(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 20, 2021 – One week after notching his first career heat race victory, second-year Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car competitor Alex Pokorski continued his progression as he found himself in the mix for a possible career-best A-main showing in his sixth Plymouth Dirt Track Racing main event of the 2021 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 17.

Pokorski was among 30 PDTR 360 Sprint Car drivers to sign in for the 12th event of the 2021 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track and his 19th overall career event behind the wheel of a 360 Sprint Car.

After lining up fifth in the third 10-lap heat race, Pokorski passed Scott Conger on the opening lap to move up to fourth. On lap 2, Adam Miller ducked under Pokorski, following a bobble in turn two, which dropped the West Bend driver back to fifth in the running order. However, Pokorski recovered to slip underneath Miller on lap 9 en route to a fourth-place finish and a berth in his sixth 25-lap A main of the 2021 PDTR season in 10 starts.

After rolling off 15th, Pokorski worked the high and low grooves of the wide, smooth and slick track surface to move past Blake Wondra into 11th place on lap 9. Following a series of three consecutive caution flags on lap 13 and 14, Pokorski continued to hold down the 11th spot, while taking aim at a career-best top-10 showing.

However, Pokorski found the going rough in the closing five laps as he fell back to finish 16th in his ninth career 360 Sprint Car A-main event, which won by Brandon McMullen.

“The car felt really good for the heat race and we were fast,” Pokorski said. “I made a couple of mistakes early on, but I was able to race back into fourth on the last lap. The A main went fairly well until the last few laps. Early on I was lucky to miss a couple of pile ups and I was able to move forward a few spots. For the last couple laps, I probably should’ve moved back to the top, but I tried to make the bottom work and ended up losing some spots.

“Moving forward, my focus is eliminating mistakes because even one or two mistakes in a race usually end up costing you a few spots,” he said.

The Pokorski Motorsports team will be in action The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 24 with Alex Pokorski scheduled to be in the driver’s seat for PDTR’s Dave Deicher Tribute Night program, which will feature 360 Sprint Cars, Late Models, Grand Nationals B Mods and a special appearance from the Vintage Modifieds.
