  Post delivers career-best PDTR 360 Sprint Car performance

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 23, 2024 - In his third season behind the wheel of a Sprint Car, Randy Post established not one, but two career firsts in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 20. Post opened his breakout night by turning in the 12th fastest qualifying lap in the 23-car field in a time of 13.793 seconds. The Oostburg, Wis. driver then lined up on the pole of the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race and went on to lead every lap on the way to his first career heat race victory in the seat of a 360 Sprint Car. The 10-car main event inversion dice roll landed Post on the pole of the 25-lap PDTR-MSA A-main. The former Street Stock competitor settled into second in the running order behind eventual race winner T.J. Smith on the opening lap of the main event. Post maintained the runner-up spot through the first 13 laps until Ben Schmidt took over second on lap 14. As the leaders worked through thick lapped traffic, Brandon Berth snuck past to move Post to third when a red flag was displayed after Ben Schmidt hit the turn three wall and flipped on lap 18. The final seven laps saw Justin Erickson, Alex Pokorski and T.J. Haddy slip past before Post came home with a career-best sixth place A-main showing. "We didn't really do a whole lot different for qualifying," Post said. "We changed our starting stagger and just went into it with a mentality to go out and see what happens. The heat win was a first in the Sprint Car. We had a few heat wins in the Street Stock in 2021. But those didn't feel nearly as good as this one did. "After watching the track evolve throughout the rest of the heat races, I knew no matter what kind of track work they did, it was going to dry out," he said. "I was hoping the track would be smooth, so we tried some new shock adjustments and a few different small adjustments to the car with a goal of finishing in the top five, while trying not to put too much pressure on getting a particular result. We just wanted to have fun and try out some new adjustments. I was very pleased with the way the race went and I was very, very pleased with the results." The Randy Post Racing Team will return to action with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series for the annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26. The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and IMCA Modifieds will also be in action. Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with warm-ups at 6 p.m. and hot laps to follow before opening ceremonies at 7:15 p.m. Post will complete a doubleheader weekend with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA 360 Sprint Car Series at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 27, which will also feature the third scheduled Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event of the 2024 campaign at The Plymouth Dirt Track. The Sheboygan Flooring B Mods round out the card. Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with "on-track action" scheduled to commence at 5:30 p.m. Sponsorship partners and supporters of Randy Post and the 2024 Randy Post Racing Team include Luedtke Electric, Sunset Auto, Akright Auto, Oostburg Automotive and Progress Manufacturing Inc.

  Pokorski nets top-five, vaults to peak of PDTR 360 Sprint Car heap

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 23, 2024 - As the 2024 racing season traverses the half-way point, the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team appears to be hitting its stride. In a season hindered by rainouts and curfew-infringed events, Pokorski completed the team's fourth full night of competition in 11 tries with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars by turning in a strong fourth place A-main performance at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 20 to move to the top step in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car points standings. The fifth-year Sprint Car driver opened the night by qualifying ninth overall in the 23-car field with a lap of 13.707 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. After the scheduled outside front row starter scratched from the race, the West Bend, Wis. driver moved up a spot to roll off from the outside front row starting position in the first eight-lap PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association heat race. The 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Most Improved Driver Award winner ducked low to slip past polesitter Scott Conger and take the lead in the second turn of the opening lap. Pokorski cruised from there to post his second PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race victory of the 2024 campaign. A 10-car inversion saw Pokorski start fourth in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main. Pokorski drove a smooth race on the smooth, dry and multi-groove racing surface while hovering between third and sixth in the running order. When the leaders hit heavy lapped traffic on lap 14, Pokorski skillfully weaved through a gaggle of slower cars to secure the fifth spot before a red flag appeared on lap 18 when Ben Schmidt collided with the turn three wall and flipped. When the race resumed, Pokorski was able to pick up one more spot as he worked his way past Randy Post to secure fourth on lap 21. The new PDTR 360 Sprint Car points leader held on over the final four laps to secure a fourth-place finish, which marked his second top-five and fifth top-10 main event showing of the 2024 PDTR-MSA season. "We had good speed all night," Pokorski said. "I needed to find the top a little sooner near the end of the feature. If I had found it a lap or two sooner, we could've finished third. It's fun to race back and forth with some of the guys. I think the competition has improved a bit this year, so it has required us to work harder to get top-five finishes. I'm looking forward to the doubleheader this weekend." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete in a doubleheader weekend with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series starting with the annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26. The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and IMCA Modifieds will also be in action. Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with warm-ups at 6 p.m. and hot laps to follow before opening ceremonies at 7:15 p.m. The team's double dip racing weekend wraps up at The Plymouth Dirt Track with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday, July 27.

