  Arenz tests Jacksonville, hunts IRA opener

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 6, 2026 - After seven months out of the seat, Travis Arenz took the controls of his 25T 410 Sprint Car for the first time in 2026 on Friday, May 1. Following the cancellation of the scheduled Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association season opener at Wilmot Raceway on Saturday, May 2, Arenz decided to venture 365 miles south to the quarter-mile, high-banked Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., for the 2026 Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) lid lifter. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor opened the night by drawing the pole in the third 10-lap MOWA heat race. Arenz settled into second place behind fellow front row starter Zach Daum on the drop of the green flag. The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion rode the spot the rest of the way en route to a runner-up showing. Launching from the ninth starting position in the 25-lap MOWA main event, Arenz was running 13th when the first of five caution flags came out on lap 11. Following two more caution periods, Arenz lined up 11th on a lap 20 restart. He maintained the 11th spot until another yellow flag appeared with just two laps remaining. On the restart, Arenz got bottled up among a group of cars and spun in turn four. After restarting 15th, Arenz opened his 19th season of competition with a 14th-place showing. "The decision to race was to really just get some laps in this season and never being to Jacksonville, I wanted to have some laps there before heading back in June," Arenz said. "Overall, we didn't do very well. We struggled early on. I didn't make enough changes by feature time. Now, I know what direction I need to head towards when it comes to that place. "On the restart, two cars got into each other slightly, and I hammered the brakes," he said. "I turned left to avoid the guy in front of me, causing me to bring the caution out. We're looking for better results at both IRA shows this weekend." The Travis Arenz Motorsports team will fire up the 2026 IRA campaign with a doubleheader weekend at Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa, on Friday, May 8, and Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill., on Saturday, May 9. Spectator gates open at Davenport Speedway at 5 p.m. with hot laps scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. At Sycamore Speedway, spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m., hot laps start at 6:30 p.m., and racing to follow at 7:30 p.m. All IRA events are streamed live on floracing.com.
