(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 28, 2025 –Travis Arenz battled through a handful of challenges to pile up two more top-10 A-main showings during a doubleheader weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 24 and 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Sunday, May 25.

The 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champ kicked off the Memorial Day Weekend twin bill by qualifying fifth in the 36-car field at Wilmot Raceway on May 24 with a lap of 12.409 seconds.

After starting on the pole of the second IRA heat race, Arenz cruised to his second heat race victory of the 2025 season to earn a dash position. However, mechanical gremlins prompted Arenz to withdraw from the first dash.

“Unfortunately, the engine’s coolant temp spiked,” Arenz said. “Without wanting to possibly cause more damage to the motor, we pulled the backup car down. I did well in qualifying and won my heat race. I was supposed to be in the dash, but decided it was smart to pull off and get the backup car ready before the feature.”

Despite encountering less-than-ideal track conditions for passing, Arenz remained undeterred as he blasted the cushion from the 23^rd starting position to secure a solid eighth-place showing.

One night later, Arenz qualified 12^th in the 30-car field at 141 Speedway. After starting on the pole, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver earned his second heat race victory of the weekend to set himself up for his fifth dash appearance of the 2025 season.

After placing fourth in the first four-lap dash, Arenz rolled off from the seventh starting position for the 30-lap main event. Arenz held his own throughout the first half of the race before coming home seventh on a rubber-down one-lane racing surface.

“We got up early Sunday morning and swapped motors into my main car and did maintenance before heading to 141,” Arenz said. “The track conditions at 141 weren’t the most favorable. I started seventh in the feature and finished in the same spot. There wasn’t much passing during any race throughout the night due to track conditions, but we gave it our all.”

The IRA is off over the next two weeks. In the meantime, Arenz plans to enter the High Limit Racing Series event at 141 Speedway on Tuesday, June 3.