  Alex Pokorski keeps it steady in MSA Eagle River Speedway return

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 9, 2024 - While the 2024 racing season has been far from predictable from a weather angle, Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team have been pillars of consistency in Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition with the latest example of which coming via a solid sixth-place showing in the 25-lap main event at Eagle River Speedway in Eagle River, Wis. on Saturday, July 6. The seventh overall MSA event and fifth complete race night of the 2024 season drew a field of 21 Sprint Cars for the second-ever Winged Sprint Car race ever held at the unique third-mile D-shaped clay oval. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor opened the night by qualifying third overall in the 21-car field with a lap of 13.875 seconds. The West Bend, Wis. driver then lined up fourth in an eight-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car before moving past Clayton Rossmann and Bill Taylor to slip into the runner-up spot, where he ended the race. After rolling off from the sixth starting position in the 25-lap main event, the 2023 PDTR and MSA Most Improved Driver Award winner dueled with a handful of his fellow competitors, including Clayton Rossmann, Justin Erickson and T.J. Haddy, for positions in and around the top-five throughout the race. Following a spirited battle with Erickson in the closing laps, Pokorski pulled off a well-executed pass in turn four of the final lap to secure his fourth top-10 showing of the 2024 MSA campaign with a sixth-place finish in a race won by Ben Schmidt. "We have been starting nights out really well," Pokorski said. "We just need a bit more speed come feature time. It was fun to race side-by-side with guys in the feature, even though we didn't go anywhere. The Eagle River track is very nice. I wish it were closer to home so that we could race there more frequently." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team will return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 13 for the annual Plymouth Racing Wall of Fame Induction Night Program, during which the names of eight drivers (Fuzzy Fassbender, Donny Goeden, Dave Haag, Steve Hoffmann, Randy Markwardt, Pete Ostrowski, Steve Schad and K.J.

  Post pads notebook with solid PDTR run

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 2, 2024 - Negotiating a tricky track surface with the poise of a seasoned veteran gave Randy Post the opportunity to add to his stockpile of valued information for future implementation in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 29. In his third full PDTR program of the 2024 campaign, Post opened the night by timing in 19th in the 24-car field with a lap of 14.288 seconds. The third-year Sprint Car racer then started fifth and placed seventh in the third PDTR-MSA eight-lap heat race, which was contested on a significantly undulating track surface. "Qualifying went well," Post said. "The car was a touch loose. We could have adjusted better for the track. The heat race was a mess. There were cars almost spinning all over on the start. That caused us to lose a spot right away, but the car felt good." After a track rework yielded a more level racing surface, the Oostburg, Wis. competitor started and finished 19th in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event, which was won by Robbie Pribnow. "The feature went really well for it being a one-lane track," Post said. "We tried finding different lines that worked. However, we just lost spots as soon as we came off the bottom. I would like to give the track crew huge props for helping to make the track smoother than it was in the heats. They did the best they could with the time they had and I appreciate them." The Randy Post Racing Team is set to take a short break from competition to address chassis and motor issues. "We won't be heading to Eagle River for the MSA race this Saturday," he said. "I found out on Sunday morning that our chassis broke on Saturday night. So, we are going to get it up to R&H and see if we can have it back in time before the July 13th race at Plymouth. We also have some motor issues that need to be addressed before the next race." After taking the upcoming weekend off, the Randy Post Racing team is scheduled to return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 13 for the annual Plymouth Racing Wall of Fame Induction Night Program, during which the names of eight drivers (Fuzzy Fassbender, Donny Goeden, Dave Haag, Steve Hoffmann, Randy Markwardt, Pete Ostrowski, Steve Schad and K.J. Skelton), three track workers (Lee Glomski, John Laack and Bill Krueger) and the McMullen racing family will be added to the track's Wall of Fame.

