Alex Pokorski scores top five Plymouth-MSA run, Fair Night race on tap

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2024 – With the final laps of the 2024 season in sight, Alex Pokorski and the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team crew strung together a strong top five A-main showing in a 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event Friday, Aug. 23 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

The West Bend, Wis. competitor opened the night by qualifying eighth in the 29-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Association field.

After starting second in the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski came home third to earn a berth in the 25-lap headliner.

The 2023 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Most Improved Award winner fired off from the outside front row starting spot in the 25-lap main event and fell back to fourth in the early going before being cycled back to fifth near the halfway point of the event.

Following a red flag and two yellow flags, Pokorski utilized the third and final caution flag restart to bolt past T.J. Smith into fourth on lap 20. Pokorski maintained the fourth spot the rest of the way in a race won by Scotty Thiel.

“We had a fuel leak issue in qualifying, which we fixed for the heat race,” Pokorski said. “Following the heat race, we tuned up the fuel some more for the feature to get it right, along with some other adjustments to the car. The track was very nice again, which made for good racing. We lost a spot on the first two restarts by being in the wrong lane. We then got one spot back on the final restart when we started in the preferred lane. It was a solid night, just not what we needed to close up points on the guys ahead of us in the point standings.”

With two races remaining in the 2024 PDTR 360 Sprint Car season, Pokorski stands second, 34 points behind point leader Ben Schmidt in the chase for the season points title.

Pokorski also sits third in the MSA 360 Sprint Car point standings, 34 points behind second-place Brandon Berth and 85 behind point leader Ben Schmidt with three races left in the 2024 MSA campaign.

The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete in an Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, during the 2024 Sheboygan County Fair at Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31.

On-track action is scheduled to commence at 5 p.m.

The event will be available to view via live stream at floracing.com.
