141 Speedway Dirt Track News
- Arenz racks up IRA top-five at Wilmot
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 29, 2024 - After missing out on a potential A-main victory when a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association A-main was called due to curfew six days earlier at Angell Park Speedway, Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team came back firing to post the team's second top-five main event showing of the 2024 campaign in IRA Founders' Night action at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 25. Arenz, who was leading the previous IRA main event at Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, May 19 when the race was canceled short of the half-way point due to the city of Sun Prairie's 10 p.m. curfew, opened the night by qualifying sixth among the 33 entrants with a lap of 13.021 seconds. The 17th-year racer earned his second heat race victory of the 2024 season after starting second in the first eight-lap IRA heat race. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started third and wound up fifth in the second four-lap IRA dash to nail down the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap IRA main event. Following the first of four yellow-red flags, Arenz advanced to sixth in the running order before moving up to pass Blake Nimee for fourth on lap 11. However, Nimee returned the favor on the following lap to push the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver back to fifth. Sprinkled around three more race slow downs/stoppages over the ensuing 19 laps, Arenz engaged in a spirited back-and-forth duel with Mike Reinke for fourth place. Arenz held on in the closing laps to secure his second top-five A-main finish of the 2024 IRA campaign with a fifth place showing in a race won by Scotty Neitzel. The team was scheduled to compete in an IRA event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Sunday, May 26. However, the event was canceled due to rain. "I made sure not to over adjust the car and it seemed to help," Arenz said. "Wilmot is always tricky it seems. From corner to corner, it's different. I'm happy our qualifying has been more consistent and we have been making more dash appearances this year. Overall, I can't complain about a top-five finish. It could've been better but I just didn't finish the job." Following the Wilmot event, IRA officials engaged in the process of investigating the team's equipment. As a result, the team's potential racing plans for the upcoming weekend have not yet been determined. "As for race plans this weekend, it's up in the air," Arenz said. "We are waiting for our MSD box to come back after officials took it to be inspected again after Wilmot. Traction control allegations are back. We are doing everything we can to allow IRA officials to do what they need to do to prove every aspect of our operation is legal." Arenz will return to IRA competition just a stone's throw from his race shop for the fourth annual Road America Challenge at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 8. The PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and PDTR Grand Nationals are also on the card. Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action scheduled to commence at 5:30 p.m. One night later, Arenz will visit Angell Park Speedway for the second time in 2024 for the IRA Norm Nelson Classic on Sunday, June 9. Spectator gates for the program, which also features the Badger Midgets, open at 4 p.m. with racing scheduled to start at 6 p.m. All 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

- Hartmann brushes off Wilmot hard luck, preps for Outlaws doubleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 29, 2024 - It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time as an incident near the half-way point of a 30-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Founders' Night event took Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing out of contention for another strong A-main result Saturday, May 25 at Wilmot Raceway. The Plymouth, Wis. driver qualified 12th overall in the 33-car field after turning in a lap of 13.231 seconds in IRA qualifying. Hartmann then started third and placed fourth in the fourth eight-lap IRA heat race. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor lined up 14th in the 30-lap IRA main event and advanced to 11th on lap 9 with an eye on another top-10 A-main showing when Corbin Gurley spun in turn three on lap 12. With nowhere to go, Hartmann was collected in the incident, which caused his 87A machine to flip on its side. The damage suffered in the incident ended Hartmann's night early with a 24th-place finish. The team was scheduled to compete in an IRA event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Sunday, May 26. However, the event was canceled due to rain. Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team will look to bounce back during the 14th annual NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series Jim "JB" Boyd Memorial Presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts doubleheader weekend of competition at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1. Spectator gates are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m. with the Midwest Legends Dirt Series and 600cc Outlaw Winged Micro Sprints on the card both nights. The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series event will be streamed live on DirtVision. "It was a tough weekend for my guys," Hartmann said. "There's no time to hang our heads. We have our full sights set on a weekend with the World of Outlaws at Beaver Dam. We are super excited to get after it with the 'Greatest Show on Dirt.'" After racing with the World of Outlaws at Beaver Dam Raceway, the team will return to IRA competition for the fourth annual Road America Challenge at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 8.

