  Arenz warms up for IRA tripleheader

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 22, 2026 - After a two-weekend hiatus from competition, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team hit the road on Saturday, July 18, for a $5,000-to-win unsanctioned event at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Mich. The evening was not what Arenz hoped for as his 25T machine was plagued by mechanical issues, which hampered his efforts throughout the racing program. After qualifying 13th with a lap of 14.192 seconds around the 3/8-mile high-banked dirt oval, Arenz placed fourth in the first heat race to claim the 10th starting spot in the 25-lap main event. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver worked his way up to sixth on lap 15 and was running seventh when a motor issue forced him to drop out of the race on lap 21. He was credited with a 17th-place showing. "We found a coolant leak during engine heat, so I missed firing off," Arenz said. "I also missed my qualifying position. I was able to go out dead last and get one lap of qualifying in. The feature was decent, but I didn't go far enough on setup. I was battling for fifth when we lost the head gasket on the engine and ended up with a DNF [did not finish]." After taking a month off, the Travis Arenz Motorsports team will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a tripleheader weekend starting this Friday, July 24, at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., before moving on to the prestigious $10,000-to-win Jerry Reichert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., on Saturday, July 25, and finishing up Sunday, July 26, at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.

  Hartmann basks in first win glow

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 21, 2026 - While enduring seven seasons of ups, downs, and everything in between, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team embraced a can-do attitude and steadfast dedication to a sport that is as tough as it is unforgiving. On Friday, July 17, everything fell into place as Hartmann drove his 87A machine to his first career A-main victory in the 30-lap Midwest Sprint Touring Series-Northern Outlaw Sprint Association Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings event at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. Hartmann headed into the night with fond memories of a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association event on July 19, 2024, during which he led 10 laps of the A main on the way to a then-career-best fourth-place showing. For the evening's qualifying-free racing format, which featured a deep field of 33 MSTS-NOSA competitors, Hartmann came out strong, storming up five spots from seventh to place second in the fourth 10-lap heat race. The Plymouth, Wis. driver's stellar heat race run gave him an outside front row starting spot in the six-lap dash. After placing second in the dash, Hartman launched from second in the 30-lap main event. After trailing Jack Croaker during the first three laps, Hartmann pounced to seize the lead on lap 4 and never looked back. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year endured a couple of caution and red flag periods over the final 26 laps to secure his maiden trip to victory lane. Hartmann opened the team's three-race Minnesota-North Dakota swing with a visit to Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn., where 28 cars checked in for a Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings Midwest Sprint Touring Series and Northern Outlaw Sprint Car Association co-sanctioned event at the 3/8-mile semi-banked dirt oval. The Plymouth, Wis. driver drew the pole position for the second heat race in the qualifying-free race format. Hartmann led all eight laps of the race on the way to his first heat race victory of the 2026 campaign, and a berth in the six-lap dash to set the front four rows of the 25-lap A main. After placing seventh in the dash, Hartmann lined up from the inside of the fourth row for the main event. The seventh-year Sprint Car competitor endured a handful of caution periods to post a 12th-place showing. On Saturday, July 18, Hartmann tallied a fifth-place heat race finish before ending up 23rd in the main event at Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minn., to close out the tripleheader MSTS-NOSA King of the Wings weekend. "Man, what a weekend!" Hartmann said. "It started off with two blown drive tires on the truck on the way to Ada, Minnesota, on Thursday. Friday night at River Cities really was a perfect night. Everything really went our way, and that's what it takes to win these races. At the start of that feature, I knew the inside was going to fire off better, so I tucked in and waited for my opportunity in traffic. "Running 10-second laps while in traffic is no joke," he said. "It was super tough to navigate where the guys were going, but we were able to move around to get by them. It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders Friday night after the checkers. You put so much into this sport, and it'll show you time and time again that it owes you nothing. I'm super happy I could park it for my team and family. Without them, this isn't possible. We'll let this one soak in and gear up for a doubleheader this weekend." The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is slated to venture to the western part of Wisconsin this weekend for a pair of events with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Sprint Car Series. On Friday, July 24, the team will compete at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., before traveling to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., for the prestigious $10,000-to-win Jerry Richert Memorial on Saturday, July 25. 87A Hartmann Racing 2026 sponsorship partners include Kristine Hartmann, Realtor of Pleasantview Realty, Shufflebotham Tree Service, The Dispensary, Double A Autobody, Quasius Construction, Holler n' Hills, High Speed TI, Metalcraft, Hepfner Racing Products, Berryman Racing Shocks, and Keizer Racing Wheels.

  Pokorski mixes well with Outlaws

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 14, 2026 - Accumulating experience against the top drivers and teams in the Winged Sprint Car Racing world has been a focus of the 2026 season for Alex Pokorski and GR8 Team. Making a NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series A main was at the top of the season goal list. Pokorski and the GR8 Team successfully checked that box during a doubleheader weekend with the Outlaws at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., on Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11. The weekend fired off on a tough note for Pokorski when he clipped the turn-two wall on the opening lap of his qualifying effort on Friday. After failing to record a qualifying time, the West Bend, Wis. native started at the rear of the first heat race. A seventh-place heat race effort placed him in the sixth starting position for the Outlaws Last Chance Showdown (B Main). Pokorski ended up finishing sixth in the 12-lap event to miss out on advancing to the A main by two positions. With a clean slate on Saturday, July 11, Pokorski and the GR8 crew hit their stride, qualifying 17th in the 30-car field with a lap of 12.831 seconds around the tricky three-eighths semi-banked clay oval. After starting sixth in heat 2, Pokorski dueled with 10-time World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz for the final A-main transfer spot during the 8-lap race. In the end, Pokorski got the best of the Sprint Car legend to earn a berth in his first career World of Outlaws main event. Pokorski's A-main effort was hampered by a wing issue after launching from the 17th starting spot in the 35-lap main event. After retreating to the work area to fix the problem, Pokorski returned to score a 21st-place finish in his World of Outlaws main event debut. "The weekend got off to a quite frustrating start, after catching a rut and putting it in the wall Friday for qualifying," Pokorski said. "We improved a lot with some extra help in the pits on Saturday. It was fun to race with [Donny] Schatz in the heat race for the feature transfer spot. Our A main started well. But, I had to go to the work area due to losing a bolt in the wing slider. Later on, I faded a bit. Overall, we improved a lot and made the feature, which was our goal entering the night." After taking the upcoming weekend off, Pokorski and the GR8 Team will head west with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association to Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., on Friday, July 24, before heading to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., for the $10,000-to-win Jerry Richert Memorial on Saturday, July 25. Pokorski recorded a 410 Sprint Car career-best second-place showing in last year's Jerry Richert Memorial IRA event at Cedar Lake Speedway. Both races will be streamed live on floracing.com The Alex Pokorski-GR8 Team 2026 sponsorship partners are Petersen Septic Systems; GR8; Mulch Express of Wisconsin; Lynch Buick, GMC of West Bend; Goeden Auto Body; Novak's Service Center; KP Repair, Service, and Fabrication; Germaine/Paul Kaphingst & Susie; Triple X Chassis; CSI Shocks; Hepfner Racing Products; and Pedal Down Promotions.