  Alex Pokorski tallies third top-10, eyes Eagle River jaunt

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 2, 2024 - After exhibiting plenty of speed right of the box, Alex Pokorski held tight throughout the night to secure his third top-10 A-main showing of the 2024 season behind the wheel of the No, 4 Akright Auto Racing Team car in a 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 29. The fifth-year 360 Sprint Car competitor opened the night by ripping off the overall fastest time in group qualifying among the 24 cars in the field with a lap of 13.363 seconds around the historic third-mile clay oval. The 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Most Improved Award recipient started fourth and came home second in the first 10-lap High Limit heat race. Pokorski rolled off eighth in the 25-lap MSA-PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main and hung around the top-10 on a tricky dry, slick and dusty racing surface throughout the event. The West Bend, Wis. driver rallied in the latter stages of the race to secure a seventh-place finish in a race won by Robbie Pribnow. The result was Pokorski's third top-10 A-main showing in five MSA-PDTR 360 Sprint Car main events during the 2024 campaign. "The night started very well and we had a solid car all night," Pokorski said. "Unfortunately, doing well early starts us mid-pack for the feature. I wish we were able to get past a few more cars in the feature, but that's racing sometimes." Paul Pokorski made his third start of the 2024 season behind the wheel of Spyder Akright's 53A car. Paul qualified 16th overall with a lap of 13.986 seconds before starting and finishing seventh in the first eight-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race. The 32nd-year driver then topped off the night by advancing three positions from the 17th starting position to finish 14th in the 25-lap main event. "I thought the car was okay in qualifying in the heat race," Paul said. "It wasn't spot on, but it was okay. We made pretty big changes throughout the night and the crew worked really hard. The track was kind of different than most other nights and I thought pretty good considering all the rain we've had." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to make its second trip to Eagle River Speedway for an Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event on Saturday, July 6 in Eagle River, Wis. Also on the card are 600 Micro Sprints, 300 Junior Sprints, B Mods and the Milwaukee Stock Car Association Vintage Modifieds.

  Hartmann powers through tough four-race 'Maverick Mayhem' Indiana swing

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 26, 2024 - There were highs, there were lows and a little bit of everything in between as Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing team tackled an ultra-challenging four-race 'Maverick Mayhem' weekend of 410 Sprint Car racing action co-sanctioned by the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association and Honest Abe Roofing Maverick Winged Sprint Car Series contested at four different Indiana speed plants on four consecutive nights running Thursday, June 20 through Sunday, June 23. The "Maverick Mayhem" festivities kicked off at Lincoln Park Speedway nestled in the city of Putnamville, Ind. with a voluminous field of 55 410 Sprint Cars packing the pit area for the highly anticipated event on the 5/16th-mile banked dirt oval on Thursday, June 20. In his Lincoln Park Speedway debut, Hartmann opened the night by qualifying 21st overall in the 55-car field with a lap of 11.812. The third-year 410 Winged Sprint Car competitor started and finished sixth in the third eight-lap IRA-Maverick heat race before opening ninth and placing seventh in the first 12-lap B main to miss transferring to the A-main by four spots. The 87A Hartmann Racing crew then packed up and headed to another first-time track for the team, Bloomington Speedway in Bloomington, Ind., for the Kevin Huntley Memorial on Friday, June 21. Hartmann turned in the 28th fastest overall qualifying lap in the stout 47-car field with a 10.982-second tour of the quarter-mile high-banked red clay oval. After starting fifth in the fourth 10-lap IRA-Maverick heat race, Hartmann fell back five spots to place 10th on the rapidly slicked-off racing surface. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner then started 10th and moved up one position to come home ninth in the second 12-lap IRA-Maverick B-main to bring his night to a close. Night No. 3 of "Maverick Mayhem" found the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing team pulling into the Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. for another night of IRA-Maverick competition on the venerable and tricky quarter-mile high-banked clay oval on Saturday, June 22. Hartmann adapted nicely to the third new track for the team in three straight nights by ripping off a lap of 12.541 seconds to place 14th overall in the stellar 51-car field. After starting on outside of the front row in the third eight-lap IRA-Maverick heat race, Hartmann got a big jump on the start and was battling for the lead heading into turn three of the opening lap when a monstrous wheel stand exiting turn four vaulted his 87A machine into the front stretch wall to bring what appeared to have the makings of a promising night to an abrupt conclusion. The 87A Hartmann Racing crew swiftly placed the Tri-State event in the rearview and turned their focus to preparing the team's backup car to compete in the fourth and final installment of the four-racing "Maverick Mayhem" swing at the high-speed, half-mile Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind. on Sunday, June 23. With 37 cars on hand, Hartmann registered the 12th fastest overall qualifying lap in 17.802 seconds. After launching from the third starting spot in the second eight-lap IRA-Maverick heat race, Hartmann came home fourth to secure a transfer spot into his first "Maverick Mayhem" A-main of the humblingly difficult four-race stretch. Hartmann lined up 15th in the 24-car field and dipped four spots to place 19th in the 20-lap A-main to bring the grueling "Maverick Mayhem" mini-series to a close. "That was a tough weekend," Hartmann said. "We struggled during the first couple of nights and had some bad luck. We found speed at Tri-State before disaster struck in the heat race. "The team worked hard on Sunday morning and got us ready for Terre Haute," he said. "I knew we had to pull out a feature start to close out the weekend. We missed the setup for the A-main, but we were happy to end the night with the car in one piece. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we're ready to get back to racing around home this weekend at Outagamie and Beaver Dam. I'm so proud of this team for never quitting all week. They give it their all!" All Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events can be viewed via live streaming at Floracing.com.

