Julien claims second straight IRA event

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 29, 2025 – With the bright lights of the Sheboygan County Fair midway framing a vibrant background, two-time and defending Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth flashed to his 50^th career 360 Sprint Car victory Friday, Aug. 29 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

In the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series main event, 16-year-old rising star Logan Julien of Oconomowoc executed the winning pass in the closing laps on the way to his second straight A-main victory.

Polesitter Lance Fassbender of Burnett, who claimed the 2008 PDTR 360 Sprint Car title, led the opening two circuits of the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car main event.

On lap 3, outside front row starter Brandon Berth of Cascade used a slide job to vault past Fassbender into the lead. Berth pulled away to a solid advantage before catching the rear of the field on lap 8. However, the slower cars didn’t faze Berth as he maintained a full-straightaway cushion over Fassbender on lap 11.

Seven laps later, the first caution flag of the race was displayed for the spinning car of Ryan Sawusch. When the race resumed, sixth starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend moved into second with Ben Schmidt, who started eighth, following in third.

A red flag appeared on lap 19 for a flip involving Joseph Hintz of Burnett. Following the restart, Karnitz dove low to pressure the cushion-riding Berth for the lead. Another caution for a Sawusch spin bunched the field on lap 21.

When the green light turned on, Schmidt turned it on as he camped his No. 1 machine on the low line to power past Karnitz into second. On the 23^rd circuit, Schmidt ripped off the winning move, sliding past Berth in turn four to seize the lead.

The 25^th-year racer went on to nail down his fourth Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car victory of the 2025 season, 28th career PDTR A-main win and 50th career MSA triumph.

Berth, who had outdueled Schmidt for the win one week prior, had to settle for second. Karnitz placed third, Chris Clayton of Waldo, the fourth starter, wound up fourth, and Fassbender rounded out the top five.

“I’ve been racing at this track since 2000,” Schmidt said. “I’ve had some huge support over the years. I need to thank everyone for that. This win feels awesome. Last week, he [Brandon Berth] got me for the win by running the bottom in the closing laps. Tonight, everyone was running the top, so I went where they weren’t, and the bottom worked for us to get the win.”

Outside front row starter Jake Neuman of New Berlin, Ill., led the first two laps of the IRA 410 Sprint Car main event before polesitter Max Guilford of Auckland, New Zealand, grabbed the top spot on lap 3.

Guilford wasted no time bolting out to a huge full straightaway cushion, while two-time PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls, who started third, bolted into second on lap 6.

Guilford caught the rear of the field just as the first of two yellow flags appeared on lap 9 for the spinning car of Tyler Brabant. Following the restart, Austin Hartmann slowed to a stop in turn four to bring out the second caution flag of the race.

The final restart saw fourth starter Logan Julien flex his muscle by slipping past Arenz into third along the rubber down inside lane in turns three and four. While Guilford ran the cushion just off the wall, Logan clung to the low line to drive into the lead on lap 27.

Julien, who captured the 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award, held off Guilford’s late bid to retake the lead along the high line to notch his second career and second straight IRA 410 Sprint Car A-main win.

“I saw some lapped cars running really fast down low in turns three and four,” Julien said. “When I saw that, I knew there was rubber on the bottom. I was able to roll the top in one and two, and then the bottom in three and four to track down Max [Guilford]. It’s crazy to get back-to-back wins like this. To get my first 410 win last week [at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill.] was amazing, and now to get another one this week is unbelievable.”

Arenz was second, Guilford took third, Neuman wound up fourth, and seventh starter Blake Nimee of Yorkville, Ill., placed fifth.

Thomas Schinderle of Berkley, Mich., won the 12-lap IRA B main.

Billy Kreutz of Kiel earned PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier accolades with a fast lap of 12.196 seconds.

Logan Julien took IRA 410 Sprint Car fast qualifier accolades for a lap of 11.335 seconds.

The event attracted a field of 52 entries, including 28 IRA 410 Sprint Cars and 24 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars.

The next event at The Plymouth Dirt Track is the eighth annual Jim “Wildman” Watson Classic on Saturday, Sept. 20, featuring the final race of the 2025 WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour season. The Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars, A Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Bandits are also on the card.

Grandstands open at 4 p.m. with hot laps/qualifying at 5 p.m. and racing at 5:45 p.m.

Berth, Ruh notch A-main wins

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 22, 2025 – Multi-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing track champions Will Sorce of Franksville (Grand Nationals) and Tim Warner of Malone (B Mods) added to their PDTR championship collections to close out the 2025 campaign on Friday, Aug. 22, at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

A late-race pass propelled Mike Mullen of Seymour to a $3,500 victory in the 40-lap WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour Ted Dolhun Sr. Classic.

Brandon Berth of Cascade outdueled two-time and defending track champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth in the closing laps to notch the win in the 25-lap Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car main event.

Mavrick Ruh of Elkhart Lake earned his first career 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National A-main victory, as Will Sorce secured his third consecutive division title.

Tim Warner put a seal on his fourth PDTR Sheboygan Flooring B Mod title by earning the victory in the 25-lap main event.

After polesitter Nick Anvelink of Bonduel nipped outside front row starter Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha to lead the opening circuit, calamity ensued on lap two when Scheffler got out of shape exiting turn four and collected six-time PDTR Late Model champion Brad Mueller of Random Lake and Troy Springborn of Shawano. Mueller and Springborn suffered too much damage to continue.

When the race resumed, seventh starter Brett Swedberg of Shawano ducked low to take second away from 2014 PDTR Late Model champion Mitch McGrath of Waukesha, who started third, on lap 3.

Swedberg flexed his muscle by pulling up next to Anvelink to challenge for the lead on lap 4. Anvelink maintained the top spot and built up a solid cushion over McGrath by lap 8.

On lap 17, Anvelink caught the rear of the field just before Justin Ritchie of New London stopped in turn four to bring out the second caution flag of the event.

Swedberg bested McGrath on the restart to seize second before the third caution appeared for the spinning car of Shawn Miller of Gillett on lap 21. Following the final restart, 10th starter Mike Mullen became a factor as he edged past Swedberg to take over second in the running order.

Mullen moved in to pressure Anvelink for the top spot starting on lap 23, staying within striking distance over the next 15 laps. The veteran driver pounced with a race-winning low move when Anvelink slipped high in turn four on lap 38.

Anvelink, who owns seven career Dirt Kings Tour season championships, battled back on the final lap. Still, Mullen held on by a car length to secure his second career Sheboygan’s Rock Station 106.5 The Buzz PDTR Late Model A-main victory and ninth career Dirt Kings main event triumph.

Anvelink had to settle for second, Swedberg was third, Joel Bennett of Hortonville charged up from the 12th starting spot to take fourth and Taylor Scheffler battled back from the rear of the field following his lap 2 incident to place fifth.

The 360 Sprint Car A-main got off to a rocky start when the machine of Trevor’s Ellie Hensley rolled in turn one to bring out a red flag. When the race got under, second starter Brandon Berth bolted into the lead before West Bend’s Alex Pokorski stormed into second from the fourth starting position on lap 4.

Five laps later, Pokorski hit the front stretch wall after dueling with Sheboygan’s Scotty Thiel, who started third. The incident brought out a caution flag and prompted Pokorski to head to the work area to replace a flat right rear tire.

On the restart, fifth starter Ben Schmidt flew around Thiel to nail down second and quickly set his sights on the lead. Schmidt tracked down Berth and used a low move to take over the top spot on lap 10.

Five laps later, Thiel stole second from Berth and began to reel in Schmidt. Another caution flag came out on lap 17 for the slowing car of Shane Wenninger of Kewaskum.

Following the restart, Berth shot past Thiel and rapidly cut the gap to Schmidt. Shortly after the restart, Berth made the decisive move, rebounding to retake the lead on lap 18.

He then pulled away to record his second career PDTR 360 Sprint Car triumph and eighth career Midwest Sprint Car Association main event win.

Schmidt took second, Thiel was third, current point leader Kevin Karnitz of West Bend advanced from the eighth starting spot to finish fourth and seventh starter Tony Wondra of Campbellsport finished fifth.

Polesitter Mavrick Ruh bolted into the lead on the opening lap of the Grand National main event and wasted no

time in opening up a large lead over third starter Jason Juech of Plymouth.

By lap 8, Ruh had built up a full straightaway cushion over Juech. Ruh ran away over the final 17 laps to capture his first career PDTR Grand National A-main victory in the caution-free race.

Juech was second, 2022 PDTR Grand National champ Luke Scholten of Oostburg took third after starting fifth, 2019 champion Tyler Kulow of Plymouth placed from the 10th starting position, and Will Sorce moved up from the eighth starting slot to capture his third career PDTR Grand National season title with a fifth place showing.

Outside front row starter Brendan Ostrowski of Milwaukee assumed the lead on lap 1 of the B Mod main event. On lap 5, the first of three caution flags was displayed for the spinning car of Parker Glander of Sheboygan Falls.

When the race resumed, Carsin Cullen of Chilton charged in to challenge Ostrowski for the lead beginning on lap 8. The leaders encountered slower traffic on lap 15 before the second caution came out for the stalled car of Sheboygan’s Steve Lorier on lap 18.

As the laps wound down, Ostrowski spun into the infield in turn two after racing with Cullen in close quarters on lap 21, which allowed 11th starter Tim Warner to take advantage by bolting into the top spot one lap later. The third and final caution flag was presented on lap 23 for a two-car incident in turn four.

Warner held on over the final two circuits to bag his fourth career PDTR B Mod track championship and division-leading 14th career A-main win.

Cullen placed third, 10th starter Matt Urban of Milwaukee placed third, Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls charged up from the 14th starting spot to finish fourth and Brandon Knepprath of Kewaskum took fifth from the eighth starting position.

