akright's 53A machine on Saturday, Aug. 31 qualifying seventh overall with a lap of 12.557 seconds before starting third and placing second one spot behind race winner Alex Pokorski, who started third. In the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, Paul started fifth and quickly moved into third on lap 2 after sweeping past both Alex and Brandon Berth in the early going. Following a caution flag on lap 5, Paul's machine suffered a flat right rear tire in an unusual fashion following slight contact on the restart, which forced him to the work area. After rejoining the field in the 19th spot, Paul held his own over the final 20 laps to post an 18th place showing. "The car was very comfortable in qualifying and the heat race," Paul said. "We made some small changes for the feature and it was feeling pretty good. I had a little help from behind and hit the back bumper of the car in front of me. I think our bumpers hooked and my front bumper came off and I ran it over. That flattened the right rear tire. The spare bumper the crew put on in the work area was a different size, which offset the car. It was not as good after the incident. The last half of the race was just trying to finish. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise really good night." With one event remaining in the 2024 PDTR 360 Sprint Car season, Alex sits second in the points race 43 points behind points leader Ben Schmidt and five points ahead of Justin Erickson. Alex currently stands fourth in the MSA Sprints standings nine points behind the third place car of Justin Erickson, 48 points behind present runner-up Brandon Berth and 90 points in the rear of point leader Ben Schmidt with two races remaining in the 2024 season. With the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars off for the next two weekends, the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team's next scheduled race is an Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event as part of the Fall Classic at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 20. The Winged Crate Sprint Cars, Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars, A Modifieds, Street Stocks and Bandits are also on the card. Pokorski and the team will then close out the 2024 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car campaign at the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track, which will also feature the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars and IRA Lightning Sprints.

- Alex Pokorski scores top five Plymouth-MSA run, Fair Night race on tap
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2024 - With the final laps of the 2024 season in sight, Alex Pokorski and the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team crew strung together a strong top five A-main showing in a 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event Friday, Aug. 23 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. The West Bend, Wis. competitor opened the night by qualifying eighth in the 29-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Association field. After starting second in the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski came home third to earn a berth in the 25-lap headliner. The 2023 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Most Improved Award winner fired off from the outside front row starting spot in the 25-lap main event and fell back to fourth in the early going before being cycled back to fifth near the halfway point of the event. Following a red flag and two yellow flags, Pokorski utilized the third and final caution flag restart to bolt past T.J. Smith into fourth on lap 20. Pokorski maintained the fourth spot the rest of the way in a race won by Scotty Thiel. "We had a fuel leak issue in qualifying, which we fixed for the heat race," Pokorski said. "Following the heat race, we tuned up the fuel some more for the feature to get it right, along with some other adjustments to the car. The track was very nice again, which made for good racing. We lost a spot on the first two restarts by being in the wrong lane. We then got one spot back on the final restart when we started in the preferred lane. It was a solid night, just not what we needed to close up points on the guys ahead of us in the point standings." With two races remaining in the 2024 PDTR 360 Sprint Car season, Pokorski stands second, 34 points behind point leader Ben Schmidt in the chase for the season points title. Pokorski also sits third in the MSA 360 Sprint Car point standings, 34 points behind second-place Brandon Berth and 85 behind point leader Ben Schmidt with three races left in the 2024 MSA campaign.

- Post returns to PDTR-MSA field, mechanical gremlins linger
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2024 - After a month-long absence from Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition, Randy Post returned to the seat of the Randy Post Racing No. 54 machine at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Friday, Aug. 23 with hopes of building off a career-best sixth place A-main showing in his most recent PDTR appearance on Saturday, July 20. After suffering motor issues, which prevented him from turning a competitive lap in an MSA event in his most recent outing at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26, Post had been out of action for three consecutive weekends before getting back at it on Aug. 23. The third-year PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car campaigner opened the night by qualifying 20th overall in the 29-car field with a 13.194-second tour of the 74-year-old third-mile clay oval. From there, Post lined up seventh and came home seventh in the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race, which put him in the 12-lap B-main needing a top six finish to lock into the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event. Post rolled off sixth in the 12-lap PDTR MSA B main and was holding his own in the sixth position until the halfway point when he was forced to retire from the race due to a throttle linkage issue. The night came to an early end for the Oostburg, Wis. driver with an 11th place B-main finish. "The beginning of the night was a little weird because we had some issues originally that I had fixed, but we never started the car again to make sure that was the issue," Post said. "In qualifying, I was more worried about watching the temperature and listening to the motor to make sure it was running well while knowing we were in a stacked heat and starting in the back. I just wanted to try to move up as far as we could since I knew our chances of making it into the feature through the heat were very slim. "The car was handling very well in the B-main and we were holding the transfer spot," Post said. "Then the throttle linkage broke, ending our night. That's fixed now and we will work on our regular maintenance this week to be better for my favorite race night of the year during the Sheboygan County Fair." The Randy Post Racing Team is set to compete in an Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, during the 2024 Sheboygan County Fair at Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31.