  Post makes headway in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 18, 2024 - For just the second time in 2024, Randy Post tasted Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main action and came away with an expanded array of notes to carry forward on Saturday, June 15 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. Post opened up the night by qualifying 14th overall in the 27-car PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car field with a lap of 12.860 seconds. The third-year Sprint Car racer then started and finished fifth in the second PDTR-MSA eight-lap heat race to earn a transfer spot to the 25-lap A main. "The car felt really good in qualifying and the heat race," Post said. "I struggled a little in the very beginning of the heat race, which caused us to lose one or two spots right at the start. Due to the misfortune of the 09 car [Clayton Rossmann], we were able to finish in the final transfer spot in the heat, which took a lot of weight off my shoulders on not having to run a very stacked B main." The Oostburg, Wis. rolled off from the 11th starting spot in the 22-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event and held his own throughout the swift, caution-free race to come home with a solid 16th-place showing in a race won by Ben Schmidt. "Our starting spot in the feature was very nice, but early on in the race one of our shocks went bad and my car would not handle," Post said. "I went into the feature with the goal to hold my own and try to prove to myself that we can run with the big guys even if we aren't supposed to. It helps greatly running with the top half of the field seeing how they are attacking each corner on the track and how aggressively they are driving each other. I know when I am comfortable, that's how I can expect the racing to be. "The A main was very clean and competitive and I would love to see all of our races go like that the rest of the season," he said. "I am very excited to take what we have learned in our short three-feature season to the next level to see if we can consistently be a top-10 car. If the driver can read the track better, we may have a shot at doing that." The Randy Post Racing Team will next be in action with the Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 22, along with the Badger Midgets, Grand Nationals and B Mods. Spectator gates will open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. Sponsorship partners and supporters of Randy Post and the 2024 Randy Post Racing Team include Luedtke Electric, Sunset Auto, Akright Auto and Oostburg Automotive.

  Alex Pokorski seizes spot on PDTR 360 Sprint Car podium

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 18, 2024 - After enduring a relatively low-key start to the 2024 Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car campaign, Alex Pokorski had everything planted full speed ahead as a spirited charge produced a podium showing in A-main competition Saturday, June 15 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. Pokorski opened the second full PDTR 360 Sprint Car program of the 2024 campaign by topping the 27-car field to earn his first fast qualifier award of the season with a tour of 12.450 seconds around the venerable third-mile clay oval. After starting and finishing fourth in the third PDTR-MSA heat race, Pokorski began the 25-lap main event from the eighth starting spot. The fifth-year Sprint Car racer was on the move from the start as he advanced past Justin Erickson to secure fourth on lap 3. On lap 6, eventual race winner Ben Schmidt powered past to briefly push Pokorski back to fifth. After racing in close quarters with Justin Erickson and Brandon Berth over the next 14 laps, the West Bend, Wis. driver finally nailed down fourth place by passing Erickson on lap 20. Four laps later, Pokorski slipped past T.J. Haddy to steal the third spot on the second-to-last lap of the race. Pokorski held on to secure a podium position with a third-place showing in the caution-free race. "In qualifying, both laps felt really fast, so I figured I had a good shot at quick time," Pokorski said. "The feature went well, and it felt really nice to have a solid night capped with a podium finish." In his second start and first full program of the 2024 campaign in the seat of Spyder Akright's 53A car, Paul Pokorski qualified 17th overall with a lap of 12.943 seconds. The 32-year racer advanced from seventh to sixth in the second PDTR-MSA heat race, but fell one spot short of transferring to the 25-lap main event. Paul Pokorski led the first five laps of the 12-lap PDTR-MSA B main before a caution flag was displayed for a spin involving Joseph Hintz in turn four. On the restart, Kurt Davis powered past Paul and assumed the lead. Over the next few laps Kevin Karnitz and Ellie Hensley shot past. However, Paul held on to finish fourth and secure a transfer spot into the 25-lap A main. The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion started 19th and wound up 17th in the caution-free 25-lap PDTR-MSA A-main. "I felt a little rusty early on in the night," Paul said. "The car felt pretty good in the B main, but we had a minor fuel pickup issue that cost us a win there. In the feature, the car was a little too tight. We're going to try a few different things when Spyder gets in the car next week and probably leave those changes in for me the following week if everything goes as planned. We had some fun and went home in one piece, which is sort of the goal with the 53A car. It helps keep racing fun when you don't have to thrash all week!" The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete with the Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 22, along with the Badger Midgets, Grand Nationals and B Mods.