Derek Kaat of Plymouth won the 12-lap Grand National B Main.

Mitch McGrath set a new Late Model track record in securing the evening’s top qualifier honors with a lap of 12.828 seconds.

Billy Kreutz of Kiel earned 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier accolades with a fast lap of 12.241 seconds.

The event attracted a field of 93 entries, including 21 Dirt Kings Late Models, 26 360 Sprint Cars, 24 Grand Nationals and 22 B Mods.

The next event at The Plymouth Dirt Track features the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing 410 Sprint Car Series joining the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars during the Sheboygan County Fair on Friday, Aug. 29.

Weiss, Lorier, Strane Jr. tally A-main triumphs

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 2, 2025 – As one of the most successful drivers in the history of The Plymouth Dirt Track, Kewaskum’s Donny Goeden has written the book on winning races at the third-mile clay oval throughout his standout 40-year Wall of Fame career.

Goeden, who ended a six-year retirement from racing at Plymouth in 2022, added a new winning chapter by earning his first 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main victory in nearly nine years on Saturday, Aug. 2.

Brad Weiss of Cascade claimed his first 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National A-main win of the 2025 campaign.

Sheboygan’s Steve Lorier raced to victory in the 25-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod main event.

Brian Strane Jr. of Paris emerged victorious in the 20-lap IRA Lightning Sprints A main presented by guest division sponsor Sheboygan’s Rock Station 106.5 The Buzz.

Contact between polesitter T.J. Smith of Greenville and outside front row starter Billy Kreutz of Kiel on the initial start of the 360 Sprint Car A main led to a multi-car incident on the back stretch, which collected Justin Erickson of Plymouth, Burnett’s Joseph Hintz, Hayden Johnson of Campbellsport and Kewaskum’s Bill Taylor.

Following a lengthy red flag period, Kreutz, who maintained control of his car during the melee, retained his starting spot at the front of the field. Erickson, Johnson and Taylor restarted the race at the tail of the field, while Smith and Hintz were forced to retire from the event.

When the green flag flew, Kreutz bolted into the lead from the pole with original third starter Goeden, who restarted second, following close behind.

On lap 2, Goeden powered into the lead along the high groove in turn two and quickly pulled out to a half-straightaway advantage over Kreutz. Two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee brought out a caution flag after contacting the back stretch wall on lap 8.

Following the restart, original fifth starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend used a high move to launch past Kreutz and gain the runner-up spot. Three laps later, two-time and defending PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Ben Schmidt of Plymouth advanced up from his original 11th starting position to secure third.

As the laps wound down, Goeden found himself mired in dense lapped traffic, which allowed Karnitz to pull within striking distance with five laps to go. On lap 23, Karnitz ducked low in turn four in a bid to wrestle away the lead from Goeden.

However, the two-time Plymouth Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion turned back Karnitz’s advances on the way to his first PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory since Sept. 2, 2016, 22^nd career PDTR 360 Sprint Car triumph and 23rd overall Midwest Sprint Car Association main event win. It was also Goeden’s 41st career A-main victory at Plymouth in 360 Sprint Car and Winged Super Modified competition.

With the win, Goeden became the 10^th different driver to claim an A-main victory in 2025 PDTR 360 Sprint Car action.

Karnitz had to settle for second, Schmidt wound up third, Chris Clayton of Waldo placed fourth after originally starting ninth and Kreutz rounded out the top five.

Outside front row starter Brad Weiss jumped into the lead at the start of the Grand National A main before a caution flag flew for a two-car incident in turn two.

When the race resumed, fifth starter Will Schumacher of Hartford bolted into second with three-time PDTR Grand National champ Don Sorce Jr. of West Allis advancing to third from the seventh starting spot.

On lap 5, Sorce Jr. assumed second as Weiss built up a half-straightaway cushion. Lapped traffic proved to be a challenge for Weiss starting on lap 14 as Sorce Jr. quickly cut into the lead gap.

Sorce Jr. drew side-by-side with Weiss, who got caught behind a lapped car on lap 17. The two drivers dueled in close quarters on lap 18 before Weiss executed what proved to be the winning move by boldly splitting two slower cars entering turn three on lap 19 to establish an insurmountable gap over Sorce Jr.

Weiss pulled away to earn his second career PDTR Grand National A-main win.

Sorce Jr. placed second, Will Schumacher was third, ninth starter Derek Kaat of Plymouth placed fourth and 2019 PDTR Grand National champion Tyler Kulow of Plymouth wound up fifth after starting sixth.

Scott Quarnstrom of Lake Villa, Ill. led the opening lap of the B Mod main event from the pole with fifth starter Tim Thrun of Horicon in tow. On lap 6, Steve Lorier, who started sixth, moved past Quarnstrom to seize the top spot.

Lorier led third starter Vince Jung of Iron Ridge and ninth starter Cole Thomas of Germantown past the halfway point before four consecutive caution flags for spins bunched the field down the stretch.

The cautions didn’t faze Lorier as he held on to earn his sixth career PDTR B Mod A-main triumph.

Jung placed second, Thomas was third, seventh starter Brandon Knepprath of Kewaskum placed fourth and Rory Welch of Plymouth moved up from the 11^th starting position to round out the top five.

After polesitter Ron Brannam of Barrington, Ill. grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the IRA Lightning Sprints main event, the race was stopped twice when flips involving Tim Brannam and Max Brannam of Holiday Hills, Ill. brought out two successive red flags.

When the race resumed, Chad Stouthamer of Big Bend swept into the lead from the fourth starting spot with Brian Strane Jr., who started 11th, trailing close behind.

On lap 8, Strane Jr. made what proved to be the winning move in turn two on the way to his fifth IRA Lightning Sprint A-main victory of the 2025 campaign.

Stouthamer was second, third starter Mike Neau of Pleasant Prairie placed third, Tucker Richards of Bristol claimed fourth after starting eighth and sixth starter Nick Petska of Spring Grove, Ill. finished fifth.

Donny Goeden secured 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier honors with a lap of 12.490 seconds.

Nick Petska turned in a lap of 13.504 to earn the fast qualifier award in the IRA Lightning Sprints division.

The event attracted a total of 73 cars, including 23 360 Sprint Cars, 22 Grand Nationals, 16 B Mods and 12 Lightning Sprints.

The evening, which featured a Kids Coin and Candy Drop courtesy of VanDerVaart Concrete Products, Kids Coloring Contest and Kids Glow Stick Giveaway sponsored by Modern Woodmen of America, was sponsored by Pit Stop Pizza.

PDTR action resumes on Saturday, Aug. 9, featuring the final race of the 2025 Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series season presented by guest division sponsor Sheboygan’s Rock Station 106.5 The Buzz.

Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha heads into the program with a six-point lead over six-time PDTR Late Model champion Brad Mueller of Random Lake in the chase for the 2025 track title.

The program also marks the final Dirt Devil Grand National Series event of the 2025 Plymouth Dirt Track season, presented by PDTR division sponsor Oostburg Automotive.

The PDTR Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car and Sheboygan Flooring B Mods will also be in action.

Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying slated for 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

Schumacher, Urban, Taylor visit A-main victory lane

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 26, 2025 – Kevin Karnitz of West Bend fended off a fierce challenge from Cascade’s Brandon Berth to secure his second 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main victory of the 2025 campaign in the Christmas in July racing program at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 26.

Nick Schumacher of Eagle turned in an impressive victory in the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National main event.

Matt Urban of Milwaukee posted a flag-to-flag triumph in the 25-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod A-main.

Adam Taylor of Wheatfield, Ind. survived a spirited duel with Zach Raidart of Gurnee, Ill. to claim the 20-lap Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series A-main presented by guest division sponsor Sheboygan’s Rock Station 106.5 The Buzz.

Kevin Karnitz, who came into the night as the division points leader, grabbed the lead on the drop of the green flag of the PDTR 360 Sprint Car headliner from the pole with outside front row starter Tony Wondra of Campbellsport and Burnett’s Joseph Hintz, who started sixth, in tow during the initial laps.

The first of two caution flags appeared on lap eight when Hintz spun in turn four. On the restart, fourth starter Brandon Berth moved his way into third and then ripped off a slide job in turn four to sweep past Wondra into second on lap 16 as the leaders worked through the rear of the field.

With five laps to go, Berth hunted the lead and attempted to clear Karnitz with a slide job in turn two on the final scheduled lap, which Karnitz held at bay. However, the second caution flag of the race flew seconds later when Eric Wilke of Genesse stopped along the front stretch wall to set up a green-white-checkered flag finish.

Berth mounted one last bid for victory with a slider in turn four of the final circuit. However, Karnitz again turned back Berth’s challenge on the way to his second A-main victory of the 2025 campaign, eighth career PDTR 360 Sprint Car win and 10th main event victory of his Midwest Sprint Car Association career.

Berth had to settle for second, Wondra wound up third, third starter Tyler Davis of Franklin finished fourth and T.J. Smith of Greenville advanced from the ninth starting position to place fifth.

PDTR rookie Greg Goschey of Slinger led the first three laps of the Grand National A-main event from the pole before two-time PDTR Grand National champion Brad Lubach of Kiel swept into the lead on lap 4 from the third starting spot with a low move behind the wheel of Scott Sohrweide’s IMCA Stock Car.

Goschey battled back to briefly regain the lead on lap 6 before sliding back after contact with Lubach near the flagstand on lap 7. A caution flag appeared on lap 8, which bunched up the field.

However, the restart produced a six-car incident in turn one, which resulted in the machine of Chilton’s Nate Ruh flipping onto its roof. With Lubach back in the lead for the restart, Sheboygan’s Ryan Minster moved up from the seventh starting position to nail down second.