- Hartmann posts Plymouth top-10, gears up for Wilmot, 141 twin bill
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 22, 2024 - Austin Hartmann and 87A Hartmann Racing Team added to its string of strong early-season performances with a solid top-10 A-main showing in front of a hometown crowd at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 18. The Plymouth, Wis. driver, who competed regularly at The Plymouth Dirt Track during the first two seasons of his Sprint Car career in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car division, topped Group A and placed fourth overall in the 32-car field with a qualifying lap of 11.762 seconds around the venerable third-mile clay oval. Hartmann started fourth in the first IRA heat race before moving past two-time IRA champ Scotty Nietzel to take third. The 2020 PDTR and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award winner began from the second starting spot in the first four-lap IRA dash and placed fourth to earn the seventh starting position in the 25-lap main event. The third-year IRA competitor endured six caution/red flag periods and expertly negotiated the lightning-fast and challenging track surface to turn in his third top-10 main event finish of the 2024 season with a seventh-place tally in a race won by Blake Nimee. One night later, Hartmann qualified seventh among the 29 entrants with a lap of 12.318 seconds. He started second and finished third in the first eight-lap IRA race before starting fourth and placing fifth in the first four-lap IRA dash. Hartmann rolled off ninth in the scheduled 30-lap IRA main event. Following two caution/red flag periods in the opening portion of the race, Hartmann was running seventh when the third caution flag of the event was displayed to trigger the remainder of the race to be canceled due to the city's 10 p.m. curfew. Since the race did not eclipse the halfway point, it was not considered official. As a result, all pay and points were divided equally among all 24 A-main competitors. "This team amazes me in working so well together to get me more comfortable in the car and faster each time we run," Hartmann said. "We plan to carry this momentum into one of my favorite weekends of the year, and we are hoping for even better results." The 87A Hartmann Racing team is set for another Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series doubleheader weekend of action starting with the annual Founder's Night program at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. this Saturday, May 25. The Auto Meter Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars and IRA Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5:45 p.m. and racing starting at 6:45 p.m. One night later, the 87A Hartmann Racing Team will head to 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. for the traditional Memorial Day eve IRA event on Sunday, May 26. The IRA Lightning Sprints and Midwest Legends Dirt Series are also on the card. Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. All Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association events will be streamed live on FloRacing during the 2024 season.

- Arenz aims to shake IRA Angell Park disappointment
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 22, 2024 - A promising weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at two of Travis Arenz's favorite tracks didn't quite play out to the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver's lofty expectations on Saturday, May 18 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. and Sunday, May 19 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. Arenz and his Travis Arenz Motorsports team opened the IRA doubleheader weekend at his home track - The Plymouth Dirt Track - on Saturday, May 18 by qualifying third overall in the 32-car field with a lap of 11.628 at the familiar facility where he claimed his first career IRA 410 Sprint Car A-main victory on July 1, 2023. After starting third in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz came home fourth. In the second four-lap IRA dash, the two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion started and finished fifth to earn the 10th starting position in the 30-lap main event. Contested on a fast and treacherous track surface and littered with six caution/red flag periods, the race found Arenz struggling to find a comfortable and consistent racing groove throughout the race. Arenz, who owns a total of 37 A-main victories at The Plymouth Dirt Track in four different divisions, battled back and forth inside and outside of the top 10 during the course of the event before settling for a 13th-place showing in a race won by Blake Nimee. The following night at Angell Park Speedway presented a different set of challenging circumstances, which left Arenz no less befuddled. Arenz opened the night by qualifying sixth in the 29-car IRA field with a lap of 12.295 seconds before starting and finishing third in the third eight-lap IRA heat race. The 17th-year competitor then finished second after starting on the pole of the first four-lap IRA dash to gain the third starting position in the scheduled 30-lap IRA A main. After both of the front-row starters got sideways on the drop of the green flag, Arenz bolted into the lead in turn one on the opening lap of the main event. He then powered away from the rest of the field and maintained the top spot through a pair of caution/red flag periods in the opening laps. As time ticked closer to the city of Sun Prairie's 10 p.m. curfew, Arenz continued to be in firm control of the race. However, the third caution flag spelled the end of Arenz's quest for a second career IRA A-main victory as the curfew prevented the race from being restarted and resulted in its cancellation. Since the race failed to move past the halfway point, it could not be considered official. As a result, all pay and points were divided equally among all 24 A-main competitors. "This weekend I learned that I need to stop overthinking and over-adjusting my car when it's a rough and heavy track," Arenz said. "At Angell Park, I knew we had a top-running car that had the capability of winning. It sinks that we couldn't get the entire feature in." The Travis Arenz Motorsports team is set for another Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series doubleheader weekend of action starting with the annual Founder's Night program at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. this Saturday, May 25.

