- Hartmann's River Cities Speedway top 10 highlights IRA western road trip
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 19, 2023 - Three straight nights of racing on two different tracks against a tough band of local 410 Sprint Car competitors 621 miles away from home is the test Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team took on gladly, during a tripleheader weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association (IRA) 410 Sprint Car Series versus Northern Outlaw Sprint Association (NOSA) action at 1-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn. Thursday, July 13 and River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15. The three-race weekend fired up Thursday, July 13 with the IRA's first visit to the high-banked three-eighth mile I-94 emr Speedway facility. The Plymouth, Wis. competitor opened the night strong by qualifying fourth overall in the stout 38-car field with a lap of 14.029 seconds. The 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner started third in the second eight-lap IRA heat race before dropping back to fifth. Hartmann recovered to pass Gage Pulkrabeck on lap 7 to secure a fourth place finish and earn a spot in the 30-lap main event. After starting 13th in the IRA-NOSA headliner, Hartmann fell back to 18th on lap 18 before three caution and red flag periods helped him move up to 14th on lap 27. However, Hartmann dropped out of the event in the closing laps and was scored 19th in a race won by Mark Dobmeier. The action moved further Northwest to the high-banked quarter-mile River Cities Speedway clay oval in Grand Forks, N.D. for the first half of the two-night IRA versus NOSA Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings event. With a 36-car field on hand, Hartmann qualified 11th overall with a lap of 10.943 seconds before starting on the pole of the second IRA-NOSA heat race and leading all eight laps to notch his second heat race victory of the 2023 season. The heat race victory earned Hartmann his fourth IRA dash appearance of the 2023 campaign. After lining up third in the first four-lap IRA-NOSA dash, Hartmann finished fourth to earn the seventh starting spot in the 30-lap A main. Hartmann moved up from his seventh starting spot to assume sixth on lap 12. The second-year 410 Sprint Car competitor hovered around the seventh and eighth positions over the last half of the event before coming home with a 10th place finish to secure his fifth top-10 A-main finish of the 2023 campaign in a race won by Mark Dobmeier. The three-race western swing concluded with the second half of the Buffalo Wild Wings IRA-NOSA King of the Wings event at River Cities Speedway on Saturday, July 15. With 37 cars registered for the event, Hartmann qualified seventh with a lap of 10.822 seconds before starting on the pole and finishing third in the first 10-lap IRA-NOSA heat race. Hartmann rolled off 13th in the 30-lap main event and went on to cap off the weekend with a 20th place finish in a race won by Austin Pierce. "It was a great weekend overall for the team and myself," Hartmann said. "We built a lot of confidence on the slick tracks." Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team will return to racing closer to home as it visits Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. for a Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Car Series event during the Outagamie County Fair on Friday, July 21.

- Arenz hangs tough in first tripleheader road trip of rookie IRA 410 Sprint Car campaign
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 19, 2023 - In their 16th year of competition, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team experienced something new, as they embarked on the first multi-state tripleheader racing weekend road trip of their rookie season with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series Thursday, July 13 at I-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn. and Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15 at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. The three-race stand of IRA versus Northern Outlaw Sprint Association (NOSA) events rolled off with the IRA's initial visit to I-94 emr Speedway, a three-eighth mile high-banked facility in Fergus Falls, Minn., with a strong field of 38 competitors on hand on Thursday, July 13. In his first competitive laps at I-94 emr Speedway, Arenz started the night by qualifying 20th overall with a lap of 15.118 seconds. The 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion started on the pole of the fourth eight-lap IRA-NOSA heat race before outside front row starter Mark Dobmeier moved Arenz back to second in turn two of the opening lap. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver then held off Jade Hastings to earn an A-main transfer spot with a second place showing. After starting 14th in the 30-lap IRA-NOSA main event, Arenz was running in the 13th position when he slowed to bring out a caution flag on lap 13. After retiring from the race with a broken throttle linkage, Arenz was scored 23rd in the final running order in a race won by Mark Dobmeier. "Once again, drawing for qualifying was not in our favor for any of the nights at I-94 or River Cities," Arenz said. "I thought I-94 was a neat track. It was the first time I had been there, but I just took it as any normal night of racing. "I tried to do my best to read the track with the hopes to set up a competitive car," he said. "The car felt decent for the most part, but I did break a throttle linkage in the feature, which ended our night." On Friday, July 14, the Travis Arenz headed northwest to the vaunted quarter-mile River Cities Speedway bullring in Grand Forks, N.D. where a field of 36 competitors signed in for the first half of the two-night Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings event. Arenz opened the program by registering a qualifying lap of 11.361 seconds, which was good for 22nd overall. After starting the pole in the third eight-lap IRA-NOSA heat race, Arenz wound up second behind hometown Grand Forks, N.D. racer Brendan Mullen. After starting 14th in the 30-lap IRA-NOSA A-main, Arenz endured a lengthy stop-and-start main event, which featured five caution and red flag periods, to record a 12th place showing in a race won by Mark Dobmeier. The second half of the IRA versus NOSA Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings event saw Arenz begin the program by qualifying eighth in the 37-car field with a lap of 11.002 seconds. Arenz again started on the pole of his heat race for the third straight event, as he rolled off first in the second eight-lap IRA-NOSA heat race and wound up second behind IRA points leader and leading IRA Rookie of the Year Award contender Brenham Crouch. The 30-lap IRA vs. NOSA tripleheader finale A main saw Arenz start and finish 11th in a race won by Austin Pierce. Once again drawing was not in our favor for any of the nights at I-94 or River Cities. I thought I-94 was a neat track. It was the first time I had been there but I just took it as any normal night of racing. Do my best to read the track with the hopes to set up a competitive car. The car felt decent for the most part but I did break a throttle linkage in the feature ending our night early. "I thought River Cities Speedway was an awesome facility," Arenz said. "The nights got late because we were fighting with rain and track conditions, but they got everything handled well. We did improve in qualifying and were able to transfer to the feature from the heat. I would have liked to be in a dash, but we will get there. "This was the farthest I have traveled to race and it was a long haul, but we learned a lot and got to race at new tracks with a different type of racing surface," he said. Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team will return to racing closer to home with a visit to Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. for a Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Car Series event during the Outagamie County Fair on Friday, July 21. "I'm excited to go back to Outagamie Speedway this Friday night," Arenz said.