Another caution flag on lap 13 allowed 14th starter Nick Schumacher to shoot from third to second and quickly close the gap on Lubach. On lap 14, Schumacher bolted into the lead and pulled away to a full straightaway advantage in the closing laps on the way to his first PDTR Grand National A-main victory of the 2025 season and fourth career main event triumph at Plymouth.

Lubach, who owns the most career A-main victories in the history of the PDTR Grand National division, finished a close second in a guest driving role, Minster placed third, eighth starter Derek Kaat of Plymouth placed fourth and Will Schumacher of charged up from the 17th starting position to round out the top five.

Outside front row starter Matt Urban outpowered polesitter Parker Glander of Sheboygan Falls to lead the opening circuit of the B Mod main event. By lap five, Urban opened up a half-straightaway cushion over third starter Vince Jung of Iron Ridge.

After the first caution of the race slowed the pace on lap 7, ninth starter Cole Thomas of Germantown advanced into second and three-time PDTR B Mod champ Tim Warner of Malone charged up from the 11th starting position to move into third.

Following another caution on lap 14, Warner and Thomas mounted a spirited duel for the runner-up spot. However, Urban was too strong to be challenged down the stretch as he rolled to his first career PDTR B Mod A-main triumph.

Thomas claimed a hard-earned second place showing just ahead of Warner, who placed third, fourth starter Steve Lorier of Sheboygan finished fourth and Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls moved up from the fifth starting spot to complete the top five.

After dueling with polesitter Tyler Kuxhouse of Antioch, Ill. for the top spot on the opening lap of the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series main event, second starter Adam Taylor assumed the top spot on lap 2. One lap later, Zach Raidart advanced from the third starting position to claim second and quickly bolted in to pressure Taylor for the lead.

Raidart hounded Taylor throughout the remainder of the race as the leader stuck to the outside groove of the third-mile Plymouth oval. Raidart tested Taylor with a pair of slide job attempts down the stretch. Still, Taylor was unfazed on the way to his second Plymouth Dirt Track win of the 2025 season and fifth Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series victory of the 2025 campaign.

Raidart finished a close second, Kuxhouse wound up third, eighth starter Jordan Miklas of Watertown finished fourth and sixth starter Bryce Andrews of Kenosha rounded out the top five.

Dustin Weiss of Iron Ridge won the 12-lap Grand National B main.

Billy Kreutz of Kiel wrapped up the overall fast qualifier award in the 360 Sprint Car division with a lap of 12.173 seconds.

Bryce Andrews was the top qualifier in the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series with a lap of 13.569 seconds.

Steenbergen, Warner race to PDTR main event victories

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 28, 2025 – Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha executed a late pass to secure a $2,000 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing payday in the 30-lap Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series headliner presented by Sheboygan Rock’s Station 106.5 The Buzz at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 28.

In the 25-lap Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car main event, Brandon Berth of Cascade made his maiden visit to victory lane in 360 Sprint Car A-main competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Jeff Steenbergen of Johnson Creek incorporated late heroics on the way to victory in the 25-lap Dirt Devil Grand National Series headliner presented by Oostburg Automotive.

Three-time PDTR Grand National champion Tim Warner of Malone posted the win in the 25-lap B Mod A main.

Polesitter Mitch McGrath of Waukesha grabbed the early lead in the 30-lap Super Six Late Model Series main event as six-time Brad Mueller of Random Lake, who started second, dueled with third starter Brett Swedberg of Shawano for the runner-up spot.

Following a pair of cautions, Mueller secured second on lap 5 with Taylor Scheffler moving into third from the seventh starting position. After the third and final caution flag of the race flew on lap 9, Scheffler used the high groove to steer around Mueller into second on the 10th circuit.

Scheffler continued to work the cushion to reel in McGrath as the laps ticked down. Finally, Sheffler swept into the lead with a high move in turn four on lap 24. Over the final six laps, Scheffler built up a commanding full-straightaway cushion on the way to his 10th career PDTR Late Model A-main victory.

Mueller was second, Swedberg wound up third, 11th starter Joe Bongiorno of Milwaukee placed fourth and Bill Edler of Howards Grove moved up five positions to round out the top five.

Second starter Brandon Berth outpowered polesitter Shane Wenninger of Kewaskum, who was in Chris Larson’s No 51 car, to gain the lead on the drop of the green flag in the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car main event.

Two-time and defending PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth quickly maneuvered his way into second from the fourth starting spot on the second go-around.

On lap five, Berth caught up to the tail of the field and began the process of slicing his way through slower traffic. The lone caution of the race appeared on lap 8.

When the race returned to green flag action, Berth again cruised away from Schmidt and worked lapped traffic to his advantage down the stretch on the way to his first career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main triumph and seventh overall Midwest Sprint Car Association A-main win.

Schmidt finished second, Wenninger wound up third, sixth starter Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill. placed fourth and Greenville’s T.J. Smith advanced eight spots to place fifth.  

Nick Schumacher of Eagle seized the early lead of the 25-lap Dirt Devil Grand National Series headliner from the pole while outside front row starter Mark Kuhfuss of Sheboygan Falls followed in second.

By lap 10, Schumacher had built his advantage to a full straightway over Kuhfuss.

As Kuhfuss began to close the gap on Schumacher on lap 16, Steenbergen advanced from his 11th starting spot to take over third. The first of two caution flags came out on lap 20 when Kuhfuss stopped with a mechanical issue.

One lap later, Steenbergen ducked under Schumacher to gain the top spot exiting turn four before two-time defending Grand National champ Will Sorce of Franksville, who started 13th, grabbed second on lap 24.

As the white flag flew, two-time seven-time Plymouth Dirt Track champion Brian Gilles of Plymouth spun in turn three to bring out the second and final caution flag of the event.

On the single-file green-white-checkered flag restart, Sorce worked the high line to pressure Steenbergen for the top spot. However, Steenbergen, who has five career A-main triumphs to his credit in the PDTR B Mod division, held strong to nail down his first career main event win in the PDTR Grand National ranks.

Sorce was second, Schumacher placed third, fourth starter Darryl Traber of Waterford finished fourth and sixth starter Chad Espen of West Bend wound up fifth.

Polesitter Kelan Wolfe of Oostburg led the opening lap of the PDTR B Mod headliner before three-time PDTR B Mod champ Tim Warner bolted his way into the lead on lap 2 from the seventh starting position.

By lap 6, Warner had established a substantial full straightaway cushion over third starter Tim Thrun of Horicon. After a pair of cautions appeared on lap 6 and lap 18, 2024 PDTR B Mod champion Travis Schmidt of Plymouth, who started 10th, dueled side-by-side with ninth starter Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls for the runner-up spot.

Long spun into the infield in the closing laps as Warner cruised to his division-leading 13th career PDTR B Mod main event triumph.

Schmidt placed second, Logan Brass of Howard Grove charged up 15 spots from the 18th starting position to finish third, 12th starter Cole Thomas of Germantown was fourth and Rory Welch of Plymouth placed fifth from the sixth starting spot.

Two-time Plymouth track champion Dick Hed of Plymouth was victorious in the first 12-lap Grand National B main at 86 years of age. Jake Richards of Neshkoro took the win in the second 12-lap Grand National B main.

Elijah Koenig of Fox Lake earned the victory in the 12-lap B Mod B main.

Mike Mullen of Seymour secured the fastest qualifying time in the Super Six Late Model Series division with a lap of 13.582 seconds.

Alex Pokorski claimed fast qualifier honors in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car division with a lap of 12.678 seconds.

The eighth event of the 2025 PDTR campaign, sponsored by Pedal Down Promotions, attracted 106 total entries, including 33 Grand Nationals, 30 B Mods, 24 360 Sprint Cars and 19 Late Models.

After taking the Fourth of July Weekend off, Plymouth Dirt Track Racing returns to action with the fourth annual Plymouth Racing Wall of Fame Induction Night program on Saturday, July 12.

Names of five drivers, four track workers/car owners and two racing families will join the Wall of Fame with inductees recognized during a special ceremony at intermission. In addition, past trophy queens will be introduced.

Richards, Spaulding, Wuesthoff shine

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 14, 2025 – One of the most successful Sprint Car drivers in and around the state of Wisconsin over the past 37 years, Scotty Neitzel of Beaver Dam, made a surprise appearance at The Plymouth Dirt Track pay off with a victory in the 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A main on Saturday, June 14 in Plymouth, Wis.

A pair of first-time winners found their way to victory lane as Jared Spaulding of Greenville posted a win in the 25-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod main event and Phillip Wuesthoff of Beaver Dam emerged from a thrilling three-way duel to capture the 25-lap Sheboygan’s Rock Station, 106.5 The Buzz Unified Street Stock A main.

In the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National headliner, Jake Richards of Neshkoro proved triumphant.

The start of the 360 Sprint Car main event saw second starter Tyler Davis of Franklin lead the opening lap before 2008 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Lance Fassbender of Burnett burst into the lead along the outside lane of the well-manicured, multi-groove racing surface.

Fassbender built up a solid cushion over Davis in the initial stages of the race before catching the back of the field on lap 6.

As the leaders weaved through slower traffic, Neitzel, who started on the pole, closed in to pressure Fassbender for the top spot. After dueling side by side over the next two circuits in thick lapped traffic, Neitzel used a low move to steal the lead from Fassbender heading into turn one on lap 10.

Neitzel, who is a two-time Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series champion, began to stretch his advantage in the ensuing laps as 10th starter Alex Pokorski of West Bend worked the cushion to take over third on lap 15.

Four laps later, Pokorski moved around Davis to gain the runner-up spot. On the following circuit, the lone caution flag of the race appeared when Fassbender stopped along the back stretch.

Neitzel, who earned the 1996 Beaver Dam Raceway Bandit 360 Sprint Car title, utilized the high groove to pull away from Pokorski over the final five laps on the way to his third career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory and 14th Midwest Sprint Car Association triumph in his first 360 Sprint Car appearance of the 2025 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Pokorski placed second, two-time and defending PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Ben Schmidt of Plymouth raced his way up from the 12th starting spot to place third, three-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Donny Goeden of Kewaskum finished fourth after starting 13th and 11th starter Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill. completed the top five.

