(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 18, 2019 – The luck of the heat race passing points invert roll played right into the hands of Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team on the way to a rock solid top-five A-main showing in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis.

With yet another impressive field of 36 PDTR 360 Sprint Car drivers and teams assembled to do battle, an unlucky pill draw relegated Pokorski to the seventh starting position in the first 10-lap heat race of the evening.

The 27-year racing veteran wasted little time getting to work as he moved past Mike Decker to gain sixth place in turn one of the before passing Chris Flick for fifth in turn four on lap 1. Pokorski then worked his way around Brandon Berth into fourth place on lap 5 and held the fourth-place position the rest of the way to earn enough passing points to advance to the evening’s 25-lap A main.

“The heat race was very good,” Pokorski said. “We made the best of a bad draw. Then we had a little luck with the heat race passing points invert to start on the pole of the A main.”

The initial start of the PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main was wiped clean on the opening lap following a four-car incident exiting turn four involving Brandon McMullen, Adam Miller, Bill Taylor and Josh Teunissen.

After rolling off from the pole position on the complete restart, Pokorski felt immediate pressure from outside front row starter Will Gerrits, who outpowered the West Bend driver to seize the lead in turn one of the opening circuit.

Pokorski then fell to third when Danny Schlafer worked his way past in turn three on the first lap. On lap 9, Travis Arenz worked his way around Pokorski to drop the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion to fourth in the running order.

Pokorski maintained the fourth position the rest of the way on the fast and smooth racing surface to record the team’s fifth top-10 and second top-five A-main finish of the 2019 Midwest Sprint Car Association campaign, while Gerrits went on to collect his first career MSA A-main victory.

“I was a little disappointed with the A-main,” Pokorski said. “I never like backing up, but it’s hard to complain about a fourth-place finish. We also learned a few things and will try to improve the car for next week with those changes.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is set to take part in another MSA doubleheader racing weekend kicking off on Friday, June 21 at SK Speedway (formerly Spring Lake Speedway) in Unity, Wis. Hot laps are slated to begin at 5:45 p.m. with racing scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, June 22, the Pokorski Motorsports team returns to The Plymouth Dirt Track for a four-division program, including the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars, Late Models, Grand Nationals and B Mods. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

“I always look forward to two-race weekends,” Pokorski said. “Going to SK Speedway in Unity is fun. It is always nice to get to race in front of fans who don’t always get to see Sprint Car racing. I hope we [MSA] put on in a good show for them.”

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 11, 2019 – Finding success when competing against a talented field of 35 to 40 Sprint Car drivers and teams on a weekly basis requires a little bit of good old-fashioned luck.

Just ask Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team who have found the luck of the heat race draw system not to be on their side through the first six events of the 2019 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car campaign.

With 35 PDTR Sprint Car signed in at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 8, a very unlucky pill draw found Pokorski lined up ninth in the second heat race. Pokorski worked his way past Bill Taylor on lap 1 and Shane Wenninger on lap 3 to move into seventh place. On lap 7, Pokorski powered past Josh Teunissen to finished sixth in the 10-lap heat race.

After failing to accumulate enough passing points to transfer directly to the A main, Pokorski lined up second next to polesitter Justin Miller in the second PDTR 360 Sprint Car B main. Pokorski bolted past Miller into the lead on the drop of the green flag and held the top spot throughout the 12-lap race to post his first B-main victory of the 2019 season and earn a spot in the A main lineup.

After lining up 18^th in the 22-car A main, Pokorski advanced to 15^th on lap 9 before a caution flag on lap 11 slowed the pace. After the restart, Pokorski hit his stride along the outside groove of the fast and tricky track surface to move past Lance Fassbender, Brandon Berth and Tony Wondra into 11^th place on lap 15.

Pokorski moved up to challenge Tyler Brabant for 10^th on lap 19, but he fell back over the final five laps to secure an 11^th-place finish in a race won by Kurt Davis.

The 27-year racing veteran was pleased that he was able to improve a total of 11 positions in the three races he competed in, while at the same time acknowledging the importance of the heat race pill draw.

“With 35-40 cars competing with our series on a regular basis, everything makes an impact on your night, including the heat race draw,” Pokorski said. “Considering we haven’t started a heat race better than fifth all year, I’d say we are doing well. We’ll keep trying to make the best of the bad draws and hope the luck switches at some point and try to capitalize when it does.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team will return to action this Saturday, June 15 at The Plymouth Dirt Track for a four-division program, including the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars, Late Models, Grand Nationals and B Mods. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 4, 2019 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team turned the first doubleheader weekend of Midwest Sprint Car Association racing action of the 2019 season into a pair of solid top-10 A-main finishes at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 1 and Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, June 2.

On Saturday, June 1, the Pokorski Motorsports team was among 35 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car entries registered to do battle on the well-manicured third-mile clay oval.

The evening began with Pokorski starting fifth in the third PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race. On the drop of the green flag, Pokorski passed Brandon Berth to move into fourth on the opening lap. On lap 4, Pokorski slipped past Tony Wondra to move into third. Two laps later, Pokorski was closing in on the second-place car of Spyder Akright when the first caution of the event appeared on lap 7 for Akright’s stalled car in turn two.

After restarting second, used a low move to wrestle the top spot away from Josh Teunissen in turn two on lap 8 en route to his first heat race victory of the 2019 season.

Pokorski rolled out for the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main from the eighth starting spot. After maintaining his eighth position throughout the first 14 laps of the event, Pokorski moved into seventh on lap 15 when Lance Fassbender dropped out of the event.

Following a caution period on lap 18 for Travis Arenz’ stalled car, Pokorski had his hands full over the final seven laps as he slipped back two spots to end up ninth at the finish line in a race won by Kevin Karnitz.

“Saturday night went pretty well,” Pokorski said. “The heat race was great. The car worked awesome. Unfortunately, we were not able to get it to repeat for the A main. We made very few changes, but the car wasn’t the same. We still ended up okay though.”

Pokorski ventured to the first of three scheduled 2019 MSA events at the Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie on Sunday, June 2 with 31 cars signed in for the evening.

A poor pill draw put Pokorski in the eighth starting spot in the second MSA heat race. After passing Tyler Davis to move into seventh on lap 1 Pokorski worked the low groove to pressure Bill Taylor for sixth starting on lap 6. On the following circuit, Pokorski pulled off a slide job entering turn one to briefly take sixth. However, Taylor and Pokorski made contact in turn two, which resulted in Taylor flipping to bring out the red flag.

After heading to the work area, Pokorski restarted the race in seventh before passing Tyler Davis again on lap 8 to secure sixth in the event and a spot in the evening’s B main.

Pokorski started second next to polesitter Danny Schlafer in the 15-lap B Main. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion maintained the runner-up spot throughout the event to nail down the 18^th starting spot in the A main.

A bold move in the first turn of the 25-lap main event vaulted Pokorski to 13^th at the completion of lap 1 in the caution-plagued race. After running just outside the top 10 for most of the event, Pokorski passed Will Gerrits, Chris Clayton and Tim Haddy to move into eighth.

The fourth and final caution flag on lap 19 for Josh Walter’s spin in turn two resulted in one more restart, which saw Pokorski lose ground to Ben Schmidt in Randy Sippel’s 39s car and Tim Haddy in the closing laps on the way to a 10^th-place finish in a race won by Travis Arenz.

