  87A Hartmann Racing preps for IRA trifecta

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 14, 2025 - With the first three events of the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series planted in the rearview mirror, the 87A Hartmann Racing team is ready to pick up the pace with Austin Hartmann at the controls for a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series tripleheader Friday, May 16 through Sunday, May 18. On Saturday, May 10, the team checked into Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill., for the third round of the 2025 IRA campaign. Hartmann began the night by qualifying 25th in the 32-car field with a lap of 15.131 seconds. From there, the fifth-year Sprint Car pilot started and finished seventh in the first 8-lap IRA heat race to miss out on an A-main transfer spot. Finding himself on the outside looking into the 24-car A-main field, the 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award winner mounted a spirited attempt to qualify for the main event in the B main. The Plymouth, Wis. driver rolled off ninth in the 10-lap B main and advanced to within sight of a transfer spot as the laps wound down. Despite a highly determined effort, Hartmann ended up fifth when the checkered flag flew to place one spot short of securing an A-main berth. "There isn't much we can take away from Sycamore," Hartmann said. "We made a solid effort in the B main racing against darts with no fletchings. It's best to have a short-term memory in this sport. We'll see what we can do starting at Dodge County and heading through a busy three-race weekend." The team will compete in an IRA tripleheader weekend starting Friday, May 16, for the Harry Neitzel Tribute race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., and spectator gates open at 5 p.m. On-track action begins at 6 p.m., and opening ceremonies are scheduled for 7:15 p.m. On Saturday, May 17, the team will head to its hometown track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. - with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars. Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action anticipated at 5:30 p.m. The tripleheader weekend concludes with IRA competition at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., on Sunday, May 18. Pit gates open at 1:30 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4 p.m. Hot laps begin at 5 p.m. with racing to follow. 87A Hartmann Racing 2025 sponsorship partners include Kristine Hartmann Pleasantview Realty, Shufflebotham Tree Service, The Dispensary, Metalcraft, Ludwig & Sons Trucking, Quasius Construction, Holler n' Hills, Rich's Truck & Auto Repair, Gibbsville Cheese, Hepfner Racing Products and Berryman Racing Shocks.

  Misfortune finds Arenz at Sycamore, IRA tripleheader awaits

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 14, 2025 - During his first two seasons of full-time Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition, Sycamore Speedway proved to be a natural fit for Travis Arenz with two runner-up showings behind the wheel of his Travis Arenz Motorsports Team 25T car. The third time wasn't quite the charm for Arenz at the Maple Park, Ill. three-eighths-mile semi-banked clay oval on Saturday, May 10, as an early mishap in the 30-lap A-main relegated the 18th year driver to a 16th place showing. Arenz qualified 11th in the 32-car field with a lap of 13.965 seconds. The 2021 and 2022 Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started and finished third to earn a berth in the 30-lap main event. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver started the 30-lap main event from the 12th starting spot and was settling into the race when he misjudged a turn and was forced to retreat to the work area on lap 5. After restarting the race at the rear of the field, Arenz weaved through the pack to come home with a respectable 16th-place finish. "The first half of the night actually went decently with what we had to work with for a track," Arenz said. "I was bummed we couldn't make the dash to work on the car for the feature. I got a little too anxious and clipped the infield tire in turns one and two in the feature, and bent the drag link and tie rod. We were able to pass a decent amount of cars back after restarting in the tail. The results don't show that we actually had a very good, balanced car overall." The 25T squad is now set for an IRA tripleheader weekend starting Friday, May 16, for the Harry Neitzel Tribute race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., and spectator gates open at 5 p.m. On-track action begins at 6 p.m., and opening ceremonies are scheduled for 7:15 p.m. On Saturday, May 17, the team will head to its home track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. - with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars. Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action anticipated at 5:30 p.m. The tripleheader weekend concludes with IRA competition at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, May 18. Pit gates open at 1:30 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4 p.m. Hot laps begin at 5 p.m. with racing to follow.

