(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 28, 2026 – Alex Pokorski and the GR8 Team pocketed two more valuable learning experiences competing against top regional and national competitors with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series in the western portion of Wisconsin July 24-25.

Pokorski got off to a quick start at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, July 24, qualifying fifth in the 30-car field in 12.151 seconds. After taking seventh in the second IRA heat race, Pokorski secured a spot in the A main by placing second in the B Main.

After rolling off 20th, the West Bend, Wis. native advanced three positions to come home 17th in the 30-lap headliner.

Pokorski and the GR8 crew headed to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, July 25 for the Jerry Richert Memorial.

He qualified 18th in Flight A in 13.022 seconds before placing sixth in the second heat race. A solid second-place run in the first 10-lap B Main gave Pokorski the 23rd starting spot in the main event.

The seventh-year driver then charged up seven spots to nail down a 16th-place showing in the 30-lap A main to close out the two-race weekend.

“I was happy to have Phil [Mock] helping with setups again this weekend,” Pokorski said. “It gave us a different perspective and new ideas. We tried different setups and I was happy with the car. I enjoyed the weekend overall.”

Next up for the Alex Pokorski-GR8 Team is an open event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 8.

Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 5:45 p.m. and racing at 6:45 p.m.