“Sunday night at Angell Park was a struggle,” Pokorski said. “I love the history of Angel Park Speedway, but hate the results we’ve had there over the years. It’s a pretty tight little place and stuff happens quickly. That resulted in issues in the heat race and the A main. Despite all of that, we finished pretty well for starting 18th.”

According to Pokorski Motorsports Crew Chief Dave Schultz, the top-10 finish in the A main would likely not have been possible without the assistance of a fellow racing team.

“We are thankful for the generosity of Lloyd Dykstra and the No. 21 and No. 99 NAPA MSA teams for fixing a shock mount on our car between the B Main and the A main,” Schultz said. “Their efforts are greatly appreciated.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team will return to action this Saturday, June 8, at The Plymouth Dirt Track in an all open wheel show featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, PDTR 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.

Sponsors for the 2019 Pokorski Motorsports team are Hopf Farms, Petersen Septic Systems, Gasroots Project, Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Lakeshore Family Funeral Homes, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 28, 2019 – For the first time in nearly two years, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team found themselves watching a Midwest Sprint Car Association A-main rather than in the thick of the action on Saturday, May 25 at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis.

After breezing through a very clean 2018 campaign, during which he completed every lap of every race and qualified for all 23 MSA A-mains, Pokorski failed to qualify for an A-main for the first time since magneto issues forced the Pokorski Motorsports team to scratch from a Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car program at The Plymouth Dirt Track on June 17, 2017.

With 38 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars signed in for Pokorski Motorsports sponsor Pedal Down Promotions Night at The Plymouth Dirt Track, the forgettable night began with a unfavorable heat race draw, which saw Pokorski start fifth in the third Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car heat race.

A fast and tacky, but highly treacherous racing surface provided little opportunity for Pokorski to work his way up into an A-main transfer spot as he held on to place sixth in a heat race loaded with a host of top competitors.

Pokorski then lined up seventh in the second PDTR 360 Sprint Car B main needing to finish third to earn a spot in the 25-lap A main. On the opening lap, Pokorski dove low and advanced up several spots before contact with Will Gerrits sent the 27-year veteran spinning to a stop in turn two. The contact produced front-suspension damage, which brought Pokorski’s night to an early conclusion.

“Saturday was a tough night,” Pokorski said. “Competing against 35 to 40 cars a night, means everything has to go your way and the heavy track conditions made it hard to pass. In the B-Main, I just had an error in judgement, I guess. I thought that the 21 car [Will Gerrits] was going to push up off the bottom and open a door to squeeze under him. I realized too late that the opening I saw was closing and couldn’t stop quickly enough. I was disappointed in myself as it took away any chance Will Gerrits or I had to make the main. Thankfully, the damage wasn’t major. It was shocks and radius rods mostly.”

On Sunday, May 26, Pokorski made a late decision to compete in the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at the 141 Speedway in Francis Creek.

Pokorski began the evening by qualifying his 360 Sprint Car 24th in the 25-car IRA field with a lap of 12.581 seconds on the quarter-mile clay oval. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion started and finished eighth in the second IRA 10-lap heat race to earn the 23^rd starting spot in the 30-lap A main.

Pokorski worked the inside groove of the smooth, wide and slick track surface throughout the event to gradually advance his way through the field. After dropping back to 24^th on the opening lap, Pokorski slipped past Brian Strane and Hunter Custer to secure 22^nd on lap four.

On lap 5, Pokorski worked past Matt Wiese to move into 21^st. Following a pair of caution flags, which resulted in Scott Biertzer and Joey Moughan retiring from the race, Pokorski restarted in 19^th on lap 15. Pokorski moved up to 18^th when Adam Miller left the race on lap 18 and restarted 17^th following a caution flag on lap 20.

On lap 22, Pokorski powered past Nick Matuszewski to move into 16^th place, which is where he finished in a race won by Bill Balog.

“Sunday night was fun,” Pokorski said. “The car felt really good and we did learn a couple of small things that we may use going forward. It was just a fun night and a great show to be a part of.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is set to compete in an MSA doubleheader this weekend starting on Saturday, June 1 at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. Hot laps will begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing slated to get under way at 6 p.m.

On Sunday, June 2, the team will make its first of three scheduled 2019 MSA appearances at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing to follow.

“I’m looking forward to a better Saturday night at Plymouth this week,” Pokorski said. “I’m also excited to go back to Angel Park. The schedule is about to get hectic.”

 (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 14, 2019 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team made the most of the hand they were dealt during Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car racing action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 11.

On an unseasonably cold evening, ultra dry-slick track conditions proved to limit the overall level of competition among the entire 40-car field. However, Pokorski still managed to place second in his heat race and register a sixth-place showing in the 25-lap A-main to secure the team’s second straight top-10 A-main finish at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

After lining up fourth in the first PDTR 360 sprint car heat race, Pokorski used the high groove to power around Bill Taylor and secure third place on lap one. On lap 2, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion worked his way around Chris Flick to take over second.

Pokorski cut Nich Melis’ full straightaway lead to five car lengths by lap 8. However, he ran out of the laps and posted a second-place showing to gain a berth in the A main.

The West Bend driver rolled off from the sixth starting spot in the A main and maintained his position in the early going while dueling with Nich Melis for sixth place. After a lap 13 restart, Pokorski ducked under Melis to move into fifth on lap 14. One lap later, Tim Haddy ventured to the high grove of the rubber-down racing surface to seize fifth and shuffle Pokorski back to sixth in the running order.

Pokorski held is spot over the final 10 laps as the majority of the field ran in single file formation along the rubber-down inside lane on the way to a sixth-place finish behind race winner Josh Walter.

“I was happy with the car all night again,” Pokorski said. “I knew the track would take rubber at some point in the first 10 laps and there is only so much you can do when the track rubbers down.”

After placing third and sixth in the first two A-mains of the 2019 season, Pokorski currently stands at the top of the PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings with 162 points, six points ahead of Tim Haddy and 10 points in front of 2017 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Brandon McMullen.

This Saturday May 18 the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. Along with the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars, PDTR will welcome the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions national touring 410 Sprint Car series for a combined points event with the regional touring Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series.

Retired NASCAR legend and All Star series owner Tony Stewart will compete, along with three-time World of Outlaws Series champion Sammy Swindell and host of other top national and regional drivers.

Pokorski is looking forward to a memorable night of racing.

“I’m hoping for warm weather and a little more moisture in the track, so it doesn’t rubber down,” Pokorski said. “If that happens, it will be a great night on Saturday. I am hoping the crowd is good. It always adds to the excitement when the grandstand is packed. I’m thinking there should be 80 sprint cars in the pits.”

Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. for advance general admission ticket holders and 4 p.m. for those purchasing tickets on race day. On-track action is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.

Sponsors for the 2019 Pokorski Motorsports team are Hopf Farms, Petersen Septic Systems, Gasroots Project, Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Lakeshore Family Funeral Homes, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 6, 2019 – After turning in one of their most consistently strong seasons in 26 years of racing a year ago, Paul Pokorski and the Pokorski Motorsports team did not skip a beat in the 2019 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car season opener at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 4.

Pokorski jump started his 27^th season of racing action in impressive fashion leading the first 16 laps in the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main before registering a strong third-place showing.

