(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 7, 2021 – After over two months away from the driver’s seat, 29-year veteran Paul Pokorski returned to the cockpit of the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car during the annual Sheboygan County Fair race at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 4.

With 30 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars on hand and a large crowd of spectators in attendance for the Fair Night event, Pokorski started third in the third 10-lap 360 Sprint Car heat race.

After settling into the third spot at the start, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion ducked low to move past Chris Larson in turn one on lap three.

Pokorski was reeling in the first-place car of Kurt Davis when the caution flag flew for a spin involving Chris Clayton and Justin Miller in turn two on lap 5.

On the restart, Lance Fassbender worked around Pokorski to take over second and move the West Bend driver back to third in the running order, which is where he finished the race.

Pokorski then started 11^th in the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car  A main and utilized the low groove in the early stages of the race to hold down the 11^th spot. After the lone caution flag appeared on lap 7 for debris, Pokorski fell back to 13^th on the restart.

Starting on lap 14, the low-riding Pokorski engaging in a heated duel with the cushion-pounding machine of Tyler Brabant. Pokorski outbattled Brabant in the closing stages of the race to secure the 12^th spot at the conclusion of the race, which was won by Travis Arenz.

“The car was good but not great,” Pokorski said. “The driver was a little rusty. I felt really odd actually. I would have really liked to get out and run on the top, but it seems like the bottom was the way to go most of the night. We’re fighting a little gremlin that makes it difficult to drive at times. We can’t quite figure it out. Alex was struggling with the same thing from time to time.

“I will be in the car again next Saturday and will change some things and see if we can’t figure out our issue,” he said. “I was happy to get through the night with no major issues.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is set to return to action with Paul Pokorski in the driver’s seat at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 11.

Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 31, 2021 – What started as a promising evening of Midwest Sprint Car Association action, turned in an instant for upstart second-year 360 Sprint Car competitor Alex Pokorski, resulting in a significantly damaged race car and an early end to the team’s efforts at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 28.

Pokorski was among 32 MSA 360 Sprint Car drivers to sign in for the series’ third appearance of the 2021 season at high-banked Beaver Dam Raceway third-mile clay oval.

The West Bend driver opened the evening on a strong note by ripping off the eighth-fastest lap in MSA 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a lap of 13.057 seconds.

However, the third 10-lap MSA heat was not kind to Alex and the Pokorski Motorsports team as the third-starting Pokorski lost control and flipped in turn two on the opening circuit.

Pokorski was uninjured in the incident, and he was scored seventh in the race. However, his No. 4 Petersen Septic Systems-sponsored machine suffered extensive damage, which forced the team to scratch from the remainder of the program.

“The car was a little tight for qualifying, but we were still able to put a good lap in,” Pokorski said. “In the first corner of the heat race, the car just bicycled on me and I couldn’t save it. We wrecked three shocks, the rear end, torque tube, radius rods and of course both wings.”

The team was scheduled to compete in a Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car program on Friday, Aug. 27 in conjunction with the Dirt Kings Late Model Tour with Paul Pokorski behind the wheel. However, that event was cancelled due to rain.

The Pokorski Motorsports team will not compete in the fifth annual Midwest Sprint Car Association Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 3.

The following night, the team is scheduled to return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. during the Sheboygan County Fair for an all-Sprint Car program also featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series.

Hot laps are scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m. with IRA qualifying at 5 p.m.

Second-year 360 Sprint Car driver Alex Pokorski of West Bend collected his first career Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main top-10 finish with a ninth-place showing in the special 26-lap Dave Deicher Tribute Night Race at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 24. – RC Custom Design photo

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 27, 2021 – Second-year Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car driver Alex Pokorski continued his upward progression behind the wheel by notching is first career top-10 A-main showing in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Dave Deicher Tribute Night main event at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 24.

Pokorski was one of 25 PDTR 360 Sprint Car drivers to sign in for the special event, which was held in honor of longtime racer and PDTR and MSA flagman Dave Deicher, who passed away in May.

The West Bend driver drew the eighth starting spot in the second 10-lap 360 Sprint Car heat race and quickly moved up to seventh by passing Preston Ruh in the third turn of the opening lap.

On lap 4, the red flag was displayed for a flip involving Ben Schmidt, which moved Pokorski up to sixth on the ensuing restart. Pokorski powered past rookie Katelyn Krebsbach on the restart to assume fifth before setting his sets on the fourth-place car of Cole Possi.

On lap 6, Pokorski worked past Possi to secure fourth, which is where he finished the race to lock himself into his seventh 360 Sprint Car A-main of the 2021 season in 11 starts and 10^th overall main event in 20 career events.