  Pokorski pushes through Sycamore bad luck, eyes IRA tripleheader

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 13, 2025 - In their first Sprint Car racing venture outside of the state of Wisconsin, Alex Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team overcame a mechanical issue to pull out a respectable showing in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association competition at Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. on Saturday, May 10. In the team's first-ever appearance at the three-eighths-mile semi-banked clay oval, Pokorski opened the night with an impressive ninth-place qualifying effort with the 32-car field with a lap of 13.776 seconds. Before the start of the first 8-lap IRA heat race, Pokorski suffered a part malfunction on his No. 4 Akright Auto machine, which put him behind the 8-ball for the rest of the evening. After stopping on the track and receiving repairs in the work area, the West Bend, Wis. native started the race at the rear of the field and finished eighth to miss out on an automatic berth into the A-main field. Pokorski lined up second in the 10-lap IRA B main and held on to place fourth to grab the final A-main transfer spot. He then started 24th in the 30-lap A main, moving up to 17th in the first 10 laps of the event. Pokorski fell back to 20th on lap 15 and held on over the final 15 laps of the race to record an 18th-place showing. "We had a bolt break that held the left side radius rod to the chassis as we were on the track, ready to line up for the heat race," Pokorski said. "That was disappointing because the track wasn't very receptive to good racing in the heats. It derailed our night a bit. But, I did have fun racing in the first half of the feature." The team is now focused on an IRA tripleheader starting Friday, May 16, for the Harry Neitzel Tribute race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. Pit gates open at 3 p.m. , and spectator gates openat 5 p.m. On-track action begins at 6 p.m. , and opening ceremonies are scheduled for7:15 p.m. On Saturday, May 17, the team will head to The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars.

  Arenz tallies IRA top five at Wilmot Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 7, 2025 - Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team continued their hot start to the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series campaign with a strong fifth-place showing in the Dick Colburn Classic on Saturday, May 3 at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion bolted out the gate by qualifying second overall in IRA qualifying with a lap of 12.899 seconds. Arenz started fourth in the second IRA heat race before moving up a spot to record a third-place finish and punch a ticket into the 30-lap main event. His qualifying and heat race efforts brought Arenz his second consecutive IRA dash appearance, during which he started second and raced to victory in the second four-lap dash to earn the outside front row starting spot in the 30-lap Dick Colburn Classic main event. The A main proved to be a bit challenging for Arenz as he dropped to fourth after Paul Nienhiser snuck past on lap 11. Following the second of two caution flags, Arenz settled into fifth place, which is where he finished the race to record his second consecutive top-five A-main showing. "The night went decently," Arenz said. "We had speed, but not enough at the end to get the job done. I'm happy with the night. But I'm not satisfied." This Saturday, May 10, the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team will head back to Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. with the IRA 410 Sprint Car Series. The Badger Midgets and IRA Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Arenz heads into an IRA event at Sycamore Speedway facility this Saturday, May 10 as the runner-up in the last two IRA events at the three-eighths mile semi-banked clay oval track facility in 2023 and 2024. "I enjoy Sycamore," Arenz said. "We've had two second-place finishes there in the last two years." It would be nice to leave that place on top instead of runner-up this year."

  87A Hartmann Racing Team displays grit in Wilmot IRA action

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 7, 2025 - Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team persevered through a challenge-filled evening of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car season competition to pull out a respectable showing in the Dick Colburn Classic at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 3. Hartmann opened the night on a good note by qualifying 12th overall in the large 37-car field with a lap of 13.185 seconds. However, mechanical issues struck the team just as Hartmann was set to push off for the first 8-lap IRA heat race. After changing an MSD box in the work area and pushing off for the race, Hartmann pulled back into the pits without turning a single lap of heat race action. After diagnosing a motor issue, the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team went about changing an engine for the B main. Stellar crew work allowed Hartmann to return to the track and start from the pole in the 12-lap B Main where he wound up second to advance to the Dick Colbun Classic main event. With a fresh motor under the hood, Hartmann rolled to a 19th-place finish in the 30-lap main event. "It was another night where we struggled," Hartmann said. "On a good note, we have the balance of the car right, so we are going in the right direction. On the downside, we hurt an engine before the heat race. But the team was able to get it changed in time to get us back out for the B main. It's been a rough start to the season. One of these races has to go our way soon." This Saturday, May 10, Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team are scheduled to return to Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. with the IRA 410 Sprint Car Series.