“The car was really good all night,” Pokorski said. “I was very happy and it seems like we picked up right where we left off last year. That doesn’t always happen.”

With a gigantic field of 39 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars checked in for the season opener, Pokorski drew the fifth starting spot in the fifth heat race. After a caution on lap 2, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion pulled off a daring slide job in turn three to work his way past Josh Walter and Brandon McMullen into third place on lap 3 of the 10-lap heat race.

After two more caution periods, Pokorski powered around Travis Arenz to secure second place on lap 4 and he held on over the final six circuits to place second behind race winner Jim Melis.

Starting on the outside of the front row, Pokorski utilized the high groove of the wide, smooth and slick track surface to bolt past polesitter Mike Yurmanovich into the lead at the start of the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main. The West Bend resident set a quick pace at the front of field in the opening laps until the first of two caution flags appeared on lap 2 for the stalled car of Nich Melis in turn four.

On the restart, Danny Schlafer, who was running second, spun in turn two to collect Kurt Davis, Al Schlafer, Bill Wenninger and Adam Miller. Extensive damage forced all five drivers to retire from the event.

Pokorski was again strong on the restart as he used the cushion to bolt away from the second-place car of Robbie Pribnow to build up a full-straightaway lead on lap 7. By lap 14, the inside groove of the track began to take rubber, which allowed the second-place car of Kevin Karnitz to make up ground on the high-riding Pokorski.

On lap 16, Karnitz dove low in turn four to seize the lead away from Pokorski along the inside lane. Travis Arenz followed Karnitz into second place on the next lap to relegate Pokorski to third in the running order. Pokorski held on the rest of the way to secure a third-place showing in the season-opening event behind runner-up Travis Arenz and race winner Kevin Karnitz.

“In the A main, the car was excellent and I thought that the top would be the place to be until the rubber came in,” Pokorski said. “I was expecting that, but when you’re out front it’s hard to figure out when it’s the right time to change lanes. Sometimes being in second and chasing is a better place to be.

“About three laps before Kevin Karnitz passed me for the lead, I knew I was beginning to struggle a little bit in turns 3 and 4,” he said. “I should have taken that as a clue and moved down.”

Pokorski was encouraged by the large turnout of 360 Sprint Cars for the 2019 PDTR and Midwest Sprint Car Association season opener.

“The car count was pretty unbelievable and there are a few guys that weren’t there on opening night,” Pokorski said. “Some of the guys that were there on opening night, aren’t going to run every single night, but nonetheless I believe the car counts are going to be excellent at all of the MSA shows and the MSA rookie of the year battle should be fun to watch all year too.”

This Saturday May 11 the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. The event will again feature an early start time with spectator gates opening at 3:30 p.m. and racing scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

PDTR will honor police, fire and EMS personnel with free admission for all fans with proper credentials.

Sponsors for the 2019 Pokorski Motorsports team are Hopf Farms, Petersen Septic Systems, Gasroots Project, Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Lakeshore Family Funeral Homes, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 7, 2018 – In a sport as unpredictable and endlessly challenging as dirt track racing, consistency is something that all racers aspire to, but few achieve.

For Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team the 2018 season was loaded with a remarkable level of unwavering consistency, which was sustained over a five-month span from the drop of the green flag at the Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on April 29 to the final checkered flag at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 29.

In fact, 26-year driver recorded the team’s most consistent season in 14 years by completing every lap of every A main he competed in during the 2018 campaign, while steering clear of any major incidents or mechanical malfunctions.

The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion racked up five top-five A-main finishes, 16 top-10 A-main showings and five heat race triumphs in 24 events during the 2018 campaign.

Drawing on the strength of its highly consistent finishes, the Pokorski Motorports team placed fifth in the final Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car standings and fourth in the Midwest Sprint Car Association standings, just three points out of third place, during the 2018 season.

“I’d say it was good a good season,” Pokorski said. “I am proud of the fact that we were competitive most nights, some better than others of course, but we were competitive. We also finished every race on the lead lap with no breakdowns and no wrecker rides. That is a huge success in any form or division of racing.”

After unseasonably cold spring weather condition forced the cancellation of the team’s planned 2018 season opener at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis., the team made a late decision to enter an Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at the Beaver Dam Raceway on April 29.

Despite competing with an underpowered 360 powerplant, Pokorski qualified for the IRA A main and came home with a respectable 15^th-place finish in the A main.

On May 5, Pokorski opened the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car season with a 10^th-place showing in the A main. Following a rain out on May 12 and an abbreviated night of racing on May 19, which ended before the A main due to rain, Pokorski reeled off three straight top-10 finishes in the next three events before dipping to a 13^th-place finish at The Plymouth Dirt Track on June 9.

Pokorski bounced back to record a sixth-place showing in A-main action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on June 15. A doubleheader weekend produced a ninth-place showing at Spring Lake Speedway in Unity on June 22 and a 12^th-place showing at The Plymouth Dirt Track on June 23.

After a weather cancellation at Plymouth on June 30, Pokorski registered one of his best performances of the season in an MSA event at the high-speed half-mile Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam on July 6.

Pokorski started seventh and worked the high groove into record a strong second-place showing in the A-main event, which proved to be a standout night for the three-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion.

“Running second at Dodge County is the one thing that comes to mind when thinking of a highlight of the season,” Pokorski said. “I used to dread going there, but I’ve come to like it and look forward to it, which shows in the results.”

Pokorski came back the following night to post a sixth-place showing in the Mid-Season Championship A-main event at The Plymouth Dirt Track on July 7 before backing that up with a 10^th-place showing at Plymouth on July 14.

Pokorski registered a strong fourth-place finish in A-main action at Plymouth on July 28 and added a sixth-place showing at Plymouth on Aug. 4, during an evening that also produced one of Pokorski’s biggest disappointments of the 2018 season.

“The most difficult moment this season for me was probably an unintended run in with Adam Miller that caused him to wreck during a heat race at Plymouth on August 4th,” Pokorski said. “It bothers me when I make mistakes, especially when it hurts someone else physically or financially.  He and I were both having fun up until that moment, but stuff like that takes the fun out of racing for both people involved, but it is part of it and we’ve been on both sides, so you just have to move on.”

Pokorski added two more top-10 showings the following weekend as he finished third at Plymouth on Aug. 11 and tallied a sixth-place showing at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie on Aug. 12.

On Aug. 18, Pokorski equaled his second-best finish by placing second at Plymouth. The following day, Pokorski suffered some rare misfortune as a flat tire forced him to pit late in an A-main at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes. However, he bounced back to salvage an 11-place showing.

After recording a ninth-place finish at Plymouth on Aug. 25, Pokorski posted an eighth-place finish at Outagamie Speedway Powered By EWSC in Seymour on Aug. 31 and added sixth-place finish at Plymouth on Sept. 1.

Pokorski notched an 11^th-place finish at Plymouth on Sept. 8 before capping the 2018 campaign with another 11^th-place showing at Plymouth on Sept. 29.

“Consistency in our team members, set-ups on the car and our weekly routines in the shop and at the track definitely made a difference this year,” Pokorski said. “This team has been together for a very long time by racing standards. Everyone knows their role and what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. Also, coupling with great vendor partners like Goodwin Competition, Competition Driveline, Behling’s Racing Equipment and R&H racing to name a few has been great for us. Those people do a great job on the parts we get from them or ask them to service. It all adds up to a year like this one. I would actually say the last few years have not been terrible, but this year was definitely smoother sailing than any I can remember.”