- Alex Pokorski tallies IRA 410 seat time, hones in on MSA 360 home stretch
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 20, 2024 - Alex Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team tacked on a few more pages to their 410 Sprint Car notebook during the team's third start of the 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season on Sunday, Aug. 18 in the annual Corn Fest event at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. The 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner fired up the night by qualifying 22nd in the 27-car field after circling the historic third-mile clay oval in 13.858 seconds. After rolling off eighth in the first IRA eight-lap heat race, Pokorski placed ninth, which put him in the 12-lap B main needing to finish in the top six to earn an A-main berth. The West Bend, Wis. driver responded by advancing two spots from the eighth starting position to gain a berth in his second career 30-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car Series main event with a sixth place showing. Pokorski survived four race stoppages, including a red flag leading to an open red period, to move up six spots from his 24th starting perch and claim an 18th place A-main finish in a race won by Joe B. Miller. The result equaled Pokorski's 18th place showing in his first career IRA 410 Sprint Car Series A-main at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 24. "It was a fun night," Pokorski said. "I feel pretty comfortable in the 410 car. We battled with engine heat issues all night. Hopefully, we can fix that." Pokorski was scheduled to compete in a Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event on Saturday, Aug. 17, which was cancelled due to rain. The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is gearing up for the final four races of the 2024 Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association season starting with a PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car event on Friday, Aug. 23 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. The 360 Sprint Cars will be joined by the Dirt Kings Late Model Tour, as well as the PDTR Grand Nationals and B Mods for the final points night of the 2024 campaign for both divisions.

- Alex Pokorski paces strong Akright Auto Racing Team Plymouth Dirt Track effort
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 13, 2024 - The father-son driving tandem of Alex and Paul Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team turned in one of the best overall performances of the 2024 season with both drivers posting top-10 A-main showings in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 10. Alex Pokorski opened the evening by qualifying fifth overall in the 21-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car field after touring the third-mile clay oval in 12.680 seconds. After lining up fourth in the third eight-lap heat race, the fifth-year PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car competitor slipped past Billy Kreutz on lap five en route to a third-place showing. Following the 10-car invert, the West Bend driver started the 25-lap main event from the seventh starting spot. Alex took advantage of the smooth, wide and multi-groove racing surface to advance to fourth after sweeping past Tony Wondra on lap 10. A restart on lap 14, pushed Alex back to fifth in the running order, where he finished the race won by Ben Schmidt. It was Alex's third top-five main event finish and eighth top-10 showing in 12 MSA events contested thus far during the 2024 campaign. Alex heads into the final four events of the 2024 PDTR 360 Sprint Car campaign second in the chase for the division title, 27 points behind point leader Ben Schmidt. "It was a lot of fun and the track was very racey," Alex said. "I had a close call at the end when I hooked the cushion, which cost us a position or two. It ended up being a solid night." Paul Pokorski qualified seventh overall out of 21 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car entries after turning in a lap of 12.743 seconds. He started the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race outside the front row before powering around polesitter Tony Wondra to take the lead in turn two of the opening lap. The 32-year racing veteran held off T.J. Smith in the closing laps to wrap up his second heat race victory of the 2024 season. The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion took off from the fifth starting spot in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA A-main and held his own inside the top 10 throughout the event on the way to a 10th place showing, which marked his second top-10 A-main finish of the 2024 season in six events behind the wheel of Spyder Akright's 53A car. "I thought last night went okay," Paul said. "It seemed like the most consistent night we've had so far this year. The car was pretty good for qualifying, but my laps could've been a little smoother. I thought the heat race went really well. In the feature, we could've been a touch better. Overall, I'm happy with the way things went. I think for running a part-time schedule, we're doing alright. It takes a little longer to learn things and make progress when we only run some of the races. I have to thank Aaron and Fred Pederson and Dan Hoerig for all their hard work each week on the 53A car whether I'm driving or Spyder [Akright] is driving." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is gearing up for a doubleheader weekend of 360 and 410 Sprint Car racing competition. On Saturday, Aug. 17, Alex will compete with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. The program will include special guest appearances from the Midwest Legends Dirt Series and Street Stock divisions with the PDTR Grand Nationals and B Mods also featured. Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. For those unable to attend, the event will be live-streamed on www.watchfye.tv. One night later, Alex is scheduled to wheel the team's 410 Sprint Car with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. during the annual Corn Fest event. The Badger Midgets will also be on the card. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with open ceremonies slated at 6 p.m. The event will be available to view via live stream at Floracing.com.

