(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 17, 2025 – For the third straight week, Alex Pokorski seized a place on the podium in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car competition, only this time it was one step higher as he steered his No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team machine to a second-place finish on Saturday, June 14 at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

The fifth-year Sprint Car driver opened the evening by registering the 10th fastest qualifying lap in the 26-car field in 13.484 seconds.

He then advanced one spot in the first PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race by placing third from the fourth starting position to earn a berth in the evening’s 22-car main event.

After lining up 10th for the 25-lap A main, Pokorski got a huge run on the drop of the green flag to advance up to fifth on lap 3. Without a caution flag, the West Bend native made up ground in a hurry along the hooked-up high groove, moving past Lance Fassbender to take third on lap 15.

Four laps later, Pokorski swung around Tyler Davis to assume second in the running order behind Scotty Neitzel’s lead car. After the lone caution flag of the race appeared on lap 19, the 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner lined up directly behind Neitzel with a clear shot at a possible win.

However, Neitzel proved too strong along the thick cushion as he pulled away from Pokorski over the final six laps on the way to victory. Pokorski came home with a 2025 season-best runner-up showing following a pair of recent third-place finishes in PDTR 360 Sprint Car action.

“The track had some character,” Pokorski said. “It had a big cushion, and it got slick in the middle. It made for good racing. I enjoy that type of surface. I’m happy to have gone 10th to second. I just wish we would have gotten up one more spot at the end!”

Pokorski will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition, which kicks off at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. on Friday, June 20.

Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing starting at 6:30 p.m.

The following night the team will compete in the IRA’s annual Road America Challenge event at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action at 5:30 p.m.