  Hartmann flashes speed, pushes ahead in IRA action at Angell Park Speedway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 12, 2024 - A strong introduction and a solid conclusion could best describe Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team's performance in the seventh Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event of the 2024 campaign with Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. serving as the competitive stage Sunday, June 9. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor opened the annual Norm Nelson Classic racing program by qualifying third in the 30-car field after ripping off a rapid lap of 12.569 seconds around the historic third-mile clay oval. After lining up fourth in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann found the going difficult on the dry slick track surface as he slipped back three spots to finish in seventh place at the checkered flag and missed transferring to the A-main by a single position. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award recipient then started on the pole of the 10-lap IRA B-main and pulled away to post the victory by a full straight away over Shelby Bosie. After a complete reworking of the track surface, Hartmann lined up 18th in the 30-lap IRA A-main before falling back to 20th in the early going. Following an uneventful first half of the race, the Plymouth, Wis. native hit his stride in the second 15 laps of the event as he utilized the low groove to power past Danny Schlafer and Lance Fassbender on lap 16. Two laps later, Hartmann ducked under Shelby Bosie and Van Gurley Jr. before wheeling past Will Gerrits on lap 22 to claim the 14th position in the running order. Hartmann then moved in to apply heavy pressure to Jett Mann in the closing stages of the race before settling for a 14th-place showing in the caution-free race, which was won by Scotty Thiel. It was Hartmann's fifth top-15 A-main showing in seven 2024 IRA events. "We had a lot of ups and downs during the night," Hartmann said. "The pill draw for qualifying was key for the track conditions. The heat race didn't go in our favor. We regrouped and got our balance back in the car and salvaged a decent finish on the night. We got good notes for another night coming up at Wilmot this Saturday. We'll keep digging!" The 87A Hartmann Racing team was scheduled to compete in the fourth annual Road America Challenge IRA event at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 8. However, the event fell victim to rain. Hartmann is slated to compete this Saturday, June 15 with the IRA Sprint Car Series at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis.

  Motor issues stall Arenz at Angell Park Speedway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 12, 2024 - It was night Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team would like to toss into File 13, as mechanical maladies brought their participation in a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event to a premature end Sunday, June 9 at Angell Park Speedway in Angell Park, Wis. Arenz opened the annual Norm Nelson Classic on a high note by qualifying fifth in the 30-car field with a lap of 12.598 seconds. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion then rolled off third in the second eight-lap IRA heat race. Arenz struggled throughout the race as Jordan Goldesberry, Joel Meyers Jr. and Jake Neuman moved past the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver. However, Arenz still managed to hold on to finish sixth and earn a spot in both the IRA dash and A-main lineups. Arenz's 25T machine did not return to the track for the remainder of the racing program as a motor issue forced the team to scratch from the dash and A-main. "Near the end of the heat race, the motor dropped a valve and hurt the motor," Arenz said. "Unfortunately, our other two motors are not finished yet. We are not sure about our status for the rest of the season as of now. "The good news is I got my MSD box back from the IRA, after it got sent out to be checked for traction control," he said. "Everything was legal." The Travis Arenz Motorsports team was scheduled to compete in the fourth annual Road America Challenge IRA event at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 8.

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 4, 2024 - For the fifth time in his three-year 410 Sprint Car racing career, Austin Hartmann embraced the opportunity to compete with the best Sprint Car racers in the world and gain valuable experience in the process, during a NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series A-main event at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, May 31. The Plymouth, Wis. competitor, who began his 410 Sprint Car career in 2022, turned a lap of 11.915 seconds in qualifying to finish 24th overall in the 31-car field. Hartmann then advanced from sixth to fifth in the fourth eight-lap WoO heat race to secure a direct transfer spot into the 30-lap NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws main event for the fifth time in his burgeoning career. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award recipient put together a consistent outing in the WoO headliner, while sticking primarily to the inside groove of the Beaver Dam Raceway third-mile facility. Hartmann held strong for the entirety of the evening's showcase race to claim a 21st-place finish in the 30-lap main event. "We pulled the spare car down to get some notes on it," Hartmann said. "The team is super happy with it. We're excited and ready to chase a win as we head back to Plymouth this weekend for the Road America Challenge." The second half of the scheduled NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws doubleheader was scraped due to persistent rain and wet grounds at the Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, June 1.

