(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2022 – With the national touring Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint Car Series making its annual visit to The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team experienced an up-and-down type of night in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car division on Saturday, May 21.
With a solid showing of 31 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars signed in for the all-Sprint Car two-division program, Pokorski turned in the 17th-fastest lap in PDTR 360 Sprint Car group qualifying to earn the sixth starting spot in the third 10-lap heat race.
The third-year 360 Sprint Car competitor got the jump on fifth starter Katelyn Krebsbach to seize fifth place in turn one of the opening lap. Pokorski maintained the fifth spot throughout the remaining of the race on a fast and narrow racing surface.
After advancing one position in his heat race, Pokorski collected enough passing points to transfer directly into the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main, where he rolled off from the 16th starting position.
With the inside lane serving as the preferred line, Pokorksi stayed low throughout the majority of the race as he moved up to 15th following a caution on lap 15. On the ensuing restart, Pokorski fell back to 18th in the running order after starting on the outside of the eighth row.
Pokorski regrouped to pull off a last-lap pass of Anthony Knierim to secure 17th at the finish of the race, which was won by Justin Erickson.
“The car felt really good for the heat race and I was happy to make the A-main directly out of the heat race,” Pokorski said. “The car was a bit of a handful in the A main. The track was also very one-lane around the bottom, so it was difficult to gain spots. I had moved up a few spots and then lost a couple spots restarting on the outside. I think we have a better sense of how to set up this car now, so hopefully we can be faster moving forward.”
Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team will return to action with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars this Saturday, May 28 on Military Night with all members of the U.S. Military gaining free admission with valid identification.
Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with PDTR 360 Sprint Car hot laps/group qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.