Pokorski rolled off a career-best fifth in the special 26-lap Dave Deicher Tribute 360 Sprint Car A main and held his own at the front of the field in the early going on the wide, smooth and slick racing surface.

After Brandon McMullen and Travis Arenz passed the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports machine, Pokorski found himself running eighth when the lone yellow flag of the race appeared for Tyler Brabant, who spun in turn two while running third.

Pokorski restarted in the seventh spot and worked the high and low grooves over the final 11 laps in search of the fast way around the third-mile clay oval. In the closing laps Justin Erickson and Chris Clayton worked past Pokorski before the checkered flag fell on his career-best ninth-place A-main finish in a race won by Brandon McMullen.

“We were unlucky with the heat race draw, but we were able to pass four cars and get into the invert for the A main,” Pokorski said. “The car felt good in both the heat and feature. It felt good to be in the top 10. That was a goal of mine. Next, we will aim for a top five.

“I would like to thank Goeden Auto Body and Pedal Down Promotions for stepping up to offer $200 in sponsor challenge money if we would have won a heat race, B main or A main on Saturday night,” he said. “Even though we didn’t get that done, we appreciate the support.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is now set to compete in a Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader with Alex Pokorski in the driver’s seat both nights starting at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 31 in an all-open wheel event alongside the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Badger Midgets.

For those unable to attend, the race will be broadcast live on FloRacing.

Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

On Sunday, Aug. 1, the team will make its second appearance of the season at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. with the MSA 360 Sprint Cars joined by the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets.

(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 12^th event of the 2021 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track and his 19^th 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 15^th, Pokorski worked the high and low grooves of the wide, smooth and slick track surface to move past Blake Wondra into 11^th place on lap 9. Following a series of three consecutive caution flags on lap 13 and 14, Pokorski continued to hold down the 11^th 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 16^th 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.

Second-year 360 Sprint Car driver Alex Pokorski of West Bend earned his first career 10-lap heat race victory in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 10. – RC Custom Design photo

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 13, 2021 – Second-year Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car driver Alex Pokorski experienced the high of earning his first career heat race victory and the low of having a potential career-best A-main run spoiled by early contact with another car, during a Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program at The Plymouth Dirt Tack at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 10.

Pokorski was among 31 PDTR 360 Sprint Car drivers to sign in for the 11^th racing program of the 2021 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

The West Bend driver shook off a season-long streak of poor heat race pill draws by drawing the pole position of the fourth 10-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race.

Pokorski took advantage of his opportunity to start at the front of a heat race for the first time this season by outpowering outside front row starter Doug Wondra to grab the lead on the opening lap.

Pokorski survived one caution flag restart for a spin involving Adam Miller on lap 3 to pull away over the final seven laps to collect his first career 360 Sprint Car heat race victory.

The heat race win allowed Pokorski to earn his best career A-main starting spot as he rolled off seventh in the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car main event.

However, the promise of a strong A-main finish was dashed on lap 2 when Matt Rechek collided with Pokorski along the backstretch to bring out of the lone caution flag of the race. After retreating to the work area, Pokorski returned to restart the race from the 21^st spot.

Pokorski rode the low line on the smooth and black slick track surface throughout the final 23 laps en route to a 20^th-place finish in a race won by Will Gerrits.

“It was really nice to finally start on the front row of a heat race and I was able to be smooth and get the win,” Pokorski said. “The feature was a bit of a bummer because I felt we could’ve had a sixth- or seventh-place finish if we didn’t have the incident on lap 2. Luckily, we didn’t have major damage and we were able to finish the race.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is scheduled to return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 17 with Alex Pokorski scheduled to be in the driver’s seat for a PDTR program, which will featured 360 Sprint Cars, Late Models, Grand Nationals and B Mods.

Second-year driver Alex Pokorski steered the Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car to a career-best 11th place finish after starting 22nd in the 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A main at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Thursday, July 1. – RC Custom Design photo

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 6, 2021 – Two weeks after storming from 21^st to 11^th in recording his career-best 360 Sprint Car main-event finish at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis, second-year driver Alex Pokorski did one better by advancing 11 spots in PDTR 360 Sprint Car action to equal a personal-record 11^th place A-main effort as part of a special Road America NASCAR Weekend Kickoff event on Thursday, July 1.

Pokorski was among 30 PDTR 360 Sprint Car drivers to sign in for the all-Sprint Car program, which also included the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and was contested before the largest crowd of the 2021 season at Plymouth.

After lining up sixth in the first PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski dropped to seventh on the opening lap on the lighting fast and tricky track surface, which is where he finished the race.