Encouraged by how his 2016 Maxim performed over the second half of the 2018 season, Pokorski is looking forward to fine tuning a few things to come out even stronger in 2019.

“I always feel like it takes us until about mid-season to learn something significant and improve over where we started the year,” Pokorski said. ‘I’d say we learned a few things again. Just goes to show you need to keep on learning every day, in regard to racing or anything else in life. I was really happy with the last month or so.  The last night we went a little too far with some of the things we were trying, which is good. Now we know how far is too far. We can start with what worked and start working on the next thing…whatever it is.”

Looking ahead to next year, it appears that it will be business as usual for the Pokorski Motorsports team.

“I don’t plan on changing anything for next year,” Pokorski said. “We just plan on getting everything fresh and try to get ahead and stay ahead on all the projects and commitments that go along with racing.  We already have a good jump on 2019.”

Pokorski is thankful for the support he received once again this year from his dedicated pit crew.

“I have to thank my wife, Lynn, for tolerating 26 years of racing,” Pokorski said. “Also, my brother-in-law and crew chief Dave Schultz for sticking with me. Randy Leamer for always making last-minute adjustments when I change my mind. Randy was battling an ankle that had to be replaced just before the end of season and we missed his help at the end of the year. I’m also proud of Aaron Pederson and Ian Schultz for continuing to learn and help with whatever they can.”

A collection of longtime supporters and one major new addition filled out an impressive list of Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season.

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Service & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tilser Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

“I can’t thank all of our advertising partners enough for their help,” Pokorski said. “Hopefully others will too. We were thrilled to have Quest Engineering come on board with us this year. We appreciate their support. Goeden’s Auto Body keeps the race car the right shade of blue and always takes care of what we send their way. Mark and Joel Jens have been long time partners. Al Knepprath at Kettle Moraine Landscaping is always supportive on and off the track. Novak’s Service in Manitowoc and Tisler Salvage are both longtime partners. I need to also acknowledge The Cawley Company, which is our longest active sponsor at 22 consecutive years. Their support over such a long time period is greatly appreciated. Finally, I was happy to have Acme Armature back to help for another year.”

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 3, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team completed a season highlighted by remarkable consistency by tallying an 11^th-place showing in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car season finale at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 29.

With 27 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars signed in for the four-division Wisconsin Sprint Car Championship program, which also included the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, Wisconsin Wingless Sprint cars and Wisconsin-Illinois Mini Sprints, Pokorski started fourth in the second heat race.

The 26-year open-wheel racing veteran used a strong start to settle into third on the opening lap. Following a caution on lap 3, Pokorski used a strong restart to pull even with the second-place car of Danny Schlafer. After dueled side by side for a lap, Schlafer fended off Pokorski’s advances to retain the runner-up spot.

Pokorski maintained the third position the rest of the way to earn a spot in the 25-lap A-main event.

After the A-main invert, Pokorski rolled off ninth in the final PDTR-MSA A main of the 2018 season.

In the opening laps, Pokorski found himself running 11^th. After a caution on lap 9, Pokorski gained two spots when 2018 Midwest Sprint Car Association champ Kurt Davis exited the race after contact with the turn three wall and Tim Haddy pitted to fix damage incurred following contact with the turn four wall.

On lap 18, Justin Miller, who went on to claim the 2018 PDTR 360 Sprint Car championship, slipped past Pokorski to drop the West Bend driver to 10^th.  As the laps wound down Kevin Karnitz managed to seize the 10^th spot away from Pokorski, who wound up 11^th in a race won by Danny Schlafer.

“The car was a little off all night,” Pokorski said. “We are always trying some different things and Saturday night was no different. The changes we tried did what they were supposed to, but they got the car way too tight and made it kind of a handful to drive.”

Pokorski finished the team’s most consistent season in 14 years by completing every lap of every A main he competed in during the 2018 campaign, while steering clear of major incidents or mechanical malfunctions.

The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion racked up five top-five A-main finishes, 16 top-10 A-main showings and five heat race triumphs in 24 events during the 2018 campaign.

Drawing on the strength of its highly consistent finishes, the Pokorski Motorports team placed fifth in the final PDTR standings and fourth in the MSA standings, just three points out of third place, during the 2018 season.

“As a team, I think we are all proud of the fact that we made it through the season and completed every lap of every race with no crashes,” Pokorski said. “That makes it a lot more fun for everybody involved.”

Pokorski is thankful for the support the team received from its sponsors throughout the 2018 season and is already looking forward to doing it all over again in 2019.

“I want to thank all of our 2018 sponsors, who continue to support us,” Pokorski said. “We will start working on 2019 in the next week or so. It is going to be a long winter and we have some work to do to improve a bit next year.”

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 12, 2018 – Despite finding themselves behind the 8-ball throughout the second-to-last Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program of the season, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team fought hard to claw out an 11^th place showing in the 360 Sprint Car A main at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 8.

With 27 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars signed in for the program, an unfriendly draw forced the 26-year veteran to start last in the first Sprint Car heat race. After lining up ninth in the nine-car heat race, Pokorski worked past Tyler Brabant and Chris Clayton with a nifty low move in turn one to advance to seventh on lap 2. Pokorski maintained his position the rest of the way to notch a seventh-place showing in the 10-lap race.

After making the A-main invert when another driver was disqualified for failing to weigh in following heat race action, Pokorski started the extended 30-lap 360 Sprint Car A main from the 16^th spot. The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion searched to find his comfort zone on the tricky track surface in the opening laps of the event.

On lap 4, Pokorski moved up to 15^th in the running order. Three laps later, Pokorski worked around Scott Conger and Tony Wondra to advance to the 13^th spot. After settling in to run the outside groove, Pokorski powered around Doug Wondra on lap 13 to work his way into 12^th.

As the laps wound down, Pokorski hit his stride as he bolted past Chris Flick in turn four on lap 16 to secure 11^th. Pokorski was gaining quickly on the 10^th-place car of Travis Arenz when the checkered flag flew on the caution-free race, which was won by Justin Miller.

“We knew we were going to have a hard road to hoe with the bad number draw for the heat race,” Pokorski said. “We tried a couple of things hoping to make the car better than the last couple weeks in the heat race. Instead, it made it worse. So, we went back to what’s been working for us for the A main and the car was good again. I think over the last five laps, we were as fast as anyone, but starting 16^th really makes it tough.”

After two weeks off, the Pokorski Motorsports team will close out the 2018 PDTR and Midwest Sprint Car Association campaign on Saturday, Sept. 29 at The Plymouth Dirt Track, along with the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, Wisconsin Wingless Sprint Cars and Wisconsin-Illinois Mini Sprints.

Pokorski enters the final night of the 2018 season tied for fourth place in the PDTR point standings with Danny Schlafer, 94 points behind points leader Kurt Davis. In the MSA points race, Pokorski also sits fourth.

“We are hoping to put together a solid run in our last night of the year to finish off the season strong,” Pokorski said. “Then we will start getting ready for next year right away. I picked up some body panels on Saturday to start the preparation process for 2019 already.”