- Arenz repeats as IRA Sycamore runner up
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 15, 2024 - In his various journeys to a variety of different tracks throughout the Midwest with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series over the past two seasons, Travis Arenz appears to have taken a special liking to Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. For the second time in two tries, Arenz came "oh so close" to parking his 25T 410 Sprint Car in victory lane before eventually settling for a second-place finish in A-main competition on Saturday, May 11. The two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champ opened the program by qualifying 11th with a lap of 12.880 seconds. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver earned the pole in the second eight-lap IRA heat race and held on to notch his first heat race victory of the 2024 campaign. After starting second and finishing third in the second four-lap dash, Arenz nailed down the sixth starting spot for the 30-lap main event. The first several laps of the race played to Arenz's favor as he moved into second after passing Jordan Goldesberry on lap 7. Two laps later, Arenz maneuvered in to briefly pull even with leader Jake Neuman on lap 9. However, Neuman fended off Arenz's charge to retain the top spot. As the laps wound down, Arenz dueled back and forth with Jake Blackhurst before eventually surging ahead for good to record his second consecutive IRA A-main showing in a race won by Jake Neuman. "Qualifying didn't go as well as I would like," Arenz said. "I was not consistent with each lap. The heat race felt comfortable and I ran well. In the dash, I fell back a few spots, which isn't what I like to see happen but I was able to start sixth in the feature. "The track was definitely tricky during the feature," he said. "I had to be patient and wait for us all to find our groove and hit my marks. I felt like we had a car to win but I was not aggressive enough when I needed to be. I broke the Jacobs ladder halfway through the race and had a wheel bleeder malfunction. Overall, I'm happy with a podium and I'm looking to get stronger each week." The Travis Arenz Motorsports Team is set for a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series doubleheader weekend opening with the first of five scheduled 2024 appearances at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 18, along with the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars and Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars on Saturday, May 18.

- Hartmann tallies top-10 run in Sycamore IRA action
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 15, 2024 - For the second consecutive season, Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team left Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. with a solid top-10 A-main showing etched in the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series box score on Saturday, May 11. The Plymouth, Wis. driver, who recorded a ninth-place main event showing in his Sycamore Speedway debut on June 10, 2023, revved up the night by qualifying eighth in the 28-car field with a lap of 12.729 seconds. After lining up second in the second IRA eight-lap heat race, Hartmann placed fifth to secure a spot in the dash where he launched from third and wound up fourth. The 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award recipient rolled off seventh in the 30-lap IRA headliner and flexed his muscle in the early going to break into the top five. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor was running sixth when the second caution flag of the event appeared on lap 15 for Ryan Bunton's spin. Following the restart, Hartmann got shuffled back a few spots before the third and final caution period was triggered by Ryan Bunton's 360 spin. When the race resumed, Hartmann held strong inside the top 10 to come home with a ninth place showing for the second straight season at Sycamore Speedway in a race won by Jake Neuman. It was Hartmann's second top-10 main event showing in five total 2024 events. "All in all, it turned out to be a good night for us," Hartmann said. "We chased the car slightly all night trying to get it perfect. Ian Schultz did a fantastic job making changes and bouncing ideas off of me. We're very close and have speed. I'm excited to get back home for Plymouth on Saturday." The 87A Hartmann Racing team is set for a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series doubleheader weekend opening with the first of five scheduled 2024 appearances at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 18, along with the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars and Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars on Saturday, May 18.

