  Plymouth top 10 highlights Austin Hartmann's IRA doubleheader weekend

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2023 - The first of six scheduled "home games" for the Plymouth, Wis.-based Austin Hartmann - 87A Hartmann Racing team at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. proved to provide one of the team's best overall efforts of the young 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season Saturday, May 20. Hartmann opened the program by qualifying ninth in the 31-car field with a lap of 12.140 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. After rolling off second in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann earned a third place finish to earn a spot in the IRA dash field used set the top 10 spots in the A main. The fourth-year Sprint Car driver started fourth and placed fifth in the first four-lap IRA dash to earn the ninth starting spot in the 30-lap Frank Filskov Memorial IRA A main. The Plymouth, Wis. competitor settled into ninth place in the early going of the main event before a spin involving Josh Schneiderman brought out a caution flag on lap 5. Following the restart, Blake Nimee worked the high groove to briefly move around the low riding Hartmann on lap 8. However, Hartmann battled back to regain ninth in the running order on lap 12. Following the second caution flag of the race on lap 13 for a two-car incident involving Tyler Tischendorf and Ion Stear, Hartmann worked his way past Mike Reinke in turn three to assume eighth on lap 14. The 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award recipient held on over the final 16 laps to finish eighth and earn his second top-10 A-main showing of the 2023 season. "Plymouth went very well, I'd say," Hartmann said. "The car felt fast and comfortable all night long no matter what we did to it. We also got good notes for our next visit." One night later at Angell Park Speedway, Hartmann began the evening by qualifying 10th in the 27-car IRA field with a lap of 12.260 seconds. After starting on the pole of the first eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann placed second to gain a spot in the 30-lap headliner. Hartmann rolled off 11th in the 30-lap IRA headliner and dueled for the 12th and 13th positions through the majority of the race on a fast and undulating track surface until the second of two caution flags flew on lap 25 for the slowing car of Jake Blackhurst. Over the final five laps, Hartmann fell back several spots with an ill-handling car on the way to a 17th place finish in a race won by Bill Balog. "We had a good night at Angell Park as well," Hartmann said. "The car felt pretty planted all night, considering the track conditions. The wing slider seal gave out on the last caution of the feature, which allowed the wing to slide forward and back on its own. That made the car essentially unable to be driven properly on that tricky track surface." Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartman Racing team are now gearing up for another doubleheader weekend with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series starting with the team's third appearance of the season at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 27 with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets also on the all-open wheel card. Pit gates open at 3 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 5 p.m. and hot laps at 6 p.m. On Sunday, May 28, the team will travel north for an IRA 410 Sprint Car Series event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., which will also include IRA Lightning Sprints, Sport Compacts and Legends. Pit and spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing starting at 6 p.m. "I'm very excited for this upcoming weekend," Hartmann said. "I am enjoying the doubleheader weekends. I would like to say 'thank you' to everyone who makes this car go around the track. It's not just me behind the wheel. I couldn't do it without our partners on the car, as well as my family and crew."

  Arenz rebounds with top-10 IRA showing at Angell Park, after Plymouth disappointment