Outside front row starter Jason Juech of Plymouth controlled the first 10 laps of the Grand National main event before Will Schumacher of Hartford maneuvered from the fourth starting spot to assume the lead in turn four on lap 11.

Meanwhile, Jake Richards was close behind mounting a stirring charge to the front from the 10th starting position. On lap 13, Richards vaulted into second and set his sights on Schumacher for the lead.

The first of three cautions came on lap 16 for a multi-car incident in turn four, which knocked two-time and defending Grand National champ Will Sorce of Franksville out of the race.

Following the restart, Richards catapulted his way into the lead with a low move past Schumacher in turn one.

After two more caution flags on lap 20 and lap 23, Richards cruised to his second PDTR Grand National A-main win of 2025 and third overall triumph in the division at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Schumacher finished second, Jack Wiroll of Sheboygan Falls started and finished third, 2019 PDTR Grand National champion Tyler Kulow of Sheboygan placed fourth from the ninth starting position and fifth starter Derek Kaat of Plymouth rounded out the top five.

Polesitter Tim Thrun of Horicon built up a big lead in the first seven laps of the B Mod main event before a caution flag flew on lap 8 for a two-car incident in turn three.

On lap 13, Jared Spaulding, who started seventh, worked his way into the second spot and quickly moved in to pressure Thrun for the top spot. Spaulding slipped underneath Thrun to steal the lead three laps later.

As Spaulding ran away at the front, Thrun engaged in a battle for second with 2024 PDTR B Mod champion Travis Schmidt of Plymouth, who started 11th, in the closing laps.

Spaulding went on to claim his first career PDTR B Mod main event victory.

Schmidt nipped Thrun at the line to take second, Thrun was third, ninth starter Matt Urban of Milwaukee placed fourth and Steve Lorier of Sheboygan charged up from the 14th starting position to finish fifth.

The Unified Street Stock guest division featured a barn burner of a contest between second starter Phillip Wuesthoff, Derek Schrauth of Omro, who started fourth, and Dan Gracyalny of Greenville, who came from the 10th starting spot.

Wuesthoff seized the early race lead before Schrauth advanced to challenge for the point on lap 7. The two drivers dueled side by side over the next six laps before Wuesthoff finally fended off Schrauth to maintain the lead on lap 13.

Three laps later, Schrauth came back to assume the top spot as Gracyalny bolted up to make it a three-car duel at the front. The top three ran in lock-step formation as they weaved their way through lapped traffic in the closing laps.

Gracyalny swept into the lead on lap 23 and appeared headed to victory lane. However, contact with a lapped car coming to the checkered flag sent Gracyalny spinning into Wuesthoff, who was surging in the outside lane.

The collision between Gracyalny and Wuesthoff turned both cars sideways with Wuesthoff inching across the finish line as the victor of the well-contested, highly intriguing race.

It was Wuesthoff’s first career Street Stock A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track. Gracyalny took second, Schrauth wound up third, Courtney Atkinson of Muskego raced up from the 15th starting spot to take fourth and Paul Diefenthaler of Two Rivers placed fifth after starting 11th.

Joseph Hintz of Burnett won the 12-lap 360 Sprint Car B main. Sheboygan’s Ryan Minister was victorious in the 12-lap Grand National B main. Vince Jung of Iron Ridge earned the win in the 12-lap B Mod B main and Brooke Diefenthaler of Manitowoc placed first in the 12-lap Unified Street Stock B main.

Scotty Neitzel earned fast qualifier honors in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car division with a lap of 13.015 seconds.

The sixth event of the 2025 PDTR campaign, sponsored by Vesta, drew 111 total entries, including 32 B Mods, 29 Unified Street Stocks, 26 360 Sprint Cars and 24 Grand Nationals.

Hintz, Gilles, Long pay victory lane visits

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 10, 2025 – Mike Mullen of Seymour held off Mitch McGrath and Nick Anvelink, two of the most accomplished Dirt Late Model competitors in the state of Wisconsin, to record his first career 106.5 The Buzz Late Model A-main victory as part of the 2025 Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series season opener Saturday, May 10 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

In other A-main action, 15-year-old Joseph Hintz of Burnett rolled to victory in the 25-lap Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car A main.

Seven-time Plymouth track champion Brian Gilles of Plymouth collected the victory in the 25-lap Oostburg Auto Grand National main event, which also served as the debut event of the 2025 Dirt Devil Grand National Series.

Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls claimed the victory in the 25-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod headliner.

Mitch McGrath, who claimed the 2014 PDTR Late Model championship, jumped into the lead on the opening lap from the pole position as Mike Mullen, who started third, slotted into second place with fourth starter Nick Anvelink following close behind in third.

On lap 5, Mullen closed the gap on McGrath to mount a charge for the lead. One lap later, Mullen dove low to seize the lead from the cushion-pounding McGrath in turn three.

Following the first of two caution flags for a spin on lap 9, Anvelink used a strong restart to wrestle second away from McGrath before a second caution flag was displayed on lap 11 for a stalled car.

McGrath countered Anvelink’s move by sweeping past the eight-time Dirt Kings Late Model Tour champion on lap 12. As the leaders encountered slower traffic throughout the second half of the race, Mullen skillfully weaved his way around the lapped cars to stretch his advantage over McGrath to a full straightaway in the closing laps on the way to his first career Late Model A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

McGrath had to settle for second, Anvelink wound up third, five-time PDTR Late Model champ Justin Schmidt of Cleveland took fourth after starting seventh and 10th starter Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha completed the top five.

Two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee stormed into the lead on lap 1 of the PDTR 360 Sprint Car main event while fourth starter Joseph Hintz mounted immediate pressure for the lead.

After running the outside groove in the early going, Hintz used a low move in turn four to claim the lead from Davis on lap 6. Four laps later, Hintz caught the rear of the field, which gave Davis the chance to cut the gap.

Following tight racing for the top spot between Hintz, a second-year teenage upstart, and Davis, a seasoned veteran in his 40th season of competition, the first of two caution flags appeared on lap 15 for a single-car spin.

After the restart, eighth starter Brandon Berth of Cascade used a stellar outside move in turn two to vault his way from fifth to third in the running order. On lap 16, the hard-charging Berth swept past Davis to claim second.

Berth reeled in Hintz to move within striking distance on lap 19, but a caution for another single-car spin slowed the pace on lap 21.

After a single-file restart, Hintz held strong at the front of the field en route to his second career PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association A-main victory.

Berth wound up second, Davis took third, three-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Donny Goeden of Kewaskum bolted up from the 15th starting position to come home fourth and Kevin Karnitz of West Bend started and finished fifth.

Jack Wiroll of Sheboygan led the first three laps of the Grand National main event from the pole. On lap 4, two-time PDTR Grand National champ Brian Gilles of Plymouth, who started second, secured the lead by ducking under Wiroll in turn four.

Gilles then proceeded to build up a sizable full-straightaway cushion over Wiroll at the halfway portion of the race.

Former PDTR Grand National champions Tyler Kulow of Sheboygan, who started sixth, and Will Sorce of Franklin, who started 16th, worked their way into second and third, respectively on lap 14.

On the following lap, Sorce snuck past Kulow to earn the runner-up spot. Meanwhile, Gilles drove away to claim his seventh career PDTR Grand National A-main win.

Sorce placed second, Kulow wound up third, Jeff Steenbergen of Johnson Creek raced up from the 10th starting spot to finish fourth and Wiroll completed the top five.

Polesitter Spencer Long grabbed the lead on the opening lap with third starter Matt Urban of Milwaukee taking over the runner-up spot in the B Mod main event. On lap 2, three-time PDTR B Mod champion Tim Warner of Malone claimed third before passing Urban to seize second on lap 4.

Warner quickly closed on Long on lap 6. However, Long held strong along the extreme low groove of the 75-year-old third-mile semi-banked clay oval. Just as the leaders caught slower traffic, the lone caution flag was displayed on lap 14 for a single-car spin in turn two.

Following the restart, Warner clipped an infield tire, which damaged the front end of his car and forced him to retire from the race. With Long still out ahead, 10th starter Vince Jung of Iron Ridge slipped past Urban to seize second on lap 18.

Jung gradually cut the gap as Long negotiated slower traffic in the last five laps. Jung mounted an inspired charge on the closing circuit, which came up just one car length short at the checkered flag.

Long held on to secure his second career PDTR B Mod win. Jung had to settle for second, Urban took third, fourth starter Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam started and finished fourth and 11th starter Geoff Zdroik of Rubicon rounded out the top five.

B-main victories went to Shane Wenninger of Kewaskum subbing for Doug Wondra (360 Sprint Car), Jake Richards of Neshkoro (Grand National 1), Ryan Minster of Sheboygan (Grand National 2) and Travis Kleindl of Beaver Dam (B Mod).

Taylor Scheffler claimed top qualifying honors in the Late Model division with a lap of 13.546 seconds.

Kevin Karnitz and two-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champ Billy Kreutz of Kiel tied for the top qualifying time in the 360 Sprint Car division with identical laps of 12.818 seconds.

The second event of the 2025 PDTR campaign, sponsored by the city of Sheboygan Falls Fire Department, drew another strong field of 110 total entries, including 39 Dirt Devil Series Grand Nationals, 29 B Mods, 25 360 Sprint Cars and 17 Super Six Late Model Series cars.

The next PDTR racing program on Saturday, May 17, will feature the first 2025 appearance of the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series.

The PDTR 360 Sprint Cars and IRA Lightning Sprints will also be in action.