- Alex, Paul Pokorski swap top-10s at Dodge County, Plymouth
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 30, 2024 - The last scheduled doubleheader weekend of the 2024 Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series season produced a garden variety of results while cultivating one top-10 A-main showing apiece for Akright Auto Racing Team drivers Alex and Paul Pokorski in MSA action at Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. for the seventh annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Race on Friday, July 26 and The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 27. Returning to the site of his first MSA A-main victory on June 2, 2023, Alex Pokorski timed in ninth out of the 21 entries on hand at Dodge County with a lap of 19.380 seconds on the sprawling "horsepower half-mile" facility. After starting second in the first MSA eight-lap heat race, Alex raced to his third heat race victory of the 2024 season. Following the dice roll invert, the fifth-year 360 Sprint Car racer started ninth in the 20-lap main event. The 2023 MSA and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner drove a steady race to rack up a solid seventh-place showing and nail down his sixth top-10 main event finish of the 2024 campaign in a race won by Brandon Berth. "Racing at Dodge County was fun," Alex said. "I like racing there. I got a perfect start and was able to set sail in the heat race to get the win. I wish we would've been able to finish a little better in the feature." On Saturday, July 27, Alex posted the 13th fastest qualifying lap in the 23-car Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA 360 Sprint Car field in 13.774 seconds. He then started fifth and placed fourth in the third eight-lap heat race to earn the 13th starting position in the MSA portion of the Harry Neitzel Tribute Race main event. The race got off to a rough start for Pokorski as he collided with the spinning car of Justin Erickson in turn two on lap 3, which resulted in him retreating to the work area. Following some quick crew work, Pokorski returned to the track just in time to restart the race at the rear of the field. Pokorski then put together an impressive run back to the front over the final 22 laps to secure a 12th-place showing in a race won by Kurt Davis. "Our night at Plymouth was a bit rocky," Pokorski said. "Qualifying didn't go our way. The heat race was better against tough competition. The feature did not start well with the wreck. The crew did a great job changing a shock and a radius rod to get me back out. The race after that point was fun. The track was pretty even on the top and bottom. We got back past 10 cars or so, which was good." Paul Pokorski made his fifth start of the 2024 season in the seat of Spyder Akright's 53A car for PDTR-MSA action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 27. After earning the fast qualifier award in his most recent outing in the 53A car during the rain-shortened PDTR-MSA program on Saturday, July 13, the 32-year racing veteran qualified ninth overall in the 23-car field with a lap of 13.658 seconds. Paul then lined up on the outside of the front row in the second eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race. He got a good jump at the start and led every lap en route to his first heat race victory of the 2024 campaign. Following the dice roll invert, Paul claimed the pole position in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event. After a rough start, which saw him fall back to ninth on lap six, Paul used the low groove to power back up to the fifth spot on lap 14. However, the 2024 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion lost three spots in the final stretch of the race to register an eighth-place showing, which was his first top-10 main event finish of the 2024 season. "Qualifying went okay and the result was about what I expected," Paul said. "We had a red flag during the session that negated what I think might've been my best lap, but that's the way it goes. We made some pretty significant changes before the heat race and they did what I hoped they would do and the car was really good. "In the feature, I just made the mistake of not committing to the top at the start," he said. "Instead, I decided to sort of run a slide job line into the corner through the middle. It didn't work! I ended up getting stuck in the middle with cars on both sides through one and two and lost a bunch of spots. I moved up as the race went on, and the car felt pretty good until about the last six laps. So, I started to hunt around, which was a mistake on my part again. I did get going pretty well on the top, but with only two laps or so left, there was only so much to be gained. Overall, it wasn't too bad of a night. I just hate backing up in a main event."