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2023 - Just 24 hours after enduring a difficult homecoming at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 20, Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series rookie contender Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls, Wis. turned the tide by tallying a solid top-10 finish in A-main competition at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, May 21. The IRA doubleheader weekend kicked off with Arenz's highly anticipated return to The Plymouth Dirt Track where he has enjoyed the majority of his success in his career, including racking up a total of three track championships in the Outlaw Compact 4-cylinder and 360 Sprint Car divisions. However, the evening proved to be forgettable as Arenz's encountered a flurry of mechanical and on-track issues in both 410 and 360 Sprint Car competition. The night got off to a sour note when motor issues arose on Arenz's machine in IRA 410 Sprint Car Series hot laps. After missing IRA qualifying and taking out the team's backup car for the remainder of the program, Arenz lined up at the rear of the third 10-car IRA heat race. However, on the opening lap Arenz had to take evasive action to avoid Tyler Brabant, who got sideways exiting turn two, which sent Arenz's car flipping down the backstretch. Arenz returned to start 12th in the 10-lap IRA B main, needing to finish in the top six to earn an A-main transfer spot. The 16th year driver was able to move up four spots to finish eighth, which brought his participation in the IRA 410 Sprint car portion of the program to an early conclusion. Arenz's luck wasn't much better in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car division. After qualifying second overall in MSA-PDTR 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a lap of 13.343 seconds, Arenz missed the call to lineup for the second 10-lap heat race. As a result, Arenz started the 10-car 10-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car B main from the rear of the field. However, Arenz wasted little time weaving his way through the field using primarily the high groove of the third-mile clay oval en route to the B main victory and a starting spot in the 25-lap A-main field. After starting 16th in the PDTR-MSA main event, Arenz had moved up to 12th by lap 4. However, one lap later the two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion clipped an infield tire and spun in turn two, which brought his evening to a premature close with a 22nd place finish. "In hot laps, I ended up hurting the motor, so I had to bring down the spare car," Arenz said. "In the heat race, unfortunately, we ended up making contact with a car that was spinning out and I didn't have anywhere to go. It wasn't too violent of a roll, so we got the car back down to the pit stall, made sure nothing was wrong with the frame and got to work. It needed a lot of bolt-on parts." "The crew got the car back to racing condition, while I tried to go run my heat race with the 360," he said. "Unfortunately, I did miss my heat race, which put us in the B-mains with both the 410 and 360. We missed the feature with the 410 by three positions but we did pick up the B main win with the 360 from the 10th starting position." On Sunday, May 21, the Travis Arenz Motorsports team traveled southwest to Angell Park Speedway, which is another track where Arenz has racked up success over the years in 360 Sprint Car competition. Arenz opened the night by qualifying 11th in the 27-car field with a lap of 12.322 seconds. After starting on the pole of the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz placed second to secure a spot in the 30-lap main event. After rolling off 12th in the IRA main event, Arenz hovered around the top 10 through the first 25 laps of the race before the second caution flag of the event appeared on lap 25 for the slowing machine of Jake Blackhurst. Following the restart, Arenz strung together several good laps to sweep past Russel Borland and fellow IRA rookie Brenham Crouch to vault his way into seventh in the closing laps. Arenz held on to earn a seventh place showing in a race won by Bill Balog. "We packed up right away after Plymouth and headed to the shop as a team to discuss what we wanted to do for Sunday," Arenz said. "We ended up swapping motors from my spare car to the main car for Angell Park. The trailer needed to be put back together as things were everywhere from Saturday trying to get back out on the track. It was time consuming, but we made it work." "The car was decent in qualifying and in the heat race with how choppy the track was," he said. "I would say the feature went alright. We moved forward and, most importantly, the car rolled into the trailer afterwards. I am down a 410 motor at the moment and a car. Fingers crossed that the motor can get fixed quickly." Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team are gearing up for another doubleheader weekend with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series starting with the team's third appearance of the season at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 27 with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets also on the all-open wheel card.

  Misfortune spoils promising run for Alex Pokorski at Plymouth Dirt Track - Paul Pokorski makes 2023 season debut

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 23, 2023 - It was a case of what might have been for Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team as what was shaping up to be a career-best A-main run ended up being derailed by a mid-race mishap in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 20. An all-open wheel racing program, which also featured the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association and Badger Midgets, drew a field of 27 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars to the venerable third-mile clay oval, including Alex's father, Paul, who made his first start in nearly a year behind the wheel of Spyder Akright's 53A 360 Sprint Car. Alex opened the night by qualifying sixth overall with a lap of 13.540 seconds, while Paul qualified 16th overall in 13.992 seconds. Both Alex and Paul competed in the third 10-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race with Alex rolling off third and Paul starting second. Alex advanced one spot to place second and Paul finished fourth as both Akright Auto Racing Team competitors earned transfer spots to the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car A main. After starting fifth in the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, Alex used a strong start to move past Kurt Davis into third on lap 3. After a caution on lap 6 for a spin involving Travis Arenz, Alex bolted past Ben Schmidt to take over second on lap 7. While the track started to lay rubber along the inside groove, Alex reeled in race leader Lance Fassbender as the leaders encountered lapped traffic on lap 12. Just as Alex began to pressure Fassbender for the top spot, the lapped cars of Chris Larson and T.J. Haddy collided in front of the leaders in turn four. With nowhere to go, Alex was collected in the incident, forcing him to retreat to the work area for repairs. After returning to the action in 18th place, Alex was able to pick up four spots over the final 10 laps to secure a 14th place finish a race won by Lance Fassbender. "I think qualifying and the heat race both went well," Alex said. "Having a good start to the night set us up well for the feature. The strategy for the feature is always to put yourself in a position where you have a chance to win. It was going well. I just got unlucky. "A lapped car drove into the corner too hard and spun right in front of me," he said. "I didn't have any time to avoid the two cars that spun ahead of me, and we ended up wrecking a header and nerf bar. The crew got me back out right away, and I was able to work back past a few cars. It was difficult to pass at that point with the track taking rubber again." Paul lined up 15th in the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A main and came home with an 18th place finish in his first time in the driver's seat since May 28, 2022. "I was reasonably happy with qualifying and the heat race," Paul said. "They went about as well as I would've expected after being out of the car for quite some time. "For the feature, we knew the track would rubber up and that's not my thing!," he said. "I don't have the patience to stay in line and ride and every time I tried to get out of line and make something happen, it just cost me spots. So, I was a little frustrated, but had some fun. I will be back in the car in two weeks on June 3rd for the Rayce Rudeen Foundation event at PDTR." The Alex Pokorski - Akright Auto Racing Team is set to travel to Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. for an Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series event this Saturday, May 27, which will also feature the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Badger Midgets. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., followed by spectator gates at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6 p.m. In his Wilmot Raceway debut during an MSA 360 Sprint Car event last August, Alex recorded a strong fourth place A-main showing. "With Plymouth being off, we will be headed to Wilmot next week with the MSA," Alex said. "I'm excited to go back there, after doing well last year."