Pokorski then rolled off ninth in the 15-lap B main needing to finish in the top six to earn a berth in the A-main field. After a red flag on the opening lap for a flip involving Katelyn Krebsbach, Pokorski started eighth following a complete restart.

The West Bend driver used the outside groove to power around Chris Clayton and Bill Taylor to take the sixth-place A-main transfer position on lap 3. Over the final 12 laps, Pokorski engaged in a heated duel with Kevin Karnitz as he tried both the high and low groove to gain the spot.

However, Karnitz turned back each of Pokorski’s challenges as he crossed the finish line sixth to gain a transfer spot to the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main.

After starting 22^nd in the main event, Pokorski rode the outside groove to 18^th on lap 3. Following a caution flag on lap 18 for a spin involving Will Gerrits, Pokorski restarted 16^th.

By lap 20, Pokorski moved up to 15^th before another red flag appeared on lap 24 for a flip involving Austin Hartmann. Pokorski restarted 13^th and powered around two more cars on the final green, white, checkered flag restart to cross the finish line with a career-best 11^th-place A-main finish in a race won by Travis Arenz.

While heat races have proved to be challenging for the sophomore 360 Sprint Car driver, Pokorski has been on a roll in his last two nights in the No. 4 car passing a grand total of 31 cars in B main and A main competition on Saturday, June 19 and Thursday, July 1.

“We had a very similar night to last time I was in the car at Plymouth,” Pokorski said. “It always feels good to be passing cars and moving forward. Hopefully, we can crack that top 10 soon. We still have to figure out our car for the heat races, but our adjustments for the B main and A main worked well.

“The car felt much better and I had much more freedom to run where I wanted to on the racing surface in both the B main and A main,” he said. “The track was heavy and had lots of rough spots. I had fun racing on it because it requires you to have a high level of control and trust in your car.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is scheduled to return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 10 with Alex Pokorski scheduled to be in the driver’s seat for a PDTR program, which will featured 360 Sprint Cars, Late Models, Grand Nationals and B Mods.

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 29, 2021 – After nearly six weeks out of the driver’s seat in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing action while helping his son, Alex, during his second year behind the wheel of a 360 Sprint Car, 29^th-year veteran Paul Pokorski was back in the saddle of the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Friday, June 25 for a special Friday evening Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car event.

Pokorski was one of 29 PDTR 360 Sprint Car entrants to check in for the ninth racing program of the 2021 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion started fifth in the first 10-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race and found the going tough on an ultra-fast and narrow track surface. Pokorski fell back to seventh on the opening lap and held that position throughout the duration of the race.

Pokorski then rolled off ninth in the 15-lap 360 B main needing to finish in the top six to advance to the evening’s 25-lap A main.

A strong start vaulted Pokorski past Scott Conger and Dylan Winkel into seventh on the opening lap. On lap 3, the West Bend driver ducked under Katelyn Krebsbach to take over the sixth spot.

Over the final five laps, Pokorski moved in to pressure Chris Clayton for the fifth spot. However, he was unable to pull off the pass and wound up sixth to gain a berth in the main event field.

Pokorski rolled off 22^nd in the 25-lap PDTR 360 main event and worked his way up to 19^th on lap 6 before moving past Bill Taylor to claim 18^th on lap 10.

Two laps later, leader Travis Arenz put Pokorski a lap down before the red flag appeared on lap 14 for a flip involving Adam Miller.

Per PDTR/MSA rules, Pokorski fell in line behind the leading car of Arenz along with four other lapped cars on the ensuing restart. Pokorski moved up to 16^th by passing Austin Hartmann shortly after the restart. However, Preston Ruh powered around Pokorski a few laps later to drop him to 17^th in the running order, which is where he finished in a race won by Travis Arenz.

“The car was definitely a handful early on,” Pokorski said. “I made a mistake on some set up stuff that we caught after the heat race and corrected. The car was much better in the B and I was pretty happy with the way that went.

“The car was much better than I was in the feature,” he said. “For some reason, I wasn’t trusting it to do what I wanted or expected, so I wasn’t driving it the way I should have. Once a started to trust the car, which was about the last 10 laps, it was actually pretty good. I was pretty disappointed with my performance in the car. I guess I felt rusty.”

Alex Pokorski was scheduled to compete in the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports car in a Midwest Sprint Car Association event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, June 26, which was cancelled due to rain.

The Pokorski Motorsports team is scheduled to return to action this Thursday, July 1 for a special all-Sprint Car event featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. to coincide with the NASCAR Cup Series weekend at nearby Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

Driving duties for the evening have yet to be decided depending on work schedules. Updates will be posted on the Pokorski Motorsports Facebook page.