- Hartmann duels with The Outlaws, eyes **Minnesota-North Dakota IRA swing
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 12, 2023 - In his final scheduled 2023 appearance with the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series, Austin Hartmann guided his 87A Hartmann Racing 410 Sprint Car to his third A-main start of the season with "The Greatest Show on Dirt" in the Badger 40/Larry Hillerud Memorial at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, July 8. With 32 410 Sprint Cars signed in for the night, Hartmann opened the program by ripping off the 18th fastest qualifying lap with a time of 12.554 seconds around the three-eighths mile semi-banked clay oval. After lining up fifth in the second 10-lap World of Outlaws heat race, Hartmann fell to sixth in the early going. After a caution on lap 5, Hartmann used a low move following the restart to move past Matt Vandevere into fifth in turn three on lap 6. He held on to punch his ticket to his third World of Outlaws A-main start of the 2023 season by placing fifth. Hartmann's fifth-place A-main transfer position heat race showing, netted him his first DIRTVision on-track interview with World of Outlaws Pit Reporter Chase Raudman. "We just had a bad start there, but we were able to capitalize," Hartmann said with the DIRTVision camera spotlight shining into the cockpit of his 87A machine. "I can't thank my guys enough. They're all giving it their all, so I have to give it my all." The Plymouth, Wis. driver rolled off 18th in the 24-car Badger 40/Larry Hillerud Memorial field. After running as high as 16th in the early going, Hartmann dropped out in the latter stages of the race. He was scored as finishing 19th in a race won by Carson Macedo. "I felt like it was a good overall night with the Outlaws," Hartmann said. "Qualifying was good, which put us in a good position for the heat race. "I had a terrible start in the heat, but thankfully a caution came out and I was able to pass back for the A-main transfer spot," he said. "I also got some cool screen time with Chase [Raudman] down in the infield. The feature started off great, just fell off slightly and pulled off with an assembled car and took it for what what it was." The 87A Hartmann Racing team is set to embark on a road trip west for a triple-header weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association vs. Northern Outlaw Sprint Association (NOSA) 410 Sprint Car competition starting Thursday, July 13 at I-94 Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn. and continuing Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15 at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D.

- Hartmann registers solid top-15 IRA finish at Plymouth Dirt Track
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 5, 2023 - Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing celebrated the Independence Day weekend with another smooth and steady effort to notch their eighth top-15 A-main showing of the 2023 campaign in the Scott Semmelmann Memorial Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 1. With 28 IRA 410 Sprint Cars on hand, Hartmann turned in the 14th fastest qualifying time with a lap of 11.968 seconds. The Plymouth, Wis. driver then rolled off fifth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race before an opening lap caution with a spin involving Ryan Ruhl prompted a complete restart. The fourth-year Sprint Car driver fell back to fifth on the opening lap and maintained the spot en route to a fifth place showing and a berth in the 30-lap Scott Semmelmann Memorial main event. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner started 14th and hovered around the top-15 throughout the event, enduring five caution periods along the way. After restarting 16th following the fifth caution flag of the race on lap 27, Hartmann advanced one spot in the closing laps to secure a 15th place finish and his eighth overall top-15 A-main showing of the 2023 season.