  Pokorski posts IRA best at Wilmot, Illinois trip awaits

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 6, 2025 - Alex Pokorski's knack for compiling smooth, consistent results was on full display in the second round of the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season as he steered his No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team machine to an IRA career-best 13th place showing in the Dick Colburn Classic Saturday, May 3 at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. In his sixth career start in the seat of a 410 Sprint Car, the West Bend native qualified 15th overall in the stout 37-car field with a lap of 13.370 seconds around the three-eighths-mile semi-banked clay oval. The sixth-year Sprint Car campaigner was scheduled to start third in the third 8-lap IRA heat race. However, when the pole car was penalized for jumping the initial start, Pokorski moved up a row to lead the field to the green flag from the pole. He fell back to third on the opening lap and held the spot for the duration to earn a transfer spot into the 30-lap Dick Colburn Classic A main. After firing off from the 14th starting spot in the 24-car field, Pokorski used a strong start to move up to 11th when the first of two yellow flags was displayed on lap 4. On the restart, the 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved 360 Sprint Car Driver Award winner surrendered a pair of positions to move into 13th place. Pokorski endured another caution flag on lap 20 to secure an IRA career-best 13th place A-main finish. "It was fun racing with the guys around 11th to 14th in the A main," Pokorski said. "The car felt stable and was better than when we were there last year with the 410."

  Arenz rockets to IRA runner-up at Beaver Dam Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 30, 2025 - Travis Arenz opened his 18th overall season of competition and third full-time campaign with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series in stellar fashion by guiding his 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports team entry to an impressive second place showing in the Glenn Hepfner Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 26. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver turned in a strong seventh-place qualifying run in the 29-car field with a lap of 11.812 seconds on the high-banked third-mile clay oval. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion turned an outside front row starting position in the first 8-lap IRA heat race into his first heat race victory of the 2025 campaign. Arenz then started on the pole in the second 4-lap IRA dash before coming home second to gain the fourth starting spot in the 30-lap headliner. A wide, slick, multi-groove racing surface proved to be right in Arenz's wheelhouse as he battled among the lead group of Jake Neuman, Blake Nimee and Scotty Thiel throughout the race. After dueling back and forth with Nimee and Thiel inside the top 10, Arenz finally seized control of the runner-up spot in the closing laps and held on to nail down a second place showing behind race winner Jake Neuman. "Overall, I'm pleased with how the night went," Arenz said. "I qualified decent, won my heat race and drew the pole for the dash. That's pretty much my ideal night. I was happy with how the track progressed throughout the night. It made for good multi-lane racing for the feature. I felt like the car was really good. I can definitely see the 25T being in victory lane this season. To do that, I think I need to be a little more aggressive in traffic than I was on Saturday night." Next up for the Travis Arenz Motorsports team is the IRA Dick Colburn Classic Open Wheel Spectacular at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 3. Non-Wing Crate Sprint Cars, Winged Crate Sprint Cars and Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Pit gates open at 2 p.m., and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. Hot laps will begin at 5:45 p.m., and racing will begin at 6:45 p.m. In the event of rain, Sunday, May 4 is the listed rain date.

In 30 410 Sprint Car events during the 2024 season, Hartmann tallied one top five, nine top 10 and 16 top 15 A-main showings, while recording one dash victory in seven dash appearances and winning one B main on the way to finishing a career-best seventh in the final 2024 IRA point standings. Hartmann is eager to begin another full-time run with the IRA while mixing in assorted starts with the World of Outlaws, High Limit, All Stars and FAST series to round out an ambitious schedule stacked with 43 events.