  Austin Hartmann makes All Stars A-main debut at Wilmot Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 17, 2023 - Fresh off of a career-best fifth place A-main showing in non-sanctioned Wilmot Raceway 410 Sprint Car action on May 6, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team embraced the extra challenge of entering a pair of Tezos All Star Circuit of Championships events last week, including the team's debut at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill. on Friday, May 12, piggybacked with a return engagement at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. for a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions-Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series co-sanctioned event on Saturday, May 13. Hartmann opened the doubleheader weekend among a strong field of 38 competitors for Tezos All Stars Circuit of Champions competition at the quarter-mile high-banked Jacksonville Speedway clay bullring. The Plymouth, Wis. driver qualified 17th with a lap of 10.671 before placing ninth after starting eighth in the second eight-lap heat race. Hartmann then rolled off from the 13th starting spot in the 12-lap B Main and advanced four spots to finish ninth. "I was pretty impressed with the Jacksonville track," Hartmann said. "I thought it would've been a little bit bigger, but we definitely learned a lot and got some decent notes. I'm excited to go back to Jacksonville for a weekly 410 race on June 23rd. That's for sure!" On Saturday, May 13, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team returned to Wilmot Raceway with a stellar field of 44 cars on hand for the All Star-IRA Challenge event. The fourth-year Sprint Car competitor opened up strong by ripping off the 10th fastest qualifying lap on the three-eighth mile semi-banked clay oval with a time of 12.650 seconds. After starting second in the third eight-lap All Star-IRA heat race, Hartmann was running fourth when a caution flag appeared on lap 4 for a flip involving Zeth Sabo. On the restart, Hartmann felt heavy pressure from Danny Schlafer and Brenham Crouch in a duel for an A-main transfer spot. Hartmann stayed cool and fended off Schlafer and Crouch over the final four laps to advance to a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions A-main field for the first time in his career. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award recipient started 13th in the 30-lap All Star-IRA main event. Hartmann stayed smooth and consistent throughout the caution-free main event on the way to a 20th place finish in a race won by Tyler Courtney. "In qualifying, the car felt pretty good, which set us up good for the heat race," Hartmann said. "The heat race went well too. The track kind of threw us a curveball all night long, but it was very good getting into the feature through the heat race. The feature definitely could have gone better, but we were able to roll it into the trailer in one piece, which is always a victory. "The All Stars are difficult competitors, but running laps with them will only make us better and want to be better," he said. "I was super proud of Hunter [Annis] this weekend. He worked his tail off making sure everything was taken care of car wise, as well as changing engines for Saturday's show at Wilmot." Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team will return to its hometown track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 20 for an all-open wheel program also featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets.

