Hartmann closes book on 2024 with Mississippi Thunder, Plymouth IRA twin bill
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 2, 2024 - After entering 30 racing events contested on 19 tracks in six states over five months, the end of the long and winding 2024 410 Sprint Car racing road drew nigh for Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team with one final weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 27 and the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth, Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 28. In the IRA's first appearance at the third-mile high-banked clay oval nestled on the shores of the Mississippi River since 2012, Hartmann opened the night by qualifying 14th overall in the 27-car field with a lap of 12.131 seconds. The third-year 410 Sprint Car competitor then racked up a sixth-place finish after starting fifth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race. The Plymouth, Wis. driver started the 30-lap A-main from the 17th starting position and stayed consistent throughout on the way to a 15th place showing in a race won by Australian Scott Bogucki. One night later, Hartmann and crew hauled back home for the 2024 IRA season finale at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Sept. 28. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association - Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Rookie of the Year Award winner turned in the 19th fastest qualifying lap in the 33-car field with a time of 12.150 seconds. Hartmann then put together an inspired effort in the third eight-lap IRA heat race blasting past Will Armitage, Blake Nimee and Kelby Watt with a nifty low move in turns two and fourth of the opening lap to vault his way into second. The fifth-year Sprint Car campaigner held on to place second in the heat race and earn the right to start 14th in the 30-lap 2024 season-ending IRA main event. Hartmann put together a solid run in the final IRA A-main of the 2024 campaign to come home 16th in a race won by Scotty Thiel. "Our last weekend of the 2024 season was filled with a lot of problems but this team never gave up throughout the entire season," Hartmann said. In 33 410 Sprint Car events during the 2024 season, Hartmann tallied one top-five, six top-10 and 12 top-15 A-main showings, while recording one dash victory in seven dash appearances and winning one B-main. Following a 10th-place finish in 2022 and a ninth-place run in 2023, the third-year 410 Sprint Car competitor tallied a career-best seventh-place performance in the final 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series point standings. "The 2024 season was one to remember," Hartmann said. "We've built something special to me way beyond racing. From race days to teaching Ian Schultz how to golf, and then him kicking my butt on go-karts, there were a lot of good times. Also, Eric Bergschultz got to learn more in-depth about the car throughout the 2024 season. "I truly have one amazing team," he said. "Mom [Kristine Hartmann] and Andy [Shufflebotham] have been nothing short of amazing in seeing the vision I have for this team and where we can go and how to do it. Karlee [Hartmann] is always there to support me or give me grief when I need a reality check. They say when you're having fun, time goes by quickly. Well, the 2024 race season was the quickest season I've experienced. I'm super excited for what 2025 will bring." The sponsorship partners for the 2024 87A Hartmann Racing team include Kristine Hartmann of Pleasant View Realty, Shufflebotham Tree Service, Feldmann Sales & Service, Holler n Hills, Quasius Construction Inc., TheD8Dispensary, AF Inc., Metalcraft, Rich's Truck and Auto Repair, Fastenal of Plymouth, Waldo Oil, RC Custom Design, Hepfner Racing Products, Maxim Chassis, Berryman Racing Shocks and My Race Pass.

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. 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 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events can be viewed via live streaming at Floracing.com.

Hartmann charges ahead, banks top 10 at The Hill
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 4, 2024 - Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team completed a two-race weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars competition with both speed and consistency tucked firmly in their back pocket after a pair of forward-moving showings at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31 and The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. on Sunday, Sept. 1. With a large Sheboygan County Fair Night crowd looking on, Hartmann kicked off the doubleheader weekend with a 19th place qualifying effort in the 27-car field based on a lap of 12.768 around the Plymouth, Wis. driver's home track. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor started and finished seventh in the first eight-lap IRA heat race before starting third and placing fifth in the 12-lap IRA B-main to gain a transfer position to the evening's 25-lap main event. Despite being mired in the 23rd starting spot, the 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award winner negotiated his way through two cautions and a red flag period to charge up eight spots and tally a 15th place finish in a race won by Joel Myers Jr. One night later, the 87A racing team made the trek north to Sturgeon Bay for the first-ever IRA 410 Sprint Car event at The Hill Raceway. Before a near-capacity crowd, Hartmann took an immediate liking to the slightly banked third-mile clay oval ripping off the sixth fastest qualifying lap in the 21-car field with a tour of the track in 12.667 seconds. After starting and finishing third in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann advanced to the IRA dash for the sixth time during the 2024 season. A fifth place showing in the first IRA dash gave Hartmann the ninth starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The A-main saw Hartmann mix it up at the front of the field throughout the event. He pulled off several key passes along the low groove of the smooth and slick racing surface to come home with a sixth place showing behind race winner Joel Myers Jr. The strong sixth place result marked the seventh top 10 A-main finish of the 2024 campaign for the 87A Hartmann Racing Team. Throughout the two-race weekend, Hartmann advanced his 87A car 11 positions in A-main action. "We felt like we had a good recovery going from a rough start to the night at Plymouth until the tires sealed over on a late race red in the A," Hartmann said. "Coming into Sunday at The Hill, we didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a great night. We were a few spots short of a top five, but it was still a strong run. We'll keep building on this momentum and work toward moving up a couple more spots this coming weekend." Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team are set to head north and west for a big weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action starting Friday, Sept. 6 at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. for the annual Northern Nationals. The WISSOTA Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks and Midwest Mods will also be on the card.