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 5, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team enjoyed a successful Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) double dip of racing action over the Labor Day weekend tallying a pair of top-10 A-main showings on Friday, Aug. 31 at the Outagamie Speedway powered by EWSC in Seymour, Wis. and Saturday, Sept. 1 at The Plymouth Dirt Track during the Sheboygan County Fair in Plymouth, Wis.

The inaugural MSA event at Outagamie Speedway powered by EWSC drew a field of 24 entries vying for a bolstered traveling series event purse featuring a $1,500 first-place prize.

Pokorski started the third MSA heat race from the fourth starting spot and wasted no time vaulting his way past Scott Conger and Anthony Knierim into second place on the well-manicured third-mile clay oval. Using primarily the outside line of the multi-groove racing surface, Pokorski gradually reeled in race leader Travis Arenz, eventually move into striking distance on lap 8.

As the white flag was displayed Pokorski dove under Arenz entering turn one and pulled ahead of the MSA rookie exiting turn two. Arenz battled back to try the same move on Pokorski in turn three, but the 26-year veteran held on along the high groove to record his fifth heat race victory of the 2018 season in the 10-lap event.

After starting eighth in the 25-lap MSA A-main, Pokorski fell back to 11^th on lap 5 before battling back to work past Tim Haddy into 10^th on lap 11. Seven laps later, Scotty Thiel in Randy Sippel’s 39s machine, ducked under Pokorski to move him to 11th.

Two laps later, Pokorski used the low groove to claw his way past Kevin Karnitz into 10^th. On lap 22, Pokorski wrestled ninth place away from Lance Fassbender and then set his sights on Shane Wenninger as the laps wound down.

While Pokorski was unable to work around Wenninger, Travis Arenz dropped out on the final lap to give Pokorski eighth place at the finish line in the caution-free race, which was won by Brandon McMullen.

“The MSA event at Seymour on Friday was great all around,” Pokorski said. “The track was really good, the whole event went well and our heat race was fun for sure. The car had a little miss in the engine we fought all night, and that may have cost us some in the main.”

On Saturday, Sept. 1, the Pokorski Motorsports team traveled to The Plymouth Dirt Track for the annual Sheboygan County Fair Night race program, which saw 24 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars sign in.

After starting fifth in the first PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski fell back to seventh on the opening lap before rallying to pass Chris Larson for sixth on lap 3 and Jeremy Hunt for fifth on lap 4. Pokorski charged in to pressure Tony Wondra for fourth starting on lap 7, but he was unable to pull off the move and wound up fifth at the finish line.

With a few scratches eliminating the need for a B main, Pokorski lined up 13^th in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main. Pokorski utilized a strong start to move into the ninth position on lap 10.

After a pair of caution flags on lap 10, Pokorski used a strong restart to bolt past Wayne Modjeski and Tony Wondra to assume the seventh spot on lap 12. Pokorski maintained the seventh until working past Kurt Davis to take over sixth as the laps wound down. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion went on to place sixth in the 25-lap event, which was won by Brandon McMullen, to secure his 16^th top-10 A-main finish of the 2018 campaign.

“On Saturday at Plymouth we got rid of the miss we had Friday at Seymour by replacing plugs, the magneto and ignition switch,” Pokorski said. “The car was good all night. I was a little disappointed after the heat. Tony Wondra and I had a good battle in the heat race, but ending up fifth put us way back for the start of the main. In the end, I was pretty happy to go from 13th to sixth in the A.”

With two events remaining in the 2018 season, Pokorski stands fourth in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car points standings 65 points behind points leader Kurt Davis.

On Saturday, Sept. 8, Pokorski Motorsports will compete in the second to last night of the 2018 Midwest Sprint Car Association season at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. Hot laps will begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing to follow at 6 p.m.

“I wish the season was four months longer, but we will enjoy the next two nights and then focus on getting ready for next year,” Pokorski said.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 29, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team enjoyed another solid night of 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. racking up the team’s fourth heat race triumph and 14 top-10 A-main finish of the 2018 campaign on Saturday, Aug. 25.

With 26 PDTR Sprint Cars signed in, Pokorski started on the pole of the first Sprint Car heat race. The 26-year racing veteran jumped out to the lead on the drop of the green flag and motored away from the field to notch an impressive victory in the 10-lap event.

After lining up sixth in the 25-lap PDTR Sprint Car headliner, Pokorski found himself running seventh when a red flag was displayed on lap 11 for an incident on the frontstretch involving Doug Wondra and Robbie Pribnow, which sent Wondra flipping.

On the restart, Pokorski briefly challenging Brandon McMullen for the sixth spot before Kevin Karnitz pulled off a slide job to seize the seventh spot from Pokorski on lap 14.

In the closing laps, Justin Miller moved in to challenge Pokorski for eighth before he eventually seized the position with a slide job on lap 24 to push Pokorski back to ninth when the checkered flag fell on the race, which was won by Kurt Davis.

“The car ran well in the heat race and I was pretty confident that the A main would go well, but I was obviously disappointed with the result,” Pokorski said. “The car didn’t feel terrible, but something was lacking, that’s for sure.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team was scheduled to compete in a Midwest Sprint Car Association event at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam on Friday, Aug. 24, but rain forced the program to be cancelled.

With four events remaining in the Midwest Sprint Car Association season, Pokorski sits third in the MSA point standings. He also stands fourth in the PDTR Sprint Car point standings, 65 points out of first place, with three races remaining in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 2018 campaign.

The Pokorski Motorsports team is preparing for the final doubleheader weekend of the 2018 Midwest Sprint Car Association season as it travels to the Outagamie Speedway in Seymour to compete with the Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Association on Friday, Aug. 31.

The EWSC program, which also features IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Northern Sport Mods, Grand Nationals, IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Compacts, will begin with racing at 6:30 p.m.

On Saturday, Sept. 1, Pokorski will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track with the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars, which will be joined by the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series for an all-Sprint Car program during the Sheboygan County Fair. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. with IRA qualifying and racing to follow.

“I’m really looking forward to this coming weekend,” Pokorski said. “We ran at Seymour a couple of years ago. It’s a nice track and I’m anxious to see what EWSC has done with the facility. The fair night at Plymouth is always a great atmosphere. It should be an exciting weekend of racing. I can’t wait.”

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 22, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team completed another successful doubleheader weekend of Midwest Sprint Car Association competition, highlighted by a season-best second-place showing at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 18, coupled with an 11^th-place showing in the team’s debut at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, Wis. on Sunday, Aug. 19.

On Saturday, Aug. 11, the Pokorski Motorsports team returned to The Plymouth Dirt Track where a strong field of 28 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars signed in to do battle on the third-mile clay oval.

After lining up fifth in the second PDTR Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski worked his way into fourth place on the opening circuit of the 10-lap event. On lap 3, Pokorski dove low on the wide and fast track surface to pass rookie Chris Flick for third in turn two. The 26-year veteran maintained the third position the rest of the way to secure a spot in the 25-lap main event.

Following the heat race passing points invert, Pokorski started the PDTR Sprint Car headliner from the eighth starting spot. Pokorski used a strong start to vault his way into fifth on the opening lap before Kevin Karnitz flipped in turn two to bring out a red flag.

