(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 12, 2026 – After claiming his first Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association triumph of the 2026 campaign in his most recent outing, Travis Arenz celebrated his second A-main victory in the span of 13 days in a non-sanctioned open 410 Sprint Car event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 8.

Arenz, who earned his first IRA win of the season at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, Aug. 2, opened the night at Wilmot by topping the 14-car field with a fast lap of 12.594 seconds in qualifying.

After lining up on the pole of the first eight-lap heat race, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver placed second to gain the pole in the four-lap dash, which set the front two rows of the main event.

Arenz placed second in the dash to earn the outside front row starting spot in the 20-lap main event. The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion trailed race leader Clayton Rossmann in the early going before storming into the lead on lap 6.

Once out front, the current IRA point leader never looked back on the way to his second A-main victory of the 2026 season and sixth career 410 Sprint Car win in the caution-free race.

It also marked the 76th overall A-main victory of Arenz’s 19-season career spanning competition in the Outlaw Compact four-cylinder, Sport Mod, 360 Sprint Car and 410 Sprint Car divisions.

“Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome,” Arenz said. “With it not being a points night, I was able to try things that I normally wouldn’t. With the IRA being there in a couple of weeks, I wanted to see if the car worked with different setups than I have run in the past there and stay on top of my program. Typically, I have pretty decent results at Wilmot, but I always want to be better. We are now in the later point of the schedule, and with currently leading the point standings, it is crucial to have consistent finishes and be the best I can.”

After a weekend off, Arenz will resume Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association action at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 22 for the annual Kenosha County Fair night race before returning to Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, Aug. 23 for the annual Corn Fest event.