Pit gates open at 1 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4 p.m. Hot laps will follow at 6 p.m. with racing slated to begin at 7 p.m.

Paul Pokorski (4) duels with Will Gerrits (21) during the third annual Midwest Sprint Car Association Dave “Hagar” Nelson Memorial Race at Outagamie Speedway Powered by EWSC Racing in Seymour, Wis. on Friday, June 18. – RC Custom Design photo

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 22, 2021 – While a doubleheader weekend of Midwest Sprint Car Association action for Pokorski Motorsports may have produced a decidedly mixed bag of results, it certainly ended up on a high note with second-year co-driver Alex Pokorski storming to a career-best 11^th-place showing in the 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A main at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 19.

The MSA twinbill weekend opened with the third annual Dave “Hagar” Nelson Memorial Race at Outagamie Speedway Powered by EWSC Racing in Seymour, Wis. on Friday, June 18. The team arrived just before hot laps after suffering a flat tire on its tow rig en route to the event honoring longtime Pokorski Motorsports supporter Hagar Nelson.

Paul Pokorski returned to the driver’s seat of the No. 4 machine after a four-week absence to start fifth in the first 10-lap MSA heat race. Pokorski held the fifth spot until Jack Vanderboom slipped past to move Pokorski back to sixth at the finish.

With 24 cars on hand for the event all cars advanced to the 25-lap A main. Pokorski started 15^th in the main event and dueled back and forth for the 14^th spot on the dry, slick and dusty track surface with fellow veteran driver Lance Fassbender for the majority of the first 17 laps of the race.

A caution on lap 18 prompted Pokorski to leave the track for the work area to address a smoking engine.

“Friday night was fun,” Pokorski said. “It was good to get back in the car and I was having a nice battle with Lance Fassbender during the feature. About 10 laps, in, I started to smell some oil and see smoke and wasn’t sure if it was coming from me or not. A few laps later when the caution came out, I was able to determine it certainly was us, so I pulled off to see if we could fix it. It was a valve cover gasket failure that caused the leak. We weren’t able to get back out, but it was an easy fix for Saturday night.”

Pokorski was credited with a 23rd-place finish in the event, which was won by Travis Arenz.

On Saturday, June 19, the action moved to The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski taking over the driver’s duties.

With 29 cars signed in, Alex started fourth in the first 10-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race and suffered front wing damage on the initial aborted start of the race after contact with Jordan Paulsen. With an ill-handling car, Pokorski wound up eighth in the race.

Pokorski started 12^th in the 15-lap B main needing to finish sixth or better to advance to his third A main of the 2021 season. The race was plagued by fifth yellow-red flag periods with Pokorski narrowly avoiding a few of the mishaps.

On a lap 13 restart, Pokorski was running seventh and moved to the high line to sweep around Matt Rechek and Adam Miller to take fifth. Pokorski then negotiated one more single-file restart on lap 14 to secure a fifth-place finish and a berth in the 25-lap A main.

After rolling off 21^st, Pokorski hit his stride in the A main with two distinct racing grooves to work with. By lap 4, Pokorski had moved up to 13^th before working around Preston Ruh on lap 13 to take 12^th.

A four-car incident on lap 20 bunched the field for the third and final restart with Pokorski running 11^th. Pokorski held the spot over the final five circuits to earn his career-best 11^th-place A-main showing after charging up 10 spots during the 25-lap event.

Alex’s father Paul was impressive with his son’s effort on the track in the A main and B main, after a tough start to the night in his heat race.

“We were lucky to give Alex a pretty good car for the B and for the feature Saturday night at Plymouth and he did an amazing job,” Paul Pokorski said. “That’s the best Father’s Day’ gift you could get.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is set to compete in another Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader starting with the final edition of the Russ Scheffler Tribute Race at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Friday, June 25 with Paul Pokorski assuming the driving duties.

Racing is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. with action also slated in the PDTR Late Model, Grand National and B Mod divisions.

The team will cap the weekend with a Midwest Sprint Car Association event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, June 26 with Alex Pokorski occupying the driver’s seat.

Wisconsin Wingless Sprint Cars, A Modifieds and Street Stocks will also be on the card.

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 15, 2021 – After equaling his career-best A-main showing in his last outing behind the wheel of the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsport 360 Sprint Car, second-year driver Alex Pokorski of West Bend found the going a bit tougher in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 12.

With 35 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars signed in, Pokorski drew the seventh starting spot in the third 10-lap heat race. On lap 2, Pokorski worked around the slowing machine of Cole Possi to take over the sixth spot.