Richards, Zdroik, Zellmer secure A-main wins

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 26, 2025 – Two-time and defending Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth topped five-time track champion Donny Goeden of Kewaskum to fire up the 2025 season in victorious fashion in the 25-lap Akright Auto PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car A main on a chilly spring evening at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, April 26.

Jake Richards of Neshkoro won the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National main event.

Jim Zdroik of Hartford chalked up the win in the 25-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod A-main.

Adam Zellmer of Horicon racked up the A-main triumph in the 20-lap Midwest Legends Dirt Series main event.

Polesitter Brandon Berth of Cascade jumped into the lead on the opening circuit of the 360 Sprint Car main event before back-to-back cautions involving Katelyn Krebsbach of Cascade and Joseph Hintz of Burnett bunched the field on lap 2.

On the restart, three-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Donny Goeden, who started outside the front row, bolted in to challenge Berth from the top spot. The two drivers battled side by side over the ensuing lap before Berth clipped an infield tire sending his car flipping in turn two on lap 3.

Former PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Lance Fassbender of Burnett was also involved in the incident, which forced him to retire from the race on his first night back in his familiar No. 7 car after suffering serious burns last June.

Goeden, who began his racing career in the Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified division at Plymouth in 1985, controlled the restart before Ben Schmidt, who started fourth, maneuvered past fifth starter T.J. Smith of Greenville and dove under Goeden to assume the lead exiting turn four on lap 4.

Schmidt fended off Goeden over the next two laps before the race was slowed for the fourth time for Eric Wilke of Genessee, who spun in turn three on lap 6.

Smith and Goeden exchanged second place on the restart, which helped Schmidt build up a half-straightaway cushion. On lap 11, Schmidt caught the rear of the field, which helped Goeden close in to pull even with the two-time PDTR 360 Sprint champion on lap 13 as the two Sprint Car stalwarts weaved their way through lapped traffic.

Schmidt successfully negotiated the slower traffic to stretch his lead to a full straightaway over the final 10 laps en route to his 26th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory and 47th Midwest Sprint Car Association triumph. The victory pulled Schmidt into a tie for second on the all-time PDTR 360 Sprint A-main victory list with Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee.

Goeden, who owns 40 career A-main victories and five total track titles in Winged Super Modified (two) and 360 Sprint Car competition (three) at Plymouth, had to settle for second, sixth starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend placed third, Smith wound up fourth and Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill. charged from the 14th starting spot to place fifth.

“We went backward at the start,” Schmidt said. “It took a few laps for us to move forward. Then I was able to get past Donny after an early restart. It’s always good to finish ahead of a great driver like Donny. He’s been doing it really well for a long time here at Plymouth. To me, he’s the G.O.A.T. It feels good to be standing here in victory lane for the sponsors, crew and everyone that supports this team.”

The start of the Grand National main event was delayed by a six-car incident in turn three upon the drop of the original green flag. When the race got underway, polesitter Jake Richards bolted into the lead with fourth starter Jeff Richards of Montello sneaking into second.

After a yellow slowed the race on lap 4 for a spin involving 86-year-old two-time track champion Dick Hed of Plymouth, Jake Richards proved to be the class of the field over the final 21 circuits as he opened up a half-lap gap over Jeff Richards on lap 13 and cruised during the second half of the race to post his second career PDTR Grand National A-main triumph.

Jeff Richards finished second, Dustin Weiss of Iron Ridge drove up from the 13th starting position to place third, Jeff Steenbergen of Johnson Creek advanced 11 spots to take fourth and three-time PDTR Grand National champ Don Sorce Jr. of West Allis placed fifth after starting 16th.

Defending PDTR B Mod track champion Travis Schmidt of Plymouth took the lead of the B Mod main event from the pole with second starter Jim Zdroik of Hartford securing second.

Schmidt opened a solid lead in the first half of the race. However, contact with an infield tire while working through slower traffic forced him out of the race and handed the lead to Zdroik.

Zdroik held tight to the top spot over the final 12 circuits on the way to his first career PDTR B Mod A-main victory.

Geoff Zdroik of Rubicon, who started seventh, finished second, Vince Jung of Iron Ridge moved up from the ninth starting position to place third, 13th starter Cole Thomas of Franklin was fourth and eighth starter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville wound up fifth.

The 20-lap Midwest Legends Dirt Series main event was hindered by five yellow flags and one red flag in the first 10 laps.

Once the race settled into extended green flag action, polesitter Hayden Schmuhl of Beaver Dam held the lead in the closing laps before Zellmer worked his way up from the fifth starting spot to wrestle the lead away from Schmuhl in lapped traffic on lap 17.

Zellmer held on to secure the victory in the lone scheduled Midwest Legends Dirt Series event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in 2025. Alex Haese of Manitowoc claimed second after starting sixth, Schmuhl wound up third, Ryan Sullivan of Waupun worked his way up 10 spots to secure fourth and Cal Swenson of Hortonville took fifth after starting 11th.

Brandon Berth earned the overall PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier award with a quick lap of 12.926 seconds.

Dustin Weiss won the 12-lap Grand National B Main and Cole Thomas was victorious in the 12-lap B Mod B main.

The first event of the 2025 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Mayer Automotive, produced a packed pit area featuring 111 total entries, including 32 Grand Nationals, 30 B Mods, 26 Legends and 23 360 Sprint Cars.

The next PDTR racing program on Saturday, May 3 will showcase the 2025 Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series opener.

Myers Jr. doubles IRA 410 Sprint Car win tally

By Jeff Pederson-Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 31, 2024 – Sixth-year 360 Sprint Car competitor Justin Erickson of Plymouth schooled the field in applying the “how to win races” page from the dirt track racing 101 handbook to fend off past Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association champions Kurt Davis and Ben Schmidt on the way to his first 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Caar A-main victory of the 2024 season in front of a large Sheboygan County Fair Night crowd at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31.

In the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series main event, Joel Myers Jr. of Sebastopol, Calif. collected his second consecutive IRA main event victory of the 2024 campaign at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

NASCAR stock car and sports car competitor Josh Bilicki of Menominee Falls paced the first three-quarters of the opening lap of the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event from the pole before second starter Justin Erickson slipped past Bilicki coming off of turn four to lead lap one.

Erickson pulled away from Bilicki over the next four laps before the first of four race stoppages occurred on lap 5 when Scott Conger of Eagle spun in turn two.

Two laps later, 32^nd-year open-wheel veteran Paul Pokorski of West Bend slowed with a flat right rear tire to bring out the second caution flag of the event. The third caution appeared after another two laps were completed when Bilicki spun out of the runner-up spot in turn two to collect Brandon Berth of Cascade, who had been running third.

When the race returned to green flag action for an extended period, Erickson again flexed his muscle to pull out to a half-straightaway cushion on lap 15 as 2011 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion and current points leader Ben Schmidt of Plymouth, who started ninth, gave chase in second.

Meanwhile, two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion and five-time MSA title winner Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee swept into the third spot from the seventh starting position on lap 20.

One lap later Bill Taylor of Boltonville flipped in turn one following contact with a lapped car to trigger a red flag on lap 21.

Following a single-file restart, the high-riding Davis powered around Schmidt to heist second from inside-dwelling Schmidt on lap 22. However, Erickson was not to be denied as he rocketed away from the field to earn his second career PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car main event win, his first A-main triumph since May 21, 2022.

With the victory, Erickson became the seventh different driver to score an Akright Auto PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main triumph in nine 2024 A-main events. His main event win also represented the eighth different main event winner in 12 MSA events during the 2024 campaign.

Davis placed second, Schmidt moved a step closer to wrapping up his second career PDTR and MSA championship by finishing third, 17^th starter Eric Wilke of Genesee charged up 13 spots to come home fourth and Chris Clayton of Waldo also advanced 13 positions to round out the top five.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve got a win,” Erickson said. “The crew pours their heart out into this thing. Building our own motors that can compete with some of these guys is great. I love it.”

Schmidt extended his lead in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car points standings to 43 points over Alex Pokorski of West Bend and 48 points over Justin Erickson with just one event remaining on the 2024 schedule during the annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships on Saturday, Sept. 28.

Outside front-row starter Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan powered around polesitter Mike Reinke of Howards Grove to gain the early advantage in the 30-lap IRA main event.

By lap 6, Thiel had built up a solid full straightaway lead over the field working the extreme high side of the track.

However, on lap 12, Thiel spun in turn three after racing in close quarters with a lapped car. Following a trip to the work area, Thiel rejoined the field at the rear of the 24-car field.

Two circuits later the second caution flag was displayed when fourth starter Kyle Schuett of Philo, Ill. jumped the cushion and hit the wall in turn two before two-time IRA champion and sixth starter Jake Blackhurst of Hannah City, Ill. made contact, as the two drivers dueled for second.

When the race resumed, 12^th starter Joel Myers Jr., who advanced from fourth to second following the Schuett-Blackhurst incident, powered forward to slide past Reinke and grab the lead exiting turn four on lap 16.

Meanwhile, two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls, who started 11^th, slid underneath Reinke into second on lap 18.

The final 12 laps of the race proved to be intense as Arenz hunted Myers Jr. down with a cushion-pounding performance along the extreme high line of the well-manicured multi-groove third-mile clay oval. As the leaders weaved through slower traffic, Arenz dove underneath Myers Jr. to take over the top spot on lap 21.

One lap later, Shelby Bosie of Lincoln, Ill. flipped in turn four after contact with Myers Jr. Arenz controlled the restart at the head of the field, but Myers Jr. stayed focused on the top spot as the two leaders stayed glued to the high line, which extended close to the outside wall.

Myers Jr. stalked Arenz along the cushion until sliding past the three-time Plymouth Dirt Track division champion (2021-2022 PDTR 360 Sprint Car, 2013 Outlaw Compact) to wrestle away the top spot in thick lapped traffic on lap 26. Myers Jr. held on from there to post his second career IRA A-main victory, both of which have come at The Plymouth Dirt Track during the 2024 campaign.