- Hartmann dealt tough Cedar Lake luck, eyes Sycamore Speedway return
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 8, 2024 - On a "survival-of-the-fittest" type of night, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team endured some sour luck to post a 17th place main event place showing in the second Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event of the 2024 campaign Saturday, May 4 at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. Rain prior to the event left the traditionally racy three-eighths mile Cedar Lake Speedway facility with an extremely fast and rugged racing surface, which befuddled several drivers in the 25-car field throughout the evening's proceedings. The fifth-year Sprint Car driver fired up the night by qualifying 15th overall with a lap of 11.329 seconds before starting and finishing fifth in the third IRA eight-lap heat race. "Going into the night, I knew it'd be a 'hammer down, elbows up' kind of track," Hartmann said. "We were set up pretty well for qualifying. We just had too much gear in the car and were a tick tight from the middle of the corner to exit. In the heat race we went up 20 points in gear size, which helped us in a major way and I was able to hold our position." The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner began the 30-lap IRA main event from the 14th starting spot and was hanging tough in the top 15 when debris on the track left Hartmann's machine with a flat right rear tire on lap 15. After bringing out a caution flag and retreating to the work area, the 87A Hartmann Racing crew got the Plymouth, Wis. driver back on the track with a new Hoosier right rear tire on his machine. Hartmann rejoined the field at the back of the pack and kept pace over the final 15 laps to place 17th in a race won by Scotty Thiel. "Between having 30 tear offs on my helmet and knowing the abuse the car was going to take, the feature was as intense as I expected it to be," Hartmann said. "After blowing a tire 15 laps in, my crew, plus Ozzie and Dakota from the 73 team [Scotty Thiel], got a new right rear tire on, so we didn't DNF. We'll take the good with the bad and carry on to Sycamore this Saturday." The team was scheduled to participate in the IRA series' debut appearance at Ogilvie Speedway in Ogilvie, Minn. on Friday, May 3. However, rain washed out the event. The 87A Hartmann Racing team is set to compete in a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at the Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. on Saturday, May 11. Hartmann is eager to make his third Sycamore Speedway appearance after registering a solid ninth place showing in IRA A-main competition on June 10, 2023. The Badger Midgets and IRA Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. with racing at 7:30 p.m. All Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association events will be streamed live on FloRacing during the 2024 season.

- Arenz corrals IRA top-10 at Cedar Lake Speedway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 8, 2024 - With fast and undulating track conditions demanding a cowboy-up driving style, Travis Arenz wrangled his Travis Arenz Motorsports 25T machine to stay as straight and smooth as possible in reining in his second top-10 showing of the young 2024 campaign in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main competition at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, May 4. With rain wreaking havoc on the three-eighths-mile clay oval racing surface in the days and hours leading up to the second event of the 2024 IRA campaign, Arenz successfully negotiated the highly tacky and challenging track surface to qualify seventh in the 25-car field with a lap of 11.108 seconds. After starting second in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion came home third. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver, who was making his Cedar Lake Speedway debut, turned in a fourth-place showing after lining up third in the first four-lap IRA dash to gain the seventh starting spot in the 30-lap main event. Arenz moved into the top five in the opening laps of the A main, as he managed to stay connected with the leaders' frantic pace while keeping his car as stable as possible on the rapid, demanding and uneven track surface. As the laps wound down, Arenz surrendered three positions on the way to an eighth-place finish, which marked his second top-10 A-main showing of the 2024 IRA season. "With the track conditions we had, I pretty much went completely opposite of what a normal night consists of with both set-up and driving approach," Arenz said. "Being in the dash helped with more track time and getting the car better for the rough surface. The A main definitely did not go as planned. While struggling with the car, I tired myself out, honestly, and started missing my marks at the end of the race." The team was scheduled to participate in the IRA series' debut appearance at Ogilvie Speedway in Ogilvie, Minn. on Friday, May 3. However, rain washed out the event. On Saturday, May 11, Arenz and the 25T team will follow the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series to the Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. Arenz will be looking to equal a strong runner-up showing in his first Sycamore Speedway appearance in IRA A-main action on June 10, 2023. The Badger Midgets and IRA Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. with racing at 7:30 p.m. All 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.