  Pokorski focuses forward after Angel Park setback

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 4, 2024 - A promising start ended with a disappointing conclusion for Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team in Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. The fifth-year 360 Sprint Car racer opened up the event on a strong note by qualifying fourth overall in the 23-car MSA field with a lap of 14.228 seconds around the historic third-mile clay oval. After lining up second in the third eight-lap MSA heat race, Pokorski held his position to finish in the runner-up spot to gain the fifth starting spot in the 25-lap MSA main event. In the early laps of A-main action, the West Bend, Wis. driver searched for a comfort groove on the extremely rough track surface. After falling back to 10th in the running order, Pokorski worked his way back up to eighth through the course of four separate caution and red flag periods. On lap 20, the 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner, got sideways in turn four after hitting a pair of treacherous ruts before collecting Bill Taylor. The contact ended Pokorski's night with heavy damage to his No. 4 Akright Auto machine. He was credited with a 17th-place finish. "We had a very solid night going in qualifying and the heat race," Pokorski said. "The track was very rough all night all night. In the A-main, I was racing closely with someone and just missed my entry to the corner. I bobbled over one rut and collected the car just in time to hit another rut, which sent the car a little too sideways. Unfortunately, Bill Taylor was collected and we both tore up our cars pretty good." A scheduled Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA 360 Sprint Car event on Saturday, June 1 at The Plymouth Dirt Track was canceled due to rain. Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team are scheduled to compete with the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars as part of the fourth annual Road America Challenge on Saturday, June 8 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. The event, which will also feature the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car series and PDTR Grand Nationals, will have grandstand gates opening at 4:30 p.m. with "on-track" action commencing at 5:30 p.m. Sponsors and supporters for the 2024 Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team include Akright Auto, Mulch Express of Wisconsin, Lynch Buick GMC West Bend, Countryside Designs, Goeden Auto Body, Petersen Septic Systems, Wisconsin Bank and Trust, Professional Plating, Ace Hardware (Kiel and Sheboygan Falls locations), Cedar Valley Hunt Club, Real Estate Property Shop-Sue Erdmann, Bonafide Security Solutions, Novak's Service Center, RC Custom Design and Pedal Down Promotions.

  Post acquaints nicely in MSA Angell Park debut

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 4, 2024 - Following a stilted start to the 2024 season due to rain and illness, Randy Post returned to action by making his first trek to historic Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. for an Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event on Sunday, June 2. Post, who sat out the rain-shortened Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA event at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 18 due to illness, turned in a qualifying time of 16.120 seconds in his first official laps on the venerable third-mile clay oval. After starting seventh in the second eight-lap MSA heat race, the third-year Sprint Car competitor finished eighth. After rolling off from the 22nd starting spot in the 25-lap A-main, Post drove a smooth and consistent race on a fast and rutted track surface, while preserving through four cautions and one red flag to advance six spots en route to a 16th place finish in his second MSA main event of the 2024 season. "It was the first time for me racing a Sprint Car outside of Plymouth," Post said. "The track was definitely different. I had never seen a track that rough. However, I can understand why a majority of people claim it to be the best track in the state. It was a lot of fun to drive and experience racing at a different track. "As far as comparison to Plymouth, we used our Plymouth starting baseline all night with one or two adjustments," he said. "As a driver, it taught me how to be on the gas most of the race, while using the brakes to turn. Our goal for last night was to go down there with an open mind and soak in all the information other teams would help us with. It was a huge learning experience for us and I would say we achieved our goal of going down there and having fun." The Randy Post Racing Team is scheduled to return to Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action for the fourth annual Road America Challenge at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 8, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate 410 Sprint Car Series and PDTR Grand Nationals. Spectator gates will open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Sponsorship partners and supporters of Randy Post and the 2024 Randy Post Racing Team include Luedtke Electric, Sunset Auto, Akright Auto and Oostburg Automotive. The Randy Post Racing pit crew members are Kirby and Nicole Post, Tiffany and Thomas Chamberlian, Brendan Ostrowski, Erin Schneider, Colton Chamberlian, Heidi Haver and the Kaat Racing family.

  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.