After a yellow flag for Possi’s stalled car in turn two on lap 2, Pokorski held his position over the final eight laps to come home sixth.

In the second 12-lap 360 Sprint Car B main, Pokorski lined up on the outside of the front row next to polesitter Austin Hartmann needing a top-three showing to earn his third consecutive A-main berth.

However, Pokorski was involved in a four-car incident as the field got bottled up in turn two on the initial start. The contact forced Pokorski to head to the work area to check over any damage. After returning to the track for a complete restart, Pokorski started sixth.

Pokorski dropped back to seventh on the opening lap before working past Chris Larson in turn three to take sixth. After a caution slowed the field on lap 5, Pokorski moved up to fifth, which is where he finished the race, falling two spots short of an A-main transfer position.

“It seems like we can’t get a good draw to start in the front half of a heat race this season,” Pokorski said. “ Maybe next week will be our week to get a good draw. I ended up losing a left rear shock in the heat race, which made the car pretty tight. Luckily, I was able to get a spot and start on the front row of the B main. In the B main, I made a mistake on the start and washed up in the middle of the corner. Things got three wide and I got tangled up with a few other drivers, but luckily I was able to continue.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is set to compete in a Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader starting with the third annual Hagar Nelson Memorial Race at Outagamie Speedway Powered by EWSC Racing in Seymour, Wis. on Friday, June 18.

29^th year veteran Paul Pokorski will return to the seat of the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports car for the special Hagar Nelson Memorial event, which celebrates the life of one’s of the team’s biggest supporters, who passed away in 2019.

The MSA 360 Sprint Cars will be joined by the IMCA Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Compacts and United Dirt Street Stocks with racing scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.

The team will cap the weekend at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski again slated to be behind the wheel on Saturday, June 19

Second-year Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car driver Alex Pokorski of West Bend turned in a career-best 16th-place finish in the 25-lap A main Saturday, June 5 at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. – Ricky Bassman photo

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions 

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 8, 2021 – One week after qualifying for his first Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main event of the 2021 season, second-year Pokorski Motorsports co-driver Alex Pokorski duplicated his career-best A-main showing with a 16^th-place finish in the 25-lap headliner on Saturday, June 5 at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis.

Pokorski, who was one of 32 PDTR 360 Sprint Car competitors to sign in for the event, which was run in support of the annual appearance of the national touring FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint Car Series, started fifth in the fourth 10-lap PDTR 360 heat race.

On lap 3, Pokorski fell back to seventh before the yellow flag appeared on lap 5. After restarting seventh, Pokorski bolted up to the outside groove to power around Will Gerrits and Lance Fassbender in turn two to regain fifth in the running order.

The bold move helped Pokorski secure the fifth spot at the finish and a berth in the 25-lap A main for the second straight week and fifth time in his young career.

The West Bend driver rolled off sixth in the main event and worked the high and middle groove throughout the event, while engaging in a race-long duel with Lance Fassbender for 15^th place.

On lap 6, Pokorski worked around Fassbender to take the 15^th spot. However, Fassbender battled back to regain the spot on lap 16. Pokorski went on to finish an A-main career-best 16^th in the caution-free race, which was won by Travis Arenz.

“A lot of the racing was on the bottom, so I was trying to make the middle work to pass people,” Pokorski said. “It was a fun night because the heat race went well and I got to do some close racing with the 7 car [Lance Fassbender] in the feature. Currently, I’m working on trying to be more consistent and make in-race adjustments, such as changing my line or wing position quicker to make the car faster.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track .at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski again slated to be behind the wheel this Saturday, June 12.

Alex Pokorski (4) of West Bend holds off Chris Clayton (2c) of Waldo for the third and final A-main transfer spot in the first Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 12-lap 360 Sprint Car B main at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 29. – JW’s Car and Raccing Photos

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 1, 2021 – In his second season behind the wheel of a 360 Sprint Car, Alex Pokorski’s goal has been to consistently qualify for A-main competition.

In his fifth night in the seat of the No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car of the 2021 season, Alex Pokorski found his way into the 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A main on a night when a Midwest Sprint Car Association season-high 37 cars signed in at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 29.

After lining up sixth in the third 10-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski held the sixth spot until lap seven when he ducked under Josh Teunissen to secure fifth, which is where he finished.

Pokorski then lined up on the outside of the front row of the first 12-lap 360 Sprint Car B main alongside Tony Wondra needing a top-three finish to advance to the A main.  Pokorski moved past Wondra to settle into second on the opening lap behind race leader Tim Haddy. After two caution flags for spins slowed the pace on lap 3, Justin Miller slipped past Pokorski on lap 4 to move the West Bend driver to third.