On the restart, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion worked his way into fourth place before slipping past Justin Miller to seize third on lap 3. As the leaders encountered slower traffic, Pokorski utilized the high groove to power around Travis Arenz for second on lap 11.

Five laps later, Arenz and Mike Yurmanovich collided exiting turn four to slow the pace on lap 16 with Pokorski sitting second behind polesitter Tony Wondra, who had led the race from the start.

Over the final nine laps, Pokorski stuck close to Wondra along the high groove, but was never able to mount a serious challenge to the leader as he held on to post his fifth top-five finish and 13^th top-10 showing of the 2018 campaign with a season-best second-place finish behind race winner Tony Wondra.

“Saturday at Plymouth went really well for us,” Pokorski said. “The car was fast and the track was decent. It turned out to be a great night with a strong finish in the A main.”

Less than 24 hours later, the Pokorski Motorsports team made the long haul to the Northwoods of Wisconsin to compete in a special MSA late afternoon event at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, where 22 MSA competitors converged to chase the top prize. The event marked the first time the MSA had competed at TNT Speedway since 2004 and the debut for the Pokorski Motorsports team at the third-mile clay oval facility.

After starting fifth in the first MSA Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski held down his position throughout the 10-lap event to finish fifth.

In the 30-lap MSA Sprint Car headliner, Pokorski rolled off 13^th and worked his way up to 11^th when the first caution of the race appeared on lap 8 for a spin involving Robbie Pribnow. Pokorski used a huge restart to charge past four cars into seventh on lap 9. On the following lap, Pokorski passed Chris Flick along the outside line to secure sixth.

Seven laps later, Pokorski began to backslide as Josh Walter and Justin Miller relegated him to eighth before the West Bend driver saw his left rear tire go flat on lap 19.

After the crew changed the tire, Pokorski restarted the race from the 18^th spot. Two more caution periods over the final 11 laps helped Pokorski advance up through the field to seize 10^th from Tony Wondra on lap 24.

However, Wondra battled back to regain the 10^th spot on lap 28 as Pokorski wound up finishing 11^th in the race, which was won by Kurt Davis.

“Sunday at TNT was a unique experience for us having never been there before,” Pokorski said. “Hot laps were encouraging and the result in the heat race was kind of disappointing from a competitive standpoint. The feature was far more racey than I thought It would be. It was a fun race and a really good overall experience at a new track for us.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team is now preparing for another doubleheader weekend of MSA competition. This Friday, Aug. 24, the team will make his second and final appearance of the season at the Dodge County Fairgrounds “Horsepower Half Mile” in Beaver Dam, where Pokorski claimed a runner-up showing in an MSA A main on July 7.

The MSA 360 Sprints will be joined by the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Modifieds on Friday, Aug. 24 at the Dodge County Fairgrounds. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with IRA qualifying and racing to follow.

“I can’t wait to go back to Dodge County this Friday after the strong run we had there in July,” Pokorski said. “Hopefully, we can build off our success from last time. I love these two-race weekends.”

The Pokorski Motorsports team will then return to The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth on Saturday, Aug. 25. Hot laps begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m.

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 15, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team doubled its pleasure with a pair of strong showings in 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth and Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie last weekend.

On Saturday, Aug. 11, the Pokorski Motorsports team rolled into The Plymouth Dirt Track where 21 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Sprint Cars signed in to do battle on the third-mile clay oval. Despite a brief late-afternoon rain shower that moved through the Plymouth area, the PDTR program went off without a hitch with the added precipitation producing a fast and tacky track surface throughout the majority of the program.

After lining up third in the third PDTR Sprint Car heat race, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion powered under Danny Schlafer to maintain the third position on the opening circuit of the 10-lap race. Pokorski held down the third spot through the race on the lightning fast track surface to trail runner-up Travis Arenz and race winner Tony Wondra to the finish line.

After starting the 25-lap A main from the outside of the front row, Pokorski settled into the second spot behind polesitter Danny Schlafer during the first four laps. On lap 5, Justin Miller ducked under the high-riding Pokorski to seize second before Brandon McMullen snuck past on lap 12 to relegate Pokorski to fourth.

As Pokorski continued to ride the high groove, Kevin Karnitz slipped past on lap 18 to move the three-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion to fifth.

After a caution slowed the pace on lap 19, Pokorski used a great restart to charge past Karnitz and Miller to position himself in third over the final six laps. Utilizing the high groove, Pokorski was closing on the top two cars of Brandon McMullen and Danny Schlafer when the checkered flag flew. Schlafer nipped McMullen for the victory, while Pokorski came home third to notch his fourth top-five showing of the 2018 season.

“Saturday at Plymouth went pretty good,” Pokorski said. “We were off by just a little bit, but all in all it was a good night for us.”

On Sunday, Aug. 12, Pokorski ventured to the Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, where 20 cars signed in for the second Midwest Sprint Car Association event of the 2018 season at the historic facility.

After starting second in the second MSA heat race, Pokorski bolted around polesitter Jim Melis along the cushion to grab the lead on the drop of the green flag. Pokorski pulled away to register his third heat race victory of the season by a full-straightaway margin.

Pokorski began the 25-lap MSA A main from the seventh starting spot and ran in the seventh spot throughout the majority of the event before utilizing lapped traffic to pass Shane Wenninger for sixth on lap 20.

Pokorski held on to place sixth in the caution-free race and register his 12^th top-10 A-main showing of the season as Travis Arenz posted his first career MSA A-main victory in the race.

“Sunday night the track was the best we’ve had at Angell Park in quite some time,” Pokorski said. “We were off on the car a little bit, but it was still one of the better handling cars we’ve had there. All things considered, it was a good night.”

Pokorski and his fellow MSA competitors are set for another doubleheader weekend starting with the first annual Ken Markwardt Memorial Race at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Aug. 18. Racing is set to begin at 6 p.m.

On Sunday, Pokorski will make his debut at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes with a special early 3 p.m. start time on tap for a traveling MSA event.

“I can’t wait do it twice again this weekend with Plymouth and TNT,” Pokorski said. “TNT should be interesting with the early 3 p.m. start. I am expecting it to get dry slick and hopefully racy.”

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 8, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team continued their string of consistently strong performances by racking up their 10^th top-10 A-main showing of the 2018 season in 360 Sprint Car racing action at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 4.

With 22 PDTR Sprint Car checked in for the Past Champions Night event, Pokorski began the third PDTR Sprint Car heat race from the third starting spot. The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) Masters Series champion used the low groove to slip past Adam Miller into second place in turn one of the opening lap.

On lap 2, Miller battled back to gain the second spot and the two veteran drivers exchange slide jobs in a thrilling duel over the next two laps before Miller caught the turn four wall and flipped as he raced with Pokorski for the second spot on lap 3.

Following the restart, Shane Wenninger stole second from Pokorski in turn two. However, on the next lap Pokorski battled back to execute a slide job in turn two to take command of the runner up spot, which he held to the checkered flag.

During intermission, Pokorski was recognized along with a large contingent of former track champions at Plymouth, during the annual Past Champions Night ceremony. Pokorski captured two Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified championships while racing at Plymouth weekly in 2003 and 2004.