- There's no place like Plymouth Dirt Track home for Arenz's first IRA 410 Sprint Car victory
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 5, 2023 - After finding success in every racing division he has competed in during his stellar 16-year career, especially at the track located closest to home, Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series rookie Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls, Wis. took full advantage of the familiar home track surroundings of The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. to collect his first career IRA Series and 410 Sprint Car division A-main victory in the Scott Semmelmann Memorial Saturday, July 1. With 28 IRA 410 Sprint Car competitors signed in, Arenz recorded the eighth fastest qualifying lap in 11.839 seconds. After starting second in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz finished second to earn a spot in the 30-lap Scott Semmelmann Memorial main event, as well as a berth in the IRA dash field. Arenz drew the fifth starting spot in the second IRA four-lap dash and used a low move in turn one on the opening lap to work underneath Mike Reinke into fourth. One lap later, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion passed Todd Daun along the low line to assume third place in turn four, which is where he finished. Arenz started sixth in the 30-lap Scott Semmelmann Memorial IRA headliner before J.J. Hickle spun in turn four on the initial start, which moved the 2013 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Outlaw Compact 4-Cylinder champion up to fourth on the complete restart. When the green flag fell, Arenz settled into third behind polesitter Caden Englehart in second and second starter Danny Schlafer of Sussex, who grabbed the initial lead. On lap 3, Arenz and Mike Reinke engaged in a spirited back and forth duel for third in the running order before Arenz stayed glued to the low and middle portions of the venerable third-mile clay oval to finally secure the spot on lap 5. After two caution flags on lap 12 for a spin involving Blake Nimee and another caution when Englehart hit the turn four wall on lap 16, Arenz advanced to the runner-up spot on the ensuing restart. After the restart, Arenz hounded the high-riding Schlafer relentlessly along the inside and middle grooves. After setting up a pass for several laps, Arenz ducked under Schlafer to seize the top spot in turn one on lap 19. Once out front, Arenz endured two more caution periods before securing his first career IRA 410 Sprint Car Series A-main victory and 37th overall career A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track in four different divisions - Outlaw Compact 4-Cylinder, B Mod (Sport Mod), 360 Sprint Car and 410 Sprint Car. "I always look forward to racing at Plymouth because I have so many laps on the track and, for the most part, I know what to expect," Arenz said. "Because of that, I am able to work more on my driving and being more consistent. "Throughout the feature, I knew I needed to be patient, consistent and hit my marks," he said. "After I found a line through the middle in turns one and two that worked for me, I quickly realized I could win this." The victory turned the tide for Arenz in recent competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track as his previous best A-main finish in a total of four 2023 410 and 360 Sprint Car events at Plymouth had been a 20th place showing in the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions-IRA Rayce Rudeen main event on Saturday, June 3. "This win feels pretty special and it is one myself and the whole crew will always remember," Arenz said. "From 4-Cylinders to Sport Mods to 360s to now 410s, we've been able to find success and get to victory lane at Plymouth. When I was growing up, all I ever wanted to do was race at Plymouth.

- Arenz storms to fourth place showing in first Fairbury IRA appearance
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 28, 2023 - As a rookie on the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series tour, Travis Arenz continued his penchant for turning in veteran-like performances as he steered his No. 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports mount to a strong fourth place showing in the prestigious Bill Waite Jr. Memorial IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) co-sanctioned main event in his first appearance at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Ill. on Saturday, June 24. With a potent field of 42 IRA-MOWA 410 Sprint Car pilots in the pit area to pursue the $7,000 top prize, Arenz shook off his season-long qualifying woes by ripping off the fourth fastest lap with a time of 11.707 seconds on the quarter-mile dirt oval. After starting third in the second eight-lap IRA-MOWA heat race, Arenz moved up one spot to place second and secure a spot in the four-lap dash, where he placed third after starting third. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started fifth in the 30-lap main event and dueled with former IRA champion Jake Blackhurst throughout much of the race, sticking mainly to the low groove of the multi-groove racing surface. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor negotiated several restarts to secure a strong fourth place showing in a race won by Joe B. Miller. The fourth place finish was Arenz's six top-five showing and eighth top-10 finish in 13 IRA events during the 2023 season. "I've been to Fairbury in the past to watch racing, so I was pretty excited to turn laps on the historic track, finally," Arenz said. "During the last few weekends of racing, I have gotten more consistent overall with qualifying and racing. The car felt good on my qualifying laps and we ended up fifth quick overall. "As always, being in a dash is huge to start in the top 10 positions of the feature, so being able to start third and finish there in the dash was huge," he said. "I missed the set up a touch in the feature, but made it work. I'm glad to see improvements each week of racing." The Travis Arenz Motorsports team be back in action with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series this Saturday July 1 for the Scott Semmelmann Memorial at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. for an all-open wheel program also featuring the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and the IRA Lightning Sprints.
