(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 1, 2024 – The 2024 season was one filled with some major highs and several disappointing lows in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car action with the curtain closing event falling into the latter category for Randy Post and the Randy Post Racing Team during the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships held Saturday, Sept. 28 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

With 25 PDTR-MSA Sprint Cars signed in for the final program of the 2024 campaign, Post qualified 19^th overall with a lap of 13.246 seconds.

The third-year Sprint Car racer started fifth and came home sixth in the third eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race before rolling off 20^th in the 24-car A-main field.

However, the main event was short-lived for Post as an incident in turn two on lap 4 ended his night and season with substantial damage to his No. 54 machine.

The Oostburg, Wis. driver was the first competitor to retire from the race and scored with a 24^th place finish.

“We made a lot of changes to our car for this weekend,” Post said. “Kristian Wagner and Travis Arenz have been on my case for quite some time about trying some different things to learn what works for me. In qualifying, I couldn’t see at all in turns 3 and 4 due to the sun. There were cars in front of me, so I didn’t get a true feel of how it handled because I was pretty much coasting to make sure I didn’t hit anyone.

“In the heat race, we made even more changes,” he said. “Once we got a few laps into the heat race, I felt really comfortable and felt like I was gaining ground on the people in front of me. Our night ended early in the A-main when a car spun in front of us, hit the gas instead of the brake and drove into us. We broke a lot of things in that small hit.”

Post ended the 2024 season with a 22^nd place finish in the final PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings after competing in nine of the 13 events held at The Plymouth Dirt Track during the 2024 season.

Overall, Post recorded one top 10 and two top 15 A-main showings, along with one heat race victory in 11 MSA events in 2024.

“This was the most challenging but rewarding year we’ve had,” Post said. “I can’t thank my crew guys and partners enough for sticking with us in the 2024 season as we have mostly returning partners. At this point, we are looking forward to doing it again in 2025.”

Sponsorship partners and supporters of Randy Post and the 2024 Randy Post Racing Team include Luedtke Electric, Sunset Auto, Akright Auto, Oostburg Automotive and Progress Manufacturing Inc.

The Randy Post Racing pit crew members are Kirby and Nicole Post, Tiffany and Thomas Chamberlain, Brendan Ostrowski, Erin Schneider, Colton Chamberlain, Heidi Haver and the Kaat Racing family.