After rolling off sixth in the 25-lap A-main event, Pokorski struggled to find grip on the slick and wide track surface before falling back to ninth place on lap 15. The lone caution flag appeared when early race leader Danny Schlafer spun to a stop in turn two on lap 21 to set up a four-lap dash to the finish.

After restarting seventh, Pokorski got a big jump along the outside groove to move up to fourth on lap 23. However, as the track began to lay rubber in the low groove, Pokorski found himself stuck in the outside lane on the final lap, which resulted in him falling back to sixth at the finish line in a race won by Kurt Davis.

“The car was good pretty good all night,” Pokorski said. “The track did change quickly during the feature and I was a little late moving down off the cushion to the bottom as the track changed. I was very disappointed with myself for missing the bottom on the entry to turn one on the last lap. That cost us a couple of spots at the finish. I’m looking forward to the doubleheader of racing next weekend at Plymouth and Angell Park.”

This weekend kicks off a string of four consecutive doubleheader weekends of racing action for the Pokorski Motorsports team.

On Saturday, Aug. 11, the team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track for a night of racing featuring extra purse money in the 360 Sprint Car A main thanks to an anonymous donor. Grandstands open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

On Sunday, Aug. 12, the Pokorski Motorsports team will make its second and final appearance of the season at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie for a special Midwest Sprint Car Association traveling series event at the historic oval.

Pokorski will be looking to improve on an eighth-place showing in the MSA’s previous visit to Angell Park on June 3. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing to follow.

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 1, 2018 – After sitting idle for 14 days due to a rain out last Saturday, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team returned to action in impressive fashion by notching a strong fourth-place showing 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 28.

With 27 PDTR Sprint Cars on hand for the event, Pokorski began the second PDTR Sprint Car heat race from the sixth starting spot. The 26-year veteran showcased his skill by ducking low in the first turn of the opening lap to maneuver his blue No. 4 machine past Chris Clayton and Anthony Knierim to claim fourth on the first circuit of the 10-lap event.

Despite encountering a throttle issue throughout the heat race, the 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) Masters Series champion held on to the fourth spot the rest of the way en route to locking up the 10^th starting position in the 25-lap PDTR Sprint Car main event.

“The throttle linkage was hanging up and the car wouldn’t idle in the heat race, so hitting my entry properly each lap was tough,” Pokorski said.

On a wide and smooth track surface that was ripe for slide jobs, Pokorski went to work slicing his way up through the field in the A main. On lap 4, Pokorski slid past PDTR Sprint Car rookie Chris Flick to assume ninth.

After a caution was displayed for Danny Schlafer, who caught the turn three wall on lap 11, Pokorski restarted the race in eighth place. On lap 16, Jim Melis executed a slide job to steal eighth. However, Pokorski returned the favor to maintain the eighth spot on lap 17.

Five laps later, Pokorski pulled off a huge slide job in turn two to squeeze his way past Justin Miller to assume seventh on lap 22. On lap 23, contact between Tyler Brabant and Doug Wondra brought out a caution flag and bumped Pokorski up to fourth on the final single-file restart.

On the restart, Miller briefly surged ahead of Pokorski in turn two, but Pokorski battled back to maintain the position with a power move off of turn four en route to a fourth-place showing and his third top-five and ninth top-10 A-main showing of the 2018 campaign in a race won by Brandon McMullen.

“We tried something a little different again and it seemed to work okay,” Pokorski said. “I thought the track prep was decent. All the slide jobs in the feature were fun, and some guys made passes on the bottom too, so I’d say the track was pretty good. I can’t wait to do all again this Saturday.”

On Saturday, Aug. 4, the Pokorski Motorsports team will again be in action at The Plymouth Dirt Track as PDTR celebrates Past Champions Night. Pokorski will be among the former Plymouth track champions who will be honored during a special ceremony at intermission. Pokorski captured two Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified championships while racing at Plymouth weekly in 2003 and 2004.

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

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 10, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team completed a successful doubleheader weekend of Midwest Sprint Car Association action by racking up a pair of impressive top-10 showings.

On Friday, July 13, Pokorski posted a season-best runner-up finish in the MSA portion of the Harry Neitzel Tribute event at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. and came back on Saturday, July 14 to post a sixth-place finish in a Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Mid-Season Championship race at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis.

Before a standing room-only crowd at the big half-mile track at the Dodge County Fairgrounds for an event also featuring the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars and Dirt Kings Late Models, 23 MSA Sprint Cars checked into the pit area for the second annual Harry Neitzel Tribute Night.

After starting on the outside of the front row in the second MSA eight-lap heat race, Pokorski outpowered polesitter Adam Miller to take the lead in turn one of the opening circuit.

Pokorski survived a pair of caution flags for the stalled machines of Bill Taylor and Ben Schmidt to post his first heat race victory of the 2018 season and 55^th overall race triumph of his MSA career.

The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion rolled off for the 20-lap MSA A main from the seventh starting spot and was running inside the top 10 when a five-car incident set off by the flipping car of Al Schlafer in turn three brought out a red flag on lap 3.

After restarting in the seventh spot, Pokorski bolted around Emily Portschy and Travis Arenz to move into the top five. The caution flag was displayed on lap 11 for the stalled machine of Tim Haddy to set up a nine-lap sprint to the finish.

Pokorski restarted in the third position and quickly moved past Justin Miller to assume the runner-up spot on lap 12.

Over the final eight laps, Pokorski found his comfort zone along the high groove on the lightning fast “horsepower half mile” to reel in leader Kevin Karnitz. As the laps wound down, Pokorski was closing quickly. However, Pokorski’s bid for victory came up four car lengths short at the finish as he had to settle for a season-best second-place finish behind Karnitz.

“The car was the most comfortable car I have ever had at Dodge County,” Pokorski said. “We tried a couple new things to get it to that point, so I was pretty happy with the result.”

The doubleheader weekend of action continued at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 7 as 20 PDTR Sprint Cars checked in for the Mid-Season Championship Night of racing at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds.

Pokorski started second in the heat PDTR Sprint Car heat race and wasted no time making a low move on polesitter Tony Wondra in turn four to take the lead on the opening lap. By lap 6, Pokorski had built up a full straightaway advantage over Wondra on the dry, slick racing surface.

The 26-year open-wheel racing veteran cruised the rest of the way to notch his second heat race victory of the weekend.

After lining up sixth in the extended 30-lap Mid-Season Championship Sprint Car A main, Pokorski was running in the eighth position when the second of two caution flags appeared on lap 10 for a spin involving Danny Schlafer and Chris Clayton in turn three.

On the restart, Pokorski ducked low on the predominantly one-lane track to slip past Shane Wenninger on lap 21 and Kenjay Fiedler on lap 23 to secure sixth in the running order.

As the track started to lay rubber along the low line, Pokorski maintained the sixth spot the rest of the way en route to his seventh top-10 A-main showing of the 2018 campaign.

“Saturday night at Plymouth found us facing some very different track conditions,” Pokorski said. “It was not my favorite kind of track for sure. The car was reasonably good, but we still need to do better for the next time we have those conditions.”

On Saturday, July 14, the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track for Autograph Night. Grandstands open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

After the races, the team encourages fans to visit the No. 4 Sprint Car pit area for autographs, treats and gifts courtesy of Pokorski Motorsports.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 26, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team tallied yet another top-10 A-main showing, during a doubleheader weekend of 360 Sprint Car racing action with the Midwest Sprint Car Association at Spring Lake Speedway in Unity, Wis. and The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

After turning in an 11^th-place finish in the team’s debut at Spring Lake Speedway last year, Pokorski and his team returned to the Northwoods of Wisconsin for a special Midwest Sprint Car Association event on Friday, June, 22.