In the waning laps, Waldo’s Chris Clayton mounted a charge along the high groove to pressure Pokorski for third. However, Pokorski nipped Clayton at the finish to secure his first A main berth of the season at Plymouth.

After starting 21^st in the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint A main, Pokorski dropped to 22^nd at the start before moving underneath Austin Hartmann to take 21^st on lap 14. Pokorski then switched to the high groove to pressure Scott Conger for 20^th on lap 15 before slowing to a stop in turn two to bring out a yellow flag when a large piece of mud struck the car and shut off the engine.

After the Pokorski Motorsports pit crew addressed the issue in the work area, Pokorski returned to move past Hartmann, Conger and Justin Erickson in the closing six laps to earn a 19th-place showing in his first PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main of the season, which was won by Ben Schmidt.

“The night was pretty fun because I got to race back and forth and get into the mix with others in each race,” Pokorski said. “The car felt good and the track was pretty racey the whole night. The B main was the closest finish I’ve ever had I think. Luckily, I was able to get the third spot and make the A main.

“Throughout the A main, I was learning to run the cushion, which I haven’t really done before,” he said. “I was a little unlucky when a big chunk of mud broke my dash and shut the car off, but we were able to restart and finish the race. It was a lot of fun racing with Scott Conger after the restart. I think we went back and forth for a good five or six laps.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track .at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski again slated to be behind the wheel as the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars will compete in conjunction with the annual appearance of the FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions and Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event on Saturday, June 5.

Pit gates at Plymouth open at 1 p.m., the grandstand opens at 3 p.m. for advance ticket holders and 4 p.m. for those purchasing tickets on the day of the race and on track action starting at 5:30 p.m.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 25, 2021 – One week after a mechanical issue in heat race action derailed Alex Pokorski’s goal of making The Plymouth Dirt Track Racing A-main field, the second-year driver’s luck continued to be on the sour side during a Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader weekend of action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 22 and the MSA’s return to Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. following a one-year COVID-19-induced absence on Sunday, May 23.

Pokorski, who was among 31 PDTR 360 Sprint Car on hand for the fourth event of the 2021 season at The Plymouth Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 22, lined up sixth in the third 10-lap heat race.

After initially moving up two spots in turn two of the opening lap, Pokorski fell back to seventh in the running order in turn four of the first lap of the race. On lap 6, Pokorski worked his way around Katelyn Krebsbach to take over the sixth spot, which is where he finished.

Pokorski then lined up sixth in the 15-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car B main in search of a top-six finish to claim a berth in the 25-lap A main. Caution flags slowed the pace twice in the early going with Pokorski maintaining the sixth spot.

On the lap 4 restart, Pokorski got bottled up behind two spinning cars in turn one, which prompted him to get hard on the brakes and loop his car to bring out the third caution flag of the race.

After restarting 10^th, Pokorski was able to work his way around Katelyn Krebsbach to record a ninth-place finish in the 15-lap event.

“I felt a bit unlucky in the B main having to spin to avoid the cars getting together in front of me,” Pokorski said. “Hopefully, we can get into an A main soon at Plymouth.”

On Sunday, May 23, Pokorski made his debut appearance at the iconic Angell Park Speedway, which remained closed throughout the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pokorski, who was among 22 MSA drivers on hand for the event, started fifth in the third 10-lap MSA heat race and fell to seventh on the opening lap on the narrow and fast track surface. Pokorski maintained the seventh spot at the finish.

Rain hit the track at the conclusion of heat race action to force the cancellation of the A main.

“Angell Park was fun to race at and was a nice change from Plymouth,” Pokorski said. “It has a unique shape, unlike anything else I’ve raced on.”

After skipping the next MSA series event at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, May 28, the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to action on Saturday, May 29, at The Plymouth Dirt Track .at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski again slated to be behind the wheel.

Pit gates at Plymouth open at 2 p.m., the grandstand opens at 3:30 p.m. with hot laps at 4:30 p.m. and racing starting at 5 p.m.

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 18, 2021 – On an evening when both Paul and Alex Pokorski took to The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. for the third Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car event of the 2021, luck turned out not to be on either’s side as mechanical issues plagued Alex in heat race action and a major incident after the checkered flag in the A main soured a solid night for Paul.

Alex, behind the wheel of the Pokorski Motorsports No. 4 car, and Paul, who made his debut behind the wheel of Spyder Akright’s 53A machine, joined a strong field of 34 PDTR 360 Sprint Car drivers signed for the event.