  Arenz earns top-15 showing in All Stars debut at Wilmot Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 17, 2023 - In his first-ever Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions start, Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports battled toe to toe with many of the most accomplished 410 Sprint Car drivers the sport as to offer, while coming away with a solid 14th-place showing in his All Stars A-main debut at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 13. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver began the event by registering the 23rd fastest qualifying lap in the 44-car field with a lap of 12.886 seconds around the three-eighth mile semi-banked clay oval. After starting fifth in the second eight-lap All Star-IRA heat race, Arenz advanced one spot to earn a bid to his first All Star Circuit of Champions A main with a fourth place showing. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion fired off from the 17th starting spot in the 30-lap main event and moved up to 14th on lap five. After swapping the 13th, 14th and 15th positions over the remainder of the non-stop event, Arenz came home with a 14th place finish in his All Stars debut, which was won by Tyler Courtney. "The car was actually decent in qualifying, I just didn't hit my marks, didn't slow the car down enough for the tight corners and over drove the car on both laps," Arenz said. "In the heat race, the car was good. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough to get us a top-four finish to transfer to the A main. "The A main went by quick," he said. "I felt like I was not as fast as I could have been, but we also had some serious competition." Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team will return to its hometown track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 20 for an all-open wheel program, featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets. Pit gates open at 2 p.m., followed by grandstand gates at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, May 21, the team will head to Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. for the track's 2023 season opener, featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, along with the Badger Midgets and the Wisconsin Legend Dirt Racing Series. Pit gates open at 1:30 p.m., followed by spectator gates at 4 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m. "I know Plymouth like the back of my hand, so I'm hoping all the years of experience and seeing how the track changes helps out to my favor," Arenz said. "As of now, we plan on running both the 360 and 410 Sprint Car for Saturday's show at Plymouth. "I'm hoping that Angell Park has a good, smooth and wide surface, so we can put on a good show on Sunday," he said.

  Alex Pokorski charges to career-best podium PDTR 360 Sprint Car showing

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 16, 2023 - In his fourth season behind the week of a Sprint Car, Alex Pokorski put his improved comfort and confidence level at the controls of the No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team 360 Sprint Car on full display as he stormed up seven spots to record a career-best third place finish in a 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association main event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 13. The West Bend, Wis. driver bolted out of the gate in the second PDTR 360 Sprint Car event of the 2023 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track by qualifying second overall in the 28-car field with a lap of 12.930 seconds. Pokorski then started and finished third in the first 10-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race to earn a berth in the 25-lap main event. After starting 10th in the 23-car A-main field, Pokorski moved up to the high groove of the wide, black slick and smooth track surface and quickly began to work his way up through the field. On lap 4, Pokorski passed Kevin Karnitz before passing Tony Wondra on lap 5 to move into fourth in the running order. The second caution flag of the race flew on lap 12 for the stalled car of Chris Larson, which allowed the field to bunch up behind race leader Brandon McMullen. Pokorski then used a low move on Ben Schmidt to advance to third place in turn one on lap 15. Over the final 10 laps of the race, heavy lapped traffic and the increasingly rubber down track surface became more of a factor in the race as the majority of the field, including Pokorski, held tight to the low groove of the third-mile clay oval. Pokorski stayed smooth in the closing laps to register a career-best third place A-main showing in a race won by Brandon McMullen. "The car was set up nicely for qualifying, and we were really close to setting quick time," Pokorski said. "We were a bit too loose in the heat race. I also made a few mistakes on the initial start and restart, but luckily, we still finished third. The car was really dialed in for the A main. The track did just what we were predicting, so we were ready for the dry slick early and the rubber that came later on. The car was fast from the beginning on the cushion. Later in the race, I was able to find the rubber right away and adjust my line. "The fastest groove moved down the track as more rubber set in, which made it hard to pass in the last five laps or so," he said. "The team has been really on top of setups, and we've figured out how to make this car fast, it seems. I have to thank them for giving me a great car in the two races so far this year. I think I have also been able to cut out some driver mistakes and improve my decision-making during the race. Those two or three factors paired with the new car Spyder [Akright] put me in have really made a big difference this year. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!" Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team will return to PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 20 for an all-open wheel program also featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Badger Midgets. Pit gates open at 2 p.m., followed by grandstand gates at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. Sponsors and supporters for Alex Pokorski and the 2023 Akright Auto Racing Team include Akright Auto, Petersen Septic Systems, Goeden Auto Body, Novak's Service Center, Wisconsin Bank and Trust, Homestead Auto, Cedar Valley Hunt Club, RC Custom Design and Pedal Down Promotions.