With 24 MSA Sprint Cars on hand, Pokorski started and finished fifth in the second Sprint Car heat race. All 24 cars transferred to the A main where Pokorski started 13^th and improved four spots to place ninth and record the team’s fifth top-10 A-main showing of the 2018 season.

Despite encountering a rubbered-over track surface for the much of the A main, Pokorski was pleased to register another top-10 finish in the race, which was won by Justin Miller.

“We were so, so in the heat race and pretty good for the A main,” Pokorski said. “We got a couple of spots early on and then the rubber came in and that kind of killed any passing. It did make it fast though.”

For the second consecutive year, an enthusiastic crowd turned out in droves for the lone Sprint Car event of the 2018 season at Spring Lake Speedway.

“The crowd was very good and the promoter was happy,” Pokorski said. “We are looking forward to coming back to Spring Lake again next year.”

Less than 24 hours after pulling out of the Spring Lake Speedway pit area, the Pokorski Motorsports team rolled through the pit gates at The Plymouth Dirt Track where 25 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Sprint Cars were on hand.

After starting eighth, Pokorski placed sixth in the first Sprint Car heat race to earn the 14^th starting spot in the 25-lap main event.

The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion advanced to the 10^th spot in the early going before getting caught up in an accident, which forced him to the work area with a flat tire.

After restarting at the tail of the field, Pokorski battled back to register a 12^th-place finish in a race won by Kurt Davis.

“We were really solid and car was good at Plymouth on Saturday,” Pokorski said. “We had a poor heat race draw and a very fast race track made passing hard in the heat race. The car was really good in the A main. However, we had a flat after getting involved with a mess created by a spinning car.

“We managed to get back past a few cars to salvage a 12^th-place finish, so things turned out pretty well all things considered,” he said. “It was just a little frustrating to get caught up an accident, which spoiled a good chance at a strong top-10 showing.”

Pokorski joined with the racing community in reflecting on the loss of 2016 Knoxville Nationals champion and five-time ASCS National 360 Sprint Car Series champion Jason Johnson of Eunice, La., who suffered fatal injuries in an accident while battling for the lead in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series event at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, June 23.

“God bless Jason Johnson’s family and friends,” Pokorski said. “That was very sad to hear about.”

On Saturday, June 30, the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track with grandstands opening at 4:30 p.m., hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 19, 2018 – A week of hard work in the shop paid off with another top-10 finish in A-main competition for Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team in 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Friday, June 15.

With 29 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars checked into the pit area for the special Friday night event featuring the Russ Scheffler Tribute Race in the PDTR Late Model division, Pokorski started third in the fourth Sprint Car heat race.

Pokorski ducked under Nich Melis to gain the third spot in turn three on the opening lap. On lap 5, Kurt Davis powered around Pokorski to briefly take over third. However, Pokorski battled back to regain the third position on lap 6 and held on the rest of the way to secure a spot in the 25-lap Sprint Car A main.

After rolling off 12^th in the Sprint Car main event, Pokorski settled into 10^th on lap 4 before advancing past two more cars along the high groove of the wide and racey track surface to take eighth on lap 11.

Following first caution flag of the event flew on lap 17, Pokorski fell back to 10^th place in the restart before another caution appeared on lap 18. On the second restart, Pokorski found hit his stride to streak past Justin Miller and Tony Wondra on lap 19 before passing Josh Walter on lap 21 and Brandon McMullen on lap 23 to secure a solid sixth-place finish.

“I didn’t get a very good start at the beginning of the A main and the dust made it hard to see the first couple of laps, but once we got spaced out a little, we got rolling and the end result was good,” Pokorski said. “We advanced six spots from where we started, but I think I lost at least three spots at the start, so we passed more cars than it would appear.”

After failing to finish in the top 10 for the first time this season in a PDTR/MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main event on June 9 at Plymouth, Pokorski credited the team’s fourth top-10 A-main finish of the year to a highly productive midweek brainstorming session in the shop.

“We tried something new this week,” Pokorski said. “Dave Schultz came down and spent Wednesday evening in the shop with me, experimenting and discussing a few new theories to try. It had an immediate positive effect. We have a new baseline to work off of now and few other things we will need to tweak and hopefully make things even better.”

The team was scheduled to take part in a Bank First Midwest Sprint Car Association event at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes on Saturday, June 16, but rain forced the race to be cancelled. The MSA will appear at TNT Speedway later in the season on Sunday, Aug. 19.

Pokorski Motorsports is now gearing up for a doubleheader weekend of action starting with a special Friday night Midwest Sprint Car Association event event at the Spring Lake Speedway in Unity on Friday, June 22.

Grandstand gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m. and racing beginning at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, June 23, the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track with grandstands opening at 4:30 p.m., hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

“I can’t wait for two straight days of racing this coming week,” Pokorski said. “I hope that our team and the other Bank First MSA teams can put on a good show for the fans at Spring Lake Speedway in Unity on Friday.”

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 12, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team came into Plymouth Dirt Track Racing (PDTR) Sprint Car competition at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 9 riding the wave of three consecutive top-10 A-main showings.

However, the evening proved to be an uphill battle, which resulted in Pokorski racking up a 13^th-place showing in the PDTR Sprint Car A main to finish outside of the top 10 for the first time in Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) A-main action this season.

After starting sixth in the first Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski crossed the finish line fifth, which relegated him to the B main, where he rolled off fifth. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion ran a steady race to finish fourth in the B Main and earn one of the six available transfer spots to the Sprint Car A main.

Pokorski began the 30-lap Sprint Car A main from the 20^th starting spot and gradually worked his way up through the field utilizing the outside groove of the third-mile clay oval.

Aided by a pair of caution periods, Pokorski managed to gain seven spots over the course of the event to record a 13^th-place finish in a race won by Kevin Karnitz.

“The track was a little heavier than normal and we struggled a bit,” Pokorski said. “We have some work to do this week to try and find some solutions.”

Pokorski Motorsports is gearing up for a doubleheader weekend of action starting with a special Friday night event at The Plymouth Dirt Track featuring the Russ Scheffler Tribute Race for the PDTR Late Model division on Friday, June 15. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands opening at 5:30 p.m. and racing slated to begin one hour later than normal at 7 p.m.

On Saturday, June 16, the Pokorski Motorsports team is slated to make its first appearance at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, Wis. for a special Midwest Sprint Car Association event. Hot laps are scheduled to start at 5 p.m. with racing to begin at 6 p.m.

“I’m looking forward to TNT,” Pokorski said. “Hopefully it will be wide and racey. Two nights of racing, as long as things go well, is always fun.”

The Pokorski Motorsports sponsors for the 2018 season include: Quest Engineering Inc., Acme Armature Works Inc., Goeden’s Auto Body, Goodwin Racing Engines, Jens, Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Services & Crematory, Kettle Moraine Landscaping, Novak’s Service Center, Pedal Down Promotions, Tisler Salvage Inc., Allied Bearing Corporation and The Cawley Company.