The strange night started on a good note for Paul in the third 10-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race. After starting sixth, the 29^th year driver worked his way up to fourth on the opening lap on the lightning fast track surface and held off a persistent challenge from Ben Schmidt to secure fourth at the checkered flag and earn a spot in the 22-car A-main field.

Things did not go as well for Alex, who started fifth in the fourth 10-lap 360 Sprint Car heat race before suffering a suspension failure in turn three of the opening lap. The front-end issues forced Alex to retire to the pit area and he was scored eighth in the race.

After lining up eighth in the second 12-lap B Main, Alex dropped back to ninth on the opening lap before settling in to work the high groove of the fast and tacky third-mile clay oval. On lap 3, Alex moved in to challenge Tom Kreutz for eighth. Four laps later, Kreutz spun in turn four to bring out a caution flag.

Alex restarted eighth and quickly worked his way past Katelyn Krebsbach into the seventh spot. The second-year driver held the spot over the final five laps to finish his second night of action in 2021 with a seventh-place B-main finish.

“I’m not entirely sure what happened in the heat race, Alex said. “I came in on the brakes and must have caught a rut the wrong way. Some radius rods bent and I wasn’t able to continue. The B main went fairly well, but it was hard to make up ground on a fast track like we had. We will regroup and go again next week. Hopefully, we can get some good luck.”

Paul Pokorski made his first start in Spyder Akright’s 53A 360 Sprint Car at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 15. – JW’s Car and Raccing Photos

Paul rolled off from the 12^th starting position in the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car A main and ran inside the top 15 throughout the non-stop race. With a light rain falling on the track, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion finished the race, which was completed in a PDTR 25-lap 360 Sprint Car A main record pace of five minutes and 31 seconds, with a 15^th-place showing in a race won by Justin Miller.

Seconds after taking the checkered flag, Paul was forced to take drastic measures to avoid a rapidly slowing car, which resulted in him making heavy impact with the turn one wall and flipping the 53A car. Paul was able to emerge from the badly damaged car under his own power.

“The night went pretty good for me and I was happy with everything except the very end result, obviously,” Paul said. “It wasn’t perfect and I learned a few things I think could have helped it going forward, but it’s irrelevant now as the car was totaled.”

The Pokorski Motorsports will look for some good luck when it returns to action for a Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader this weekend.

On Saturday, May 22, the team will head to The Plymouth Dirt Track .at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski again slated to be behind the wheel.

Pit gates at Plymouth open at 2 p.m., the grandstand opens at 3:30 p.m. with hot laps at 4:30 p.m. and racing starting at 5 p.m.

Alex will also steer the No. 4 machine on Sunday, May 23 in an MSA event as part of the grand reopening of Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., which remained closed throughout the 2020 season due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The Badger Midgets and Legends will be on the card with grandstand gates opening at 4 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Sponsors and supporters for the 2021 Pokorski Motorsports team are Petersen Septic Systems, Quest Engineering Inc., Goeden Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Hopf Farms, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation, RC Custom Design and Pedal Down Promotions.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 4, 2021 – One week after competing in weather more appropriate for snowmobiles that Sprint Cars, the Wisconsin weather turned on a dime as Paul Pokorski and the Pokorski Motorsports team headed to Plymouth Wis. to compete in the 2021 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing season opener with temperatures hovering in the mid-80s Saturday, May 1 at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds.

On a warm and windy evening, Pokorski was among a stout field of 31 PDTR 360 Sprint Car competitors signing in for the initial program of the 2021 PDTR campaign and third event of the young Midwest Sprint Car Association season.

The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion drew the second starting spot in the second PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race and wasted little time in powering around polesitter Blake Wondra with an outside move in turn one on lap three to take the lead.

However, six laps later, Travis Arenz ducked under Pokorski to assume the lead. Arenz went on to post the victory in the 10-lap race, while Pokorski earned a runner-up finish to qualify solidly for the evening’s main event.

“The car was pretty good,” Pokorski said. “I made some set up changes to our starting point and the car got a little too tight to start. We were pretty good for the heat race, but we cut the sidewall off the right rear with about three to go and the car got tight over the last few laps as it lost air pressure.”

After the invert based on heat race passing points totals, Pokorski started the 25-lap A main from the third spot.

Pokorski held the third position in the early going until Arenz pulled off a slide job to take the third spot on lap 7. Following a caution flag on lap 8 for a spin involving Blake Wondra, Brandon McMullen worked past Pokorski on lap 10 as the 29-year open-wheel racing veteran settled into the fifth spot along the cushion of the dry slick racing surface.