Arenz earned a strong second place showing, 14^th starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. placed third, Thiel stormed back from his lap 12 spin to advance from the rear of the field to take fourth and 2022 IRA champion Jordan Goldesberry of Springfield, Ill. placed fifth after starting 13^th.

“Starting 12^th, I got a lot of spots early and had luck with Jake [Blackhurst] wrecking out and the 9 [Kyle Schuett] car wrecking,” Myers Jr. said. “Then Travis [Arenz] got me in lapped traffic. I saw he couldn’t run as hard as I could. I knew if I could run five good laps, I could get him and that’s what happened.”

Kevin Karnitz of West Bend was victorious PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car B-main.

Tylar Rankin of Angola, Ind. captured the win in the 12-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car B-main.

Mike Reinke claimed fast qualifier honors in IRA 410 Sprint Car Series qualifying with a lap of 12.031 seconds.

Katelyn Krebsbach of Cascade captured the overall PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier award with a fast lap of 12.271 seconds.

The 12^th event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Hemp Works of Waldo, featured a total of 54 Sprint Cars, including 27 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and 27 IRA 410 Sprint Cars.

Thiel, Kafka, Brass bank A-main victories

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 23, 2024 – Two weeks after claiming a 106.5 The Buzz Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series A-main victory with a late-race pass, it was a case of déjà vu as six-time WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour champion and current point leader Nick Anvelink of Bonduel pulled off another winning move in the closing laps en route to victory in the 30-lap 106.5 The Buzz Dirt Kings Tour Late Model A-main at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Friday, Aug. 23.

Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan made a rare appearance behind the wheel of Randy Sippel’s 39s car payoff as he rolled to victory in the 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event.

Scott Kafka of Cleveland led wire to wire en route to his first career 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National A-main victory. Will Sorce of Franklin secured his second career PDTR Grand National season championship with a sixth-place finish.

PDTR rookie Logan Brass of Howards Grove captured his first career 25-lap Sheboygan Falls B Mod A-main win. At the same time, Travis Schmidt of Waldo wrapped up his initial PDTR B Mod season title.

Outside front row starter Troy Springborn of Shawano used the high groove to outpower six-time PDTR Late Model and two-time Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series champion, who started on the pole, into the lead on the opening lap of the 30-lap Dirt Kings Late Model main event.

The two accomplished veteran drivers dueled side-by-side in the initial laps, while Nick Anvelink, who started fourth, moved into third on lap 3. Anvelink then charged into pressure Mueller for second on lap 6 and quickly closed the gap on Springborn on lap 7 before the first of five caution flags was displayed on lap 8 when five-time PDTR Late Model champion Justin Schmidt of Cleveland slowed in turn one.

Mueller used a strong restart to slip past Anvelink into second on lap 9 before pressuring the high-riding Springborn for the lead along the low groove on lap 10.

Two laps later, 2020 Dirt Kings Tour champion Justin Ritchie of New London spun in turn four to bring out the second caution. After one lap of green flag action, Charlie Schmidt spun in turn four to bring out the third yellow flag of the race.

Another strong restart from Mueller pushed the familiar blue and red No. 89 into the lead along the low groove on lap 14. Three laps later, Anvelink dove past Springborn with a slide job in turn four to advance into second.

The leaders were approaching slower traffic when the fourth and final caution flag was displayed for Shawn Miller of Gillett, who spun in turn four, on lap 26. Two laps later, Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha spun along the front stretch to draw the fifth and final caution flag of the event.

Anvelink hounded Mueller following the final restart and used an outside-in move in turns three and four to cut off Mueller’s inside line and sweep into the top spot on the second to last lap on the way to his 28^th career Dirt Kings Late Model Tour A-main victory, fourth career PDTR Late Model A-main win and second consecutive A-main triumph of the 2024 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

After losing the lead twice to Anvelink in the closing laps over the course of the last two Late Model A-mains at The Plymouth Dirt Track, Mueller had to settle for second. 2014 PDTR Late Model champ Mitch McGrath of Waukesha moved up to place fourth and Mike Mullen of Seymour started and finished fifth.

Inside third row starter T.J. Smith of Greenville bolted in to challenge polesitter Scotty Thiel for the lead along the low line on the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main.

Smith had surged into the lead on lap 2 just as a red flag was displayed when Katelyn Krebsbach of Cascade flipped hard along the back stretch. Following the restart, 2011 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth rode the cushion to swing into fifth on lap 3 from his eighth starting position.

The hard-charging Schmidt then bolted around fifth starter Brandon Berth of Cascade and second starter Alex Pokorski of West Bend to assume third on lap 8.

Thiel, who is the current Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series points leader, caught the rear of the field on lap 9, which allowed Smith to cut the lead gap a bit.

A yellow flag appeared on lap 11 when Spyder Akright rolled to a stop in turn four. The ensuing restart saw Schmidt dive low to sneak past Smith into the runner-up spot on lap 12.

Four laps later, the cushion-pounding Thiel was enjoying a half-straightaway advantage when he caught up to the back of the pack again. Brady Portschy then brought out the final caution flag of the event when he slowed in turn four on lap 19.

Thiel commanded the restart and cruised away from Schmidt over the final six laps on the way to his fourth career PDTR 360 Sprint Car main event win and 14^th career MSA 360 Sprint A-main victory in his first PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car start of the 2024 season.

With the win, Thiel became the sixth different driver to claim an A-main victory in the eight PDTR-MSA A-mains conducted at The Plymouth Dirt Track in 2024.

Schmidt came home second to maintain his PDTR and MSA points lead, Berth finished third, Pokorski placed fourth, while two-time PDTR and five-time MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee moved up from the seventh starting spot to finish fifth.

Scott Kafka seized the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap Grand National main event from the pole position and third starter Chad Espen of West Bend followed in second.

By lap 6, Kapka held a solid quarter-straightaway lead on Espen before 2022 PDTR Grand National champion Luke Scholten of Oostburg passed second starter Jason Juech of Plymouth to take over third.

On lap 10, Espen cut into Kapka’s gap before the lone caution flag of the race came out on lap 16 when Derek Kaat of Plymouth spun in turn four. Scholten attempted to use the outside lane to pressure Espen for second place following the restart.

However, Espen fended off the challenge, while Scholten dropped back to fourth on lap 18. Kafka continued to hold down the lead over the final seven laps on the way to his first career PDTR Grand National A-main triumph.

Espen finished second, 2018 PDTR Grand National champion Tyler Kulow of Plymouth finished third, after starting seventh, two-time PDTR Grand National champ and seven-time division champion at The Plymouth Dirt Track Brian Gilles of Plymouth placed fourth after starting 10^th and Scholten rounded out the top five.

Polesitter Tim Thrun of Horicon surged into the lead on the drop of the green flag of the 25-lap B Mod main event with third starter Ryan Pafford of Kiel in tow. From there, Thrun proceeded to build up an impressive full-straightaway cushion over Pafford by lap 10.

Thrun maintained a stranglehold on the lead, while first-year PDTR B Mod competitor Logan Brass advanced into second lap 17. The first of three caution flags appeared on lap 18 when Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam spun in turn two.

Sixth starter Geoff Zdroik of Rubicon charged into third before a pair of caution flags were displayed in rapid succession for the spinning cars of Barrett Hummelmeier on lap 18 and Jonathon Baumann on lap 22.

Brass utilized the ensuing single-file restart to his advantage to duck underneath Thrun and gain the top spot on lap 23. The third and final caution flag came out on lap 24 when Hummelmeier spun in turn two.

Following a single-file green-white-checkered flag, Brass proved to be too much for his closest pursuers as he bolted away to nail down his first career PDTR B Mod main event win.

Geoff Zdroik placed third, Thrun wound up third, seventh starter Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls finished fourth and eighth starter Brandon Knepprath rounded out the top five.

Bill Taylor Boltonville won the 12-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car B-main.

Austin Zdroik of Ashippun collected the victory in the 12-lap B Mod B-main.

Brad Mueller claimed fast qualifier honors in Super Six Late Model Series qualifying with a lap of 13.479 seconds.

Ben Schmidt earned the overall PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier award with a top lap of 12.645 seconds.

The 11^th event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Kriete Truck Centers, drew a season-high 94 total entries, including 29 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 26 B Mods, 21 Dirt Kings Late Models and 18 Grand Nationals.

Schmidt, Richards, Thomas bag A-main wins

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 10, 2024 – In his first appearance of the 2024 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track, Nick Anvelink of Bonduel utilized a late-race restart to slip past Random Lake’s Brad Mueller of Random Lake on the way to a $5,000 victory in the 30-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 106.5 The Buzz Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series 2024 season finale A-main at the venerable third-mile clay oval in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 10.

On the strength of a second place finish in the main event, Brad Mueller secured his second consecutive Super Six Late Model Series title and a record sixth Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Late Model championship.

Former PDTR and Midwest Sprint Car Association champion and current point leader Ben Schmidt of Plymouth captured the 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car A-main

Jake Richards of Neshkoro scored a wire-to-wire victory in the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National main event.

Cole Thomas of Franklin survived an incident-plagued time-shortened 21-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod A-main to claim his second A-main victory of the season in PDTR competition.

Outside front-row starter Mike Mullen of Seymour used the high groove to move around polesitter Brad Mueller and secure the initial lead of the 30-lap Super Six Late Model Series main event.

On lap 5, Nick Anvelink, who started third, moved in to challenge the high-riding Mueller for second along the inside lane. The two celebrated veteran competitors exchanged the runner-up spot before Mueller cleared Anvelink to maintain the spot on lap 9.