  Pokorski banks first IRA 410 Sprint Car A-main start at Wilmot Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 28, 2024 - In just his second start in a 410 Sprint Car, Alex Pokorski got his first taste of main event competition behind the wheel of the No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team machine in the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Founders' Night event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 25. After falling just one position short of qualifying for the A-main in his 410 Sprint Car debut with the IRA at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie on Sunday, May 19, Pokorski qualified 17th in the 33-car field with a lap of 13.263 seconds around the three-eighths mile, semi-banked clay oval. The 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Most Improved Driver Award winner then started and finished fifth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race to gain a berth in his first career IRA A-main. The West Bend, Wis. driver rolled off 19th in the 24-car IRA main event field and drove a smooth and consistent race through a pair of cautions and a red flag session to advance to 16th in the running order on lap 22. After the fourth and final yellow flag slowed the pace, Pokorski held strong in the closing laps to secure an 18th-place finish in a race won by Scotty Neitzel. "I wanted to make the A-main and continue learning," Pokorski said. "I felt comfortable in the car, but we still have plenty to keep learning. We battled a few issues with brakes and the engine throughout the night, so we were happy with the progress we made. At Angel Park, we were 25th out of 29. In Wilmot, we were 18th out of 33. Hopefully, we can keep heading in the right direction." Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team are scheduled to compete in a Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car doubleheader at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 1 and Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, June 2. The fifth-year Sprint Car driver will return to Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MSA 360 Sprint Car action on Saturday, June 1 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. with the Super Six Late Model Series, Grand Nationals and B Mods also on the card. Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing starting at 6 p.m. One night later, Pokorski is scheduled to compete with the MSA 360 Sprint Car Series at Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, June 2.

  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."

  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. 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, Arenz and his team will head to 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. for the traditional Memorial Day eve IRA event on Sunday, May 26.

  Pokorski makes 410 premiere at Angell Park, Wilmot on deck

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 21, 2024 - In the midst of his fifth season of 360 Sprint Car action with the Akright Auto Racing Team, Alex Pokorski stepped out of his comfort zone to get his first jolt of 410 Sprint Car competition in his debut appearance with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, May 19. The West Bend, Wis. driver fired off his 410 Sprint Car career by qualifying 27th in the 29-car field with a lap of 13.065 seconds. Pokorski then started and finished ninth in the third IRA eight-lap heat race to claim the ninth starting spot in the 12-lap B main. Needing to finish in the top six to earn an A-main berth, the 2023 Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner maintained the ninth spot through the first seven laps of the B main before a caution flag was displayed on lap 8 for Tyler Brabant's spin in turn four, which bunched the field. Following the restart, Pokorski ducked underneath both Lance Fassbender and Will Gerrits to climb into the seventh spot. Over the final two laps of the race, Pokorski moved in to pressure Kris Spitz for the sixth and final A-main transfer position. However, Pokorski's spirited bid to qualify for his first career IRA 410 Sprint Car A main fell just a car length short as he had to settle with a seventh place showing. "We learned a few things in terms of how to set up the car, and I got the feel of how to drive it as the night progressed," Pokorski said. "The tires, weight distribution and horsepower are all different in the 410s, so we have plenty to keep learning. We had fun. We look forward to getting back out with the 410 this Saturday at Wilmot." On Saturday, May 18, the team competed with the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars in the Sprint Sprintacular event, which also featured the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Auto Meter Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series. Pokorski was the fastest qualifier in the first heat race group and fifth fastest overall in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.635 seconds. Pokorski started fourth and finished third in the first PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car eight-lap heat race to secure the outside second row starting spot in the scheduled 25-lap PDTR-MSA A main. However, the evening's 360 Sprint Car main event fell victim to the city of Plymouth's 11 p.m. curfew. All A-main money and points were evenly distributed to each competitor in the 25-car field. Paul Pokorski made his first appearance of the 2024 season in the seat of Spyder Akright's 53A 360 Sprint Car at The Plymouth Dirt Track on May 18. The 32-year racing veteran did not record a qualifying lap due to a transponder issue. After starting seventh in the third PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski worked past rookie Cody Schlafer to place sixth and fall just short of earning a top-five A-main transfer spot. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion did not return to the track for the remainder of the racing program as both the PDTR-MSA B main and A main events were canceled due to the 11 p.m. curfew. With the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars idle, the team will compete with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series for the 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.

  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."

  (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.