  Austin Hartmann storms to career-best A-main showing at Wilmot Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 10, 2023 - After sitting idle for three weeks, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team returned to action in impressive fashion by racking up a career-best fifth place A-main finish in a non-sanctioned 410 Winged Sprint Car event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 6. With 24 410 Winged Sprint Cars checked in for the program, Hartmann turned in the fifth-fastest overall lap in his group qualifying session with a time of 13.248 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. The fourth-year driver then lined up third in the second eight-lap heat race before turning in a fifth place finish to secure the fourth starting spot in the 25-lap A main. Hartmann drove a smooth and consistent race, while enduring a couple of restarts due to on-track incidents. As the laps wound down, Hartmann executed a nifty move to slip past Kurt Davis utilizing the low groove and nail down a career-best fifth place finish in a race won by Bill Balog. "We qualified fifth overall in the group qualifying session," Hartmann said. "The heat race went alright. We were close on set up, but not great. The feature went pretty good. The car faded too quickly, but, all in all, we'll take a fifth place finish. We are excited for the fun weekend ahead of us with the All Stars for two nights and also with the IRA on the second night. "I'm super proud of my pit crew guys, Hunter Annis and Eric Bergschultz," he said. "They've put in the work and used their minds to make this car faster every time it hits the track." The Plymouth, Wis. driver is set to compete in a pair of $6,000-to-win events with the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint Car Series this weekend starting with an All Stars Series event at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill. on Friday, May 12.

  Arenz equals career-best 410 Sprint Carshowing at Wilmot Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 11, 2023 - Three weeks after notching his first top-five A-main showing of the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season at Beaver Dam Raceway, Travis Arenz upped the ante by doubling up on his career-best finish behind the wheel of a 410 Sprint Car, steering his Travis Arenz Motorsports 25T machine to a second place showing in a non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car event at Wilmot Speedway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 6. Arenz opened the program by qualifying third in the 24-car field with a lap of 12.939 seconds on the third-mile clay oval, during a group qualifying session. The 16th year driver started fourth in the second eight-lap 410 Sprint Car heat race and quickly moved to the front, advancing three spots to earn his first heat race victory of the 2023 season. After starting sixth in the 25-lap main event, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion drove a smart race, avoiding a few incidents along the way to finish in the runner-up spot behind race winner Bill Balog. The second place showing equaled Arenz's previous career-best 410 Sprint Car finish, which also came at Wilmot Raceway in a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event on Aug. 27, 2022. "We have struggled with qualifying this year so far, so qualifying third was definitely a good change in direction," Arenz said. "In the heat race, the car was good. It just took a few laps to get rolling. "Unfortunately, the car was a little too tight in the early stages of the feature," he said. "Near the end of the race is when I felt comfortable and was able to turn decent laps and progress forward. More seat time behind the wheel of the 410 car is definitely what I need to keep getting faster." Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team will compete in a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions - Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series co-sanctioned event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 13.

  Alex Pokorski opens 2023 PDTR 360 Sprint Car campaign with top-five run

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 9, 2023 - Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team set sail on their second season together in head-turning fashion by racking up a strong top-five A-main showing and scoring a heat race triumph in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car action, during the 2023 season opener at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 6. With 22 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars checked in, Pokorski ripped off the sixth-fastest overall qualifying lap in 13.101 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. By turning in the fourth quickest qualifying lap in his heat race group, Pokorski earned the pole position for the first 10-lap PDTR-MSA heat race. The fourth-year 360 Sprint Car racer outpowered outside front row starter Justin Erickson to grab the initial lead on the drop of the green flag. On lap 2, the yellow flag appeared when Nick Daywalt spun in turn four. The ensuing restart saw Kevin Karnitz pull even with Pokorski along the high groove. However, Pokorski held strong along the inside lane to maintain the top spot. The red flag was displayed on lap 4 when Tristan Koenigs, Nick Daywalt and Kevin Seidler collided in turn two, which resulted in Daywalt's car flipping on its side. When the race resumed, the West Bend driver pulled away from Karnitz and the rest of the field to claim his fifth career PDTR-MSA heat race victory and seventh overall PDTR-MSA race win. Pokorski then rolled off fifth in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event and held the fifth spot along the low groove during the first four laps of the race until Bill Taylor slipped past on lap 5. Nine laps later, Pokorski battled back to move past Taylor and regain fifth place in the running order as the leaders worked through heavy lapped traffic on lap 14. Pokorski reeled in the fourth place car of Kevin Karnitz over the final 11 laps, but was unable to gain the position. Pokorski went on to notch a fifth place showing, which equaled his career-best PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main finish at The Plymouth Dirt Track, in a race won by Ben Schmidt. "The new car feels great," Pokorski said of the Triple X chassis he is utilizing this season. "The chassis transfers weight nicely and the crew had it set up well all night. I think I could've done a little better in qualifying, but I was happy to win the heat race. The 63K [Kevin Karnitz] almost got me on the first restart, so I had to change up my start for the second one. I was a little too aggressive, though. It ruffled some feathers, but it ended up okay. "The A-main track was fun to race on," he said. "The track crew did a nice job maintaining it throughout the night. I was happy to finish in the top 5 and compete well. I think we had the second-fastest lap time in the feature, so the speed is definitely there. Now, it is about doing that consistently. I'm happy to be out competing with the Akright Auto team again this year!" Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team will return to PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 13 for a program which will also feature the Super Six Late Model Series, Grand Nationals and B Mods. The May 13th PDTR racing program will also be You're Our Heroes Night with all military, police fire and EMS personnel admitted free with valid identification.