Meanwhile, Mullen caught up to the rear of the field on lap 9. Five laps later he found himself immersed in dense two-wide lapped traffic, which allowed Mueller and Anvelink to surge in to make it a three-way battle for the top spot.

With Mullen wedged in behind a pair of slower cars, Mueller used a high move in turn two on lap 16 to take over the top spot before the first of two caution flags appeared on lap 17 when Shawn Miller of Gillett spun in turn two.

On the restart, Anvelink dove low to power past Mullen and briefly challenge Mueller for the lead along the inside line of the smooth, slick, and multi-groove racing surface.

However, Mueller fended off Anvelink’s advances to maintain the lead along the cushion. The running order at the head of the pack stayed locked in place until the second caution flag flew on lap 27 when Kurt Moeller of Kaukauna spun along the back stretch.

Following a single-file restart, Anvelink reeled off a perfectly executed low-to-high short slider move to wrestle the top spot away from Mueller exiting turn four. The six-time WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour champion went on to secure his third career PDTR Late Model A-main victory and take home a big $5,000 first-place check in a rare appearance at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

“I saw Brad [Mueller] had his quarter panel ripped off, which probably wasn’t helping him near the end of the race,” Anvelink said. “I was able to get a run on that last restart, which ended up being just what we needed to end up with the win. They’ve done a great job with this series. I wished we would have been able to make it for more of these races this year, but it just didn’t work out for us schedule-wise. I have to thank everyone involved in making this happen. It was a fun race tonight.”

Mueller placed second to nail down back-to-back Super Six Late Model Series titles. In addition, Mueller moves to the top of the list of drivers who have competed in the PDTR Late Model division over the past 20 years by securing his sixth career track championship.

Mullen finished third, 2014 PDTR Late Model champion Mitch McGrath of Waukesha placed fourth after starting seventh and fourth starter Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha rounded out the top five.

The action was equally hot and heavy in the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car main event, as 1998 and 1999 Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion Billy Kreutz of Kiel jumped out to the lead from the pole position.

On lap 4, 14-year-old 360 Sprint Car rookie Joseph Hintz of Burnett moved in from this third starting spot to challenge the cushion-pounding Kreutz along the low groove. Meanwhile, 2011 PDTR and MSA champion Ben Schmidt rode the high line from his sixth starting spot into third on lap 6.

Two laps later, Kreutz, Hintz and Schmidt became embroiled in a heated three-car tussle for the point with Hintz surging into the lead on lap 11 as Schmidt pulled off a slide job to roll past Kreutz into second exiting turn four.

On lap 13, Schmidt shot into the lead along the cushion in turn two. One lap later, the lone caution flag appeared following a Josh Bilicki of Menominee Falls spin in turn two.

Schmidt darted away from the field on the ensuing restart while Kreutz battled back to regain second from Hintz on lap 17.

The 25-year racing veteran cruised over the final 10 laps of the race to secure his second PDTR A-main victory and third overall MSA win of the 2024 campaign.

In addition, Schmidt moved into third place on the all-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory list by claiming his 24^th main event victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track, while also claiming his 45^th career MSA A-main triumph to tie five-time MSA champion Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh for third on the all-time MSA victory list.

Kreutz notched a PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car career-best second place showing, Hintz was third, fourth starter T.J. Smith of Greenville placed fourth and seventh starter Alex Pokorski of West Bend completed the top five.

Polesitter Jake Richards outdueled outside front-row starter Jake Wiroll of Sheboygan to grab the lead on the first lap of the Grand National main event. By lap nine, Richards had built up a half-straightaway cushion over Wiroll.

On lap 10, fourth starter Scott Kafka of Cleveland was dueling with Wiroll for second when a flat tire on Kafka’s machine brought out the first of three race stoppages.

With sixth starter Nick Schumacher of Eagle his new pursuer, Richards again powered away from the field on the restart as two-time PDTR Grand National champ and seven-time overall track champion at The Plymouth Dirt Track Brian Gilles of Plymouth slowed with a flat tire before Jared Weiss of Fond du Lac made contact with Gilles’ disabled car along the front stretch to produce another caution on lap 11.

A four-car incident, which blocked the backstretch, forced a red flag on lap 13. Following the final restart, Schumacher stayed close to Richards during the second half of the race, as action raged behind them with four drivers racing in close quarters for third place in the closing laps.

Richards went on to post his first career PDTR Grand National A-main victory in very limited appearances at The Plymouth Dirt Track, Schumacher finished second, seventh starter Steven Weber of Plymouth took third, 2019 PDTR Grand National champ Tyler Kulow of Plymouth placed fourth after starting eighth and defending PDTR Grand National-co-champion and current point leader Will Sorce of Franklin moved up from the 13^th starting position to finish fifth.

Rookie Zachary Schmidt of West Bend assumed the early lead in the B Mod main event from the pole, while fifth starter Cole Thomas mounted an early charge to the front assuming second on lap 3 and taking over the lead from Schmidt with a low move in turn four.

The first of five caution periods came on lap 6 with a five-car incident on turn two. By lap 9, Thomas had built up a huge half-lap advantage over seventh starter Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls.

The ensuing 12 laps were interspersed with four more caution flags with Barrett Hummelmeier’s run from the 11^th starting spot into second on lap 18 highlighting the green flag action.

The fifth caution flag displayed upon the completion of lap 21 prompted the race to end due to the 25-minute time limit.

Thomas posted his second PDTR B Mod A-main victory of the 2024 season and his career at The Plymouth Dirt Track. Hummelmeier finished second, Long wound up third, Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville moved up from the ninth starting position to place fourth and PDTR B Mod point leader Travis Schmidt of Plymouth advanced from the 12^th starting spot to finish fifth.

Hunter Larson of Oshkosh won the B Mod B main.

Brad Mueller claimed fast qualifier honors in Super Six Late Model Series qualifying with a lap of 13.261 seconds.

Brandon Berth of Cascade earned the overall PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier award with a quick lap of 12.608 seconds.

The 10^th event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Mayer Automotive, drew 79 total entries, including 23 B Mods, 21 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 20 Late Models and 15 Grand Nationals.

The A-main winners in each division received additional pay from Judy Deicher in memory of her late husband, Dave Deicher, who was a longtime supporter of racing at The Plymouth Dirt Track as a Winged Super Modified and Sportsman driver, as well as a flagman.

The next PDTR racing program on Saturday, Aug. 17 will include special guest appearances from the Midwest Legends Dirt Series and Street Stock divisions.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 3, 2024 – Youth trumped experience as 14-year-old Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car rookie Joseph Hintz of Burnett edged 60-year-old open-wheel racing veteran and five-time track champion Donny Goeden of Kewaskum to claim his first career 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 3.

Nick Schumacher of Eagle made a rare appearance at The Plymouth Dirt Track well worth it with a wire-to-wire win in the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National main event.

Steve Lorier of Sheboygan notched his first main event triumph of the 2024 campaign in the 25-lap Sheboygan Flooring B Mod A-main.

Nick Petska of Spring Grove, Ill. claimed the victory in the 15-lap 106.5 The Buzz IRA Lightning Sprints main event.

Outside front row starter Justin Erickson of Plymouth outpowered polesitter Hayden Johnson of Campbellsport to grab the lead on the opening lap of the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event.

On lap 2, three-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Donny Goeden rode the outside groove to move into second before vaulting past Erickson into the lead one lap later.

Meanwhile, fifth starter Joseph Hintz engaged in a spirited duel with third starter T.J. Smith of Greenville for the third spot on lap 4. Four laps later, Goeden caught the back of the field and sliced his way through slower traffic.

The first of two race stoppages appeared on lap 11 when Bill Taylor of Boltonville spun in turn three. On the restart, Hintz shot into second along the inside groove and quickly moved in to challenge the high-riding Goeden on the smooth, multi-groove racing surface.

The first-year 360 Sprint Car driver reeled in Goeden on lap 15 to mount a challenge for the top spot. Hintz hit his marks along the inside lane with precision to take over the top spot on lap 17 before impressively extending his lead to a full straightaway on lap 21.

With Hintz comfortably leading the pack, a red flag was displayed when Smith flipped in turn two on the white-flag lap. Hintz maintained the top spot along the low groove on the green-white-checkered flag restart and held off a final charge from Goeden along the cushion to secure his first career PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint A-main victory in just his sixth career 360 Sprint Car start.

Goeden, who began his racing career in the Eastern Wisconsin Stock Winged Super Modified division at Plymouth in 1985, had to settle for second, two-time PDTR and five-time MSA champion Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee placed third after starting seventh, Erickson placed fourth and sixth starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend placed fifth.

With his victory, Hintz became the sixth different driver to claim a win in the nine MSA 360 Sprint Car main events contested during the 2024 campaign.

Nick Schumacher used his pole starting position to seize the lead from the start of the 25-lap Grand National headliner with 2022 PDTR Grand National champion Luke Scholten, who started fourth, sliding into second. On lap 9, Scholten bolted in to briefly challenge Schumacher for the lead on the tacky and smooth track surface.

However, Schumacher maintained the top spot and was building up a solid lead when the lone caution flag of the race appeared on lap 12 after Dustin Weiss of Iron Ridge and 2018 PDTR Grand National champ Tyler Kulow of Plymouth collided in turn four.

On the restart, Schumacher pulled away from Scholten and led the remainder of the event en route to his third career PDTR Grand National A-main victory and his first A-main triumph of the 2024 campaign.

Scholten placed second, Jeff Muehlbauer of Elkhart Lake, who started fifth, placed third, 2023 PDTR Grand National co-champion Will Sorce of Franklin took fourth after starting 11th, and two-time Grand National and six-time Plymouth track champion Brian Gilles of Plymouth charged up from the ninth starting spot to place fifth.

David Paskiewicz of Wind Lake grabbed the lead of the 25-lap B Mod A-main from the pole on the opening lap. On lap 2, third starter Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls took over the second spot and moved into pressure Paskiewicz for the top spot.

