(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) January 30, 2025 – After six overall and four full-time seasons of competition in the Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) 360 Sprint Car ranks, Alex Pokorski is poised to contest a majority of the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association (IRA) 410 Sprint Car Series schedule during the upcoming 2025 season.

At the controls of the No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team entry, Pokorski is slated to fire off his first dedicated season of 410 Sprint Car action with the 2025 IRA Series season opener at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5.

“We’re planning to do mainly 410 racing this year with a goal of doing most of the IRA schedule,” Pokorski said. “At this point, we aren’t planning on the longer trips, but our goal is to hit 80 percent of the IRA races. I want to thank Spyder [Akright] for the opportunity to go 410 racing and run with the IRA this season,” he said. “Everyone on the crew has done a great job getting our equipment ready to do this. Our sponsors have been very supportive too. We couldn’t attempt a season running a 410 Sprint Car with the IRA without their help.”

Aside from the intended slate of IRA events, the West Bend native is tentatively slated to sprinkle in a few MSA 360 Sprint Car races at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

“When we aren’t running with the IRA, we would like to do a few MSA races at Plymouth with the 360,” Pokorski said. “Since we don’t intend to run a full season for points this year, our schedule could change a bit as the season progresses. Depending on how our season goes, there are some options for us to race at different events from week to week.”

In 16 MSA and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car events during the 2024 season, Pokorski notched six top-five, 12 top-10 and 13 top-15 A-main showings to second in the final PDTR and third in the MSA 360 Sprint Car point standings.

In four 410 Sprint Car starts in 2024, Pokorski compiled one top 10 A-main finish, one heat race victory and one dash appearance.