  Arenz charges to top-five IRA showing at Beaver Dam Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 20, 2023 - While the "R" after his name on the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series full-time driver roster might indicate otherwise, Travis Arenz looked like anything but a rookie, storming from his 15th starting spot to claim a fifth place showing behind the wheel of the 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports machine in the 30-lap IRA Jim Wipperfurth Memorial A main Saturday, April 15 at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. After falling short of making the A-main starting lineup during both nights of the 2023 season opening IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Morning Sun Farm Implement 410 Clash doubleheader weekend at 34 Raceway in his debut at the West Burlington, Iowa facility on April 7-8, Arenz returned to much more familiar footing for the third IRA event of the 2023 campaign at a track where he has visited victory lane in Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition and the results definitely showed. Arenz opened the night by turning in the 17th fastest qualifying time in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.606 seconds around the high-banked third-mile clay oval. After lining up sixth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz wasted no time in working the high groove to maneuver around Jereme Schroeder and Austin Hartmann to take over fourth in the running order exiting turn two on the opening lap. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver then held on to the fourth spot the rest of the way. Following an incident involving Tim Haddy and Jereme Schroeder on the initial start, Arenz rolled off from the 15th starting position in the 30-lap IRA main event and used a nifty move on lap four to bolt past both Todd King and Jack Vanderboom. After a caution for William Huck on lap 5, Arenz restarted 11th before passing Mike Reinke for 10th on lap 6 and Josh Schneiderman to seize ninth two laps later. Following another caution for a spin involving Russel Borland on lap 9, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion restarted eighth and put together three consecutive flawless laps using multiple grooves of the well-manicured racing surface to slip past IRA front runners Scotty Neitzel, Danny Schlafer and Jake Blackhurst and grab fifth on lap 12. Arenz held strong over the final 18 non-stop laps to secure a fifth place showing behind Blake Nimee (fourth), Brenham Crouch (third), Tim Estenson (second) and race winner Jordan Goldesberry. "We didn't get the gearing right, unfortunately, in qualifying," Arenz said. "We even made a change after hot laps, but it definitely still wasn't enough. I have an idea now where we need to be with this motor. "I was somewhat happy with the heat race," he said. "We moved forward and turned a few good laps. Overall, I was happy with the fifth place finish in the A main for how early in the season it is. Once I get more laps in with the 410 car, I'll be aiming for top-three finishes every night." Following an off weekend, Arenz will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition at two new tracks to the Travis Arenz Motorsports team, starting at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, April 29 and concluding on Sunday, April 30 with the IRA's first-ever appearance at Mason City Speedway in Mason City, Iowa. "I go to each new track with the same approach, which is to try to learn it as quickly as possible and watch previous film to see how the track unfolds over a complete night of racing," Arenz said. "That will be my approach to racing at two new tracks for us, Cedar Lake Speedway and Mason City Speedway, during our next weekend of racing with the IRA." Pit gates open at 3 p.m. and spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. for the Spring Open Wheel Spectacular at Cedar Lake Speedway, which also features Traditional Sprint Cars, Winged Limited Sprint Cars and 600cc Winged Micro Sprints.