A pair of back-to-back caution flags bunched the field on lap 7, which allowed seventh starter Steve Lorier to move in to hound Long for the lead starting on lap 9. However, Long fended off his advances until lap 20 when a slower car boxed in Long along the low groove, while Lorier rode the top of the track to snatch the lead away from Long in turn two on lap 23.

Lorier held on the rest of the way to notch his fifth career and first PDTR B Mod main event of the 2024 season.

Long took second, eighth starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth placed third, 2022 PDTR B Mod champion Andy Welter of Cedarburg finished fourth after starting fifth and Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam bounced back after hitting the turn three wall on lap 7 to place fifth.

The start of the 20-lap IRA Lightning Sprints main event got off to a rough start when polesitter Brian Strane, Jr. of Paris, who came into the event as the series points leader and winner of all five 2024 IRA Lightning Sprints A-main races, hit an infield tire and flipped in turn two on the opening lap.

With Strane Jr. out of the race, Nick Petska moved up from his original third starting spot to the pole position when the race began. Petska then proceeded to open up a full straightaway cushion over Mark Heinert of Waukesha, who started fifth.

The second and final yellow flag appeared on lap two for the spinning car Max Brannam on lap 16 to set up a four-lap dash to the finish following a single-file restart.

Petska proved to be too strong for his challengers to overcome in the closing laps on the way to his first IRA Lightning Sprint A-main triumph of the 2024 campaign.

Heinert placed second, fourth starter Mike Neau of Pleasant Prairie took third, Tim Brannam of Holiday Hills, Ill, who started second, finished fourth and Ron Brannam of Holiday Hills, Ill. tallied a fifth place showing after starting ninth.

Scott Conger of Eagle claimed the overall PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car fast qualifier award with a quick lap of 13.101 seconds.

Mike Neau was the top qualifier in the IRA Lightning Sprints division with a lap of 13.966 seconds.

The ninth event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Pit Stop Pizza, drew 72 total entries, including 25 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 17 B Mods, 15 Grand Nationals and 15 IRA Lightning Sprints.

The program also included a coin and candy drop sponsored by VanDerVart Concrete and a coloring contest featuring prizes donated by Plymouth Dirt Track Racing, Donna Bader and Pedal Down Promotions.

The next PDTR racing program on Saturday, Aug. 10 features the finale of the 2024 106.5 The Buzz Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series with the 2024 champion set to be crowned.

Five-time PDTR Late Model champion Brad Mueller of Random Lake heads into the season-capping race with a four-point cushion over Taylor Scheffler and a 14-point lead over Justin Ritchie of New London.

The PDTR 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals and B Mods will also be in action.

Myers Jr., Sandholm earn initial A-main victories

By Jeff Pederson – Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 27, 2024 – If you were to describe the eighth Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program of the 2024 season on Saturday, July 27 in one word, “ordinary” most certainly wouldn’t be it.

Whether it was a father-son 1-2 finish, inspired runs from the back to the front of the field, a heaping helping of slide jobs, a pair of A-main leaders meeting misfortune in the same race, a father driving his daughter’s car to an A-main win or two  incidents involving hard impacts with the outer wall and fence, action in the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars, PDTR B Mods and the visiting Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car divisions provided Plymouth Dirt Track Racing fans with an abundance of wheel-to-wheel entertainment.

Two-time Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car champion Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee bested a career-best run from his son, Tyler, to capture his first A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track in over three years as the Davis’ achieved a rare 1-2 father-son showing in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event.

After the first two leaders encountered misfortune, Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa, Calif. nailed down a victory in the 30-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car Series main event.

Mike Sandholm of Oconomowoc made his first start in the car normally wheeled by his daughter, Miranda, a memorable one as he led wire-to-wire en route to victory in the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.

In the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, polesitter Bill Taylor of Boltonville raced into the lead on the drop of the green flag as Kurt Davis, who started fourth, jumped to the high groove of the third-mile clay oval to challenge third starter T.J. Smith of Greenville for second.

The first caution of two cautions appeared on lap 3 when Justin Erickson of Plymouth spun in turn two and collected Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill, T.J. Haddy of Waupun and Alex Pokorski of West Bend. All three drivers retreated to the work area before rejoining the race at the rear of the field on the ensuing restart.

Taylor continued to hold down the lead when the race resumed while Kurt Davis stormed into second place along with the cushion on lap 7. Three laps later, the all-time winningest driver in the 25-season history of the Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association powered his way past Taylor to secure the lead on the slick, smooth and multi-groove racing surface.

The second and final caution flag was displayed on lap 13 when Taylor and Brandon Berth of Cascade were involved in an incident in turn two during a four-car duel for second. Both drivers were able to return to the race.

Following the restart, Kurt’s son, Tyler Davis of Franklin, moved up from the sixth starting spot to shoot past Smith into second on lap 14 as ninth starter Robbie Pribnow charged into third along the outside line.

With five laps to go, Kurt Davis caught the rear of the field and had to deal with a swarm of slower cars, which allowed Tyler Davis to reel in his father.

With one lap to go, Tyler pulled to within striking distance his father. However, Kurt Davis proved to be the top Davis family finisher on this occasion as he held on by a car length to capture his first victory in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition since May 8, 2021, as well as his 26^th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main triumph and MSA A-main leading 65^th career A-main win.

In his 39^th season of competition, Kurt Davis’ PDTR 360 Sprint Car win moved him to within seven victories of all-time PDTR A-main victory leader Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh, who currently sits at the top of the heap at The Plymouth Dirt Track with 33 wins.

The win also helped Kurt Davis to stretch his lead at the top of the MSA 360 Sprint Car all-time A-main victory list to 13 over current runner-up Danny Schlafer of Sussex, who has 52 MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main victories to his credit. It was Davis’ first MSA win since May 15, 2022 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.

“I’ve been going through the year doubting myself – am I too old, did I lose some stuff?” Kurt Davis said. “I may be a little bit more out of shape. I may have lost a bit of timing, but this one’s for the old guys. As for running the number 39 this year, we lost Cole Possi last year. The Possi family have been great friends to me. I’m glad I could at least pay them back for all their years of friendship and support with a victory.”

Tyler Davis claimed a career-best second place showing, Pribnow placed third, Smith wound up fourth and Chris Clayton of Waldo mounted an inspired run from the 20^th starting spot to secure a fifth place showing in his first appearance of the 2024 season in PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car competition.

The 30-lap IRA A-main proved to overflow with action in various ways. Polesitter and early race leader Danny Schlafer of Sussex took the lead at the start before the red flag appeared when Mike Reinke of Howards Grove made hard contact with the turn four wall and flipped on lap 3.

Schlafer controlled the restart and hit lapped traffic on lap 9 as second starter Jake Neuman of New Berlin, Ill., two-time IRA champion Jake Blackhurst of Hanna City, Ill., who started fourth, fifth starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. and Joel Myers Jr. who started eighth, waged an epic slide job-laden battle for third.

After leading the first 11 laps of the event, Schlafer made contact with a lapped car on lap 12, which launched his No. 25 car on a series of flips into the turn one fence.

With Schlafer out of the race, second starter Jake Neumann of New Berlin, Ill. assumed the top spot until his 3N machine rolled to a stop in turn three on lap 20 to become the second race leader to drop out of the event over the span of eight laps.

Blackhurst inherited the lead with Myers Jr. and Max Guilford of Aukland, New Zealand, who started 11^th, lurking close behind. The fourth and final stoppage of the race occurred with five laps to go when Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc spun.

The closing laps saw Blackhurst, Myers Jr. and Nimee relentlessly duel for the top spot as the trio reeled off slide job after slide job. Myers Jr. eventually swept into the lead along the high line. At the same time, Nimee ducked under Blackhurst utilizing the low groove as the trio raced three-wide coming out of turn four on lap 27.

Myers Jr. surged ahead of Nimee for good on lap 28 with Guilford charging back into the top three as the checkered flag flew to cap the action-packed race with Myers Jr. collecting his first career IRA A-main triumph.

Nimee finished second, Guilford wound up third, two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls charged up 16 spots from the 20^th starting position to place fourth and Blackhurst finished fifth.

Filling in for his daughter, Miranda, Mike Sandholm grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.

Sandholm held down a solid cushion over Brad Buckman of Kiel before the first of three caution flags appeared on lap 7 when Scott Quarnstrom of Lake Villa, Ill. spun in turn four.

Sandholm maintained the top spot on the restart as fifth starter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville slipped into second place on lap 8 with Hunter Larson of Oshkosh, who started seventh taking over third.

The second caution flag appeared on lap 9 for a six-car incident in turn two. After fending off Larson’s challenge for second, Knepprath set his focus on tracking down Sandholm.

As the leaders hit slower traffic, Knepprath remained highly determined as he remained within striking distance when the third and final caution period occurred on lap 19. When the race resumed Knepprath stayed glued to Sandholm’s bumper and stayed there straight through to the finish.

However, Sandholm proved to have just enough to claim his first career PDTR B Mod main event victory. Knepprath finished a career-best second, Larson wound up third, 11^th starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth charged up from the 11^th starting spot to finish fourth and Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam, advanced from the 12^th starting position to place fifth.

Jake Blackhurst was the top qualifier in the IRA 410 Sprint Car ranks with a lap of    11.882 seconds.

Clayton Rossmann claimed fast qualifier honors in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a time 13.365 of seconds.

The eighth event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Hopf Farms, featured 72 total entries, including 28 IRA 410 Sprint Cars, 23 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and 21 B Mods.

The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program on Saturday, Aug. 3 will feature the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals, B Mods, IRA Lightning Sprints and the High School Racing Association.

The program will also include the VanDerVart Concrete Coin and Candy Drop, along with a coloring contest, which will feature prizes for the winners.

Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.