Pokorski’s hopes for top-five run were dashed on lap 15 when he slowed and pulled into the infield of the third-mile clay oval when the motor began to misfire.

The three-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion was credited with a 22^nd place finish in a race won by Ben Schmidt.

“The car was really pretty good in the feature,” Pokorski said. “Early on, I was over driving the entry to turn one. Once I fixed that, I felt we were a solid top-five car. Then the engine started missing, just like it did at Beaver Dam Raceway a couple of weeks ago. The first time we thought it was a fuel issue, but now we suspect it was the magneto both times. After the race, we changed the magneto and we hope we’ve solved the problem.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is set to compete in the first Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader of the 2021 season with Paul Pokorski behind the wheel of the familiar blue No. 4 machine on Friday, May 7 at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., along with the Wisconsin Wingless Sprint Car Series and Legends.

Pits will be open all day at Beaver Dam Raceway before being cleared at 3:15 p.m. when pit passes will be sold. Spectator gates will open at 4:30 p.m. with racing starting at 6:30 p.m.

On Saturday, May 8, the team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track .at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. with Alex Pokorski making his 2021 season debut in the seat of the Pokorski Motorsports No. 4 machine and Paul Pokorski tentatively slated to make his first start in Spyder Akright’s No. 53A car.

Pit gates at Plymouth open at 2 p.m., the grandstand opens at 3:30 p.m. with hot laps at 4:30 p.m. and racing starting at 5 p.m.

“I’m looking forward to Friday night when I’ll be in the car at Beaver Dam Raceway,” Paul Pokorski said. “On Saturday at Plymouth, Alex will be done with college finals and he will take his first shot at racing the car this year. I may be in Spyder Akright’s car on Saturday night at Plymouth, but that depends on how the weekend flows.”

Sponsors and supporters for the 2021 Pokorski Motorsports team are Petersen Septic Systems, Quest Engineering Inc., Goeden Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Hopf Farms, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation, RC Custom Design and Pedal Down Promotions.

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 20, 2021 – After showing plenty of speed in the early stages of the first night of the 29^th season of competition for the Pokorski Motorsports team, a mechanical malady spelled an early ending to the main event for veteran driver Paul Pokorski during the 2021 Midwest Sprint Car Association season-opening Jim Wipperfurth Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 17.

Pokorski was among 34 drivers to sign in for the 2021 MSA season opener at the Beaver Dam Raceway facility, which served as the birthplace of the Winged 360 Sprint Car division in Southeastern Wisconsin in 1996.

The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion opened the night behind the wheel of the team’s newly acquired 2020 Maxim by drawing the third starting spot in the first 10-lap heat race. Pokorski used a strong start to bolt underneath outside front row starter Bill Taylor to secure the second spot in the first turn of the opening lap.

Pokorski quickly settled into the runner-up spot behind race leader Tyler Davis, while Davis’ father, Kurt, moved into to briefly pressure Pokorski for second on lap 2. Pokorski maintained the second spot until the yellow flag appeared on lap 7 for the spinning car of Scott Conger in turn two.

On the restart, Pokorski pulled away from Kurt Davis and reeled in Tyler Davis in the closing laps before settling for second to secure a spot in the 25-lap A main.

“The car was pretty amazing for having never turned a lap in it until hot laps,” Pokorski said. “I was very happy with it in the heat race.”

Pokorski lined up ninth in the 22-car A-main field and fell back to 13^th in the running order along the inside groove in the early going. On lap 4, Pokorski moved up to the high groove and quickly worked his way into the top 10.

On lap 12, Adam Miller pulled off a slide job to take 10^th away from Pokorski in turn two. Second later, Pokorski fell off the pace and pulled into the infield with an apparent mechanical issue. Pokorski was credited with a 20^th place finish in the final running order in a race won by Ben Schmidt.

“In the A main, the engine began to stumble,” Pokorski said. “I’m reasonably sure it was just the main fuel shut off valve vibrating shut. It’s a  minor gremlin and an easy fix, so we should be good to go this Saturday at Gravity Park.”

Paul Pokorski is set to return to action behind the wheel of the familiar No. 4 Pokorski Motorsports 360 Sprint Car for an MSA event at Gravity Park Speedway in Chilton on Saturday, April 24. Sport Mods, 4-Cylinders and Street Stocks are also on the card.

Pit gates open at 3 p.m., the grandstand opens at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing starting at 6 p.m.

Sponsors and supporters for the 2021 Pokorski Motorsports team are Petersen Septic Systems, Goeden Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Hopf Farms, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation, RC Custom Design and Pedal Down Promotions.