  Travis Arenz Motorsports throttles up rookie IRA campaign at 34 Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 11, 2023 - Facing off against a stellar field loaded with an impressive collection of the Midwest's top 410 Sprint Car competitors, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team launched their rookie season with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series during the IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Morning Sun Farm Implement 410 Clash Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8 at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. With 48 drivers signed in to fire off the 2023 IRA campaign, Arenz qualified 15th in split field qualifying group A with a lap of 13.823 seconds around the three-eighths mile semi-banked clay oval. In the first eight-lap IRA-MOWA heat, Arenz lined up eighth and passed Kris Spitz on the opening lap to take seventh. Five laps later, Tyler Drueke powered past to drop the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion to eighth in the running order. A caution flag was displayed on lap seven when Austin McCarl stalled in turn one. Arenz restarted seventh and held the position through a green-white-checkered flag finish. Arenz then lined up fourth in the first 10-lap IRA-MOWA B main, needing to place second to earn a coveted berth in the 30-lap A main. A good start launched the 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion past Cameron Martin into third on the opening lap. On lap 4, Arenz used a nifty move to work around Tyler Drueke to gain second. However, Drueke battled back to slip past Arenz on the final lap to steal away the final transfer spot and relegate the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver to a third place finish. Arenz returned to IRA-MOWA action to close out the team's 2023 season opening doubleheader weekend event at 34 Raceway against another stout field of 48 cars on Saturday, April 8. A lap of 13.300 seconds placed Arenz 15th in split field qualifying group B. Arenz then placed ninth after starting eighth in the third heat race and closed out the event with a fifth place finish after starting seventh in the second 10-lap B main. "I enjoyed racing at 34 Raceway," Arenz said. "It's a very nice facility and definitely an enjoyable track with two different corners, it seemed. It kind of reminded me of Manitowoc with the longer straights and tighter corners. "Our goals for the weekend were to make the show and get laps," he said. "I got some bad habits from the 360 car that I need to work on. I was comfortable in the car for it being the first time I was in it. The car just needs some tuning and work." Arenz will return to much more familiar territory this Saturday, April 15 as the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series makes its lone scheduled appearance of the 2023 season at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. Street Stocks and Legends also on the card for the annual Jim Wipperfurth Memorial event. Pits open at 4 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4:30 p.m. and racing scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. "My approach going into this Saturday's race at Beaver Dam Raceway is the same as it is every week, which is to go out and perform to the level I know I can," Arenz said. "At the same time, I also know I need to continue to learn and get better." All 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 4, 2022 - With an up-and-down debut season of 360 Sprint Car competition behind the wheel of the Akright Auto Racing Team car tucked under his belt, fourth-year driver Alex Pokorski is aiming for a higher caliber of speed and consistency during the upcoming 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car season. After two seasons of sharing time behind the wheel of his family's familiar blue No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car with his multi-time championship-winning father, Paul, Alex Pokorski took on full-time driving duties in the seat of the No. 4 Spyder Akright-owned Akright Auto Racing Team machine in 2022, which produced a mixed bag of results.

Pokorski's 2022 MSA campaign featured one top-five, two top-10 and six top-15 A-main showings to go along with one heat race victory and one B-main triumph. The highlight of the 2022 season was a career-best-equaling fourth place A-main finish in an Akright Auto MSA 360 Sprint Car event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 27. In addition, Pokorski's father, Paul, who wrapped up his stellar career as a regular competitor during the 2021 season, entered a pair of MSA-PDTR 360 Sprint Car events at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on a fill-in basis during the 2022 campaign, while racking up one top-10 and a pair of top-15 A-main showings. Pokorski is looking forward to returning for a second season with the Akright Auto Racing Team with plans to contest the full 19-event 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car schedule, as well as the majority of the 26-race 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association slate. The team will fire up its 2023 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, April 29. "We switched chassis manufacturers in the off season to Triple X, and a lot of the bolt-on components are new, so we are excited to see how this car performs," Pokorski said. "The motor was freshened up, and we are in the process of getting the car ready to go for the season. We plan to run the full Plymouth schedule and as many outside MSA races as we can." In addition, the Akright Auto Racing Team is set to field a second car in a handful of select 2023 events with Paul Pokorski potentially getting behind the wheel on occasion. "The plan is for Akright Auto Racing to have two cars out a couple of nights this year," Pokorski said. "It has been plenty of work getting the cars ready, but we have had a lot of fun working with Spyder throughout the process. It is shaping up to be an exciting year, and I'm really enjoying this opportunity."