  Pokorski opens PDTR 360 campaign in hard-charging fashion, plans IRA 410 debut

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 14, 2024 - After enduring a couple of false starts, the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team officially fired up the 2024 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car campaign by snagging hard-charger honors in A-main competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 11. Pokorski took to the track for the first time in 2024 in Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, April 27. After qualifying eighth in the 23-car field, the West Bend, Wis. driver scored his first victory of the in the third eight-lap heat race. The 2023 PDTR-MSA Most Improved Driver Award winner was scheduled to start third in the 25-lap A main. However, rain washed out the remainder of the program. Following a rain out at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 4, Pokorski opened the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car program on Saturday, May 11 by qualifying 18th in the 22-car field with a lap of 13.632 around the third-mile clay oval. After starting the third eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race on the pole, Pokorski came home second to gain the 14th starting position in the first 25-lap main event of the 2024 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car season. The fifth-year 360 Sprint Car competitor worked his way steadily through the field, breaking into the top 10 by passing rookie Clayton Rossmann on lap 13 before advancing past Chris Larson to take ninth on lap 17. With two laps to go, Pokorski slipped past Brandon Berth and nipped Justin Erickson's slowing machine at the finish line to turn in a seventh place showing in a caution-free race won by T.J. Smith. "The track dried out faster than we anticipated, so we weren't set up for a dry surface in qualifying," Pokorski said. "I tried to search around but I didn't get a good lap down. That put us behind for the night. "I was happy to move up seven spots in the A main," he said. "I just wish there would have been a caution mid-way through the race to bunch up the field. That would've helped us get a few more spots." The team is scheduled to compete in a doubleheader weekend of competition with Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action on the slate for Saturday, May 18, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate 410 Sprint Car Series and Autometer wingLESS Sprint Car Series on the card for the all-Sprint Car event.

  Post fires off to quick PDTR 360 Sprint Car start

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 14, 2024 - Randy Post kicked off his third season of Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association competition by registering a solid top-15 effort in the first full night of the 2024 campaign Saturday, May 11 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. Post, who placed 18th in the final PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings, opened the evening by qualifying 16th in the 22-car field with a tour of the historic third-mile clay in 13.553 seconds. After starting on the outside of the front row in the third PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race, Post fell back two spots to bring home a fourth-place finish. Post rolled off 12th in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event and set a smooth pace to register a 14th place finish in a race won by T.J. Smith. "Qualifying went really well as we qualified third in our heat race group," Post said. "We took some notes from last year that worked for us when we saw this kind of track and it worked again. I completely missed the setup in the heat and finished fourth after starting second. In the A main, I was following a large group all race, while racing for position. I could have had a top-10 finish if I would've driven harder. "The car handled amazingly throughout the feature and was able to push it harder each lap as I felt comfortable," he said. "I am really looking forward to the rest of the season, especially with the progress we are making this year so far. I would like to see the same track we had this week and build off of our 'baseline' set up we figured out this week." The team is scheduled to return to Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 18, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate 410 Sprint Car Series and Autometer wingLESS Sprint Car Series.

  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.

Travis Arenz Motorsports Sponsor Showcase - Don and Lynn Kiel Don and Lynn Kiel's first date was attending a race at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. in June 1998 and they have been together ever since, marrying on Feb. 14, 2005. Lynn spent her working career in the banking industry retiring after 39 years in 2017 as an assistant vice-president at a local Manitowoc bank. Lynn's interest in racing started when she attended the races at the 141 Speedway as a child with her dad, Andy Endries. RIP ANDY! Don's interest in racing started when he bought Dean Divine's Modified in the early 1970s. Don's driving experience involved Modifieds and Mini Sprints, as well as 360 Sprint Cars at Manitowoc Expo Speedway in 2011 and 2012. Don spent four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting the night of his graduation party. He was honorably discharged after four years in 1967 as an Airman First Class. Don was a Minuteman Missile electrician serving as team chief his last year and actually got to take part in the test firing of four Minuteman Missiles at Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc, Calif. Don was based at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. for 41 months. Don started flying in Cheyenne at the age of 19, secured his first flying job three days after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force at age 22 and retired at age 60. He retired as Senior Captain on the 300-passenger Airbus A 330-300 flying to London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. He has logged over 30,000 hours of flying time with a lot of stories to tell. For a glimpse of Don's career, Google Don Kiel Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame.

Don and Lynn continue to fly his 1952 Cessna 170B, both on wheels and skis in the winter. Don loves to say, "It's pretty cool when your vocation and avocation are one and the same!" "We started out sponsoring Travis Arenz by buying him a set of rear tires five years ago and the rest is history," Don Kiel said. "Travis is a very talented racer from the tiniest detail to the actual racing. I love to watch Travis feel the track out and then work his magic. I sponsor Travis as I feel he is one of the best!"
