Alex Pokorski plans full 2024 MSA slate, select 410 Sprint Car starts

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 10, 2024 – Coming off of a breakthrough 2023 Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car season, the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is gearing up to contest the full MSA schedule, while mixing in a handful of 410 Sprint Car events during the upcoming 2024 campaign.

The 2023 season saw Pokorski entrench himself as a top contender in the MSA and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car ranks in his fourth overall and second full-time season in the Sprint Car ranks.

Following a 2022 campaign that yielded a mixed bag of results, as well as a 15th place showing in the final MSA point standings and a 14th place finish in the PDTR points race, Pokorski took a big leap forward throughout the 2023 campaign displaying both speed and consistency in the seat of the Spyder Akright-owned Akright Auto Racing Team No. 4 360 Sprint Car.

Along with capturing his first career MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main victory at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, June 2, Pokorski tallied a total of 12 top-five, 21 top-10 and 23 top-15 A-main showings in 24 MSA events during his 2023 campaign. In addition, Pokorski collected four heat race victories and two fast qualifier awards in MSA 360 Sprint Car action.

After advancing from 14th in 2022 to fourth in the 2023 PDTR 360 Sprint Car point standings and moving up from 15th to fourth in the final 2023 MSA 360 Sprint Car Series points race, Pokorski secured the 2023 Most Improved Driver Award in both PDTR and MSA competition.

In addition to another full season of MSA 360 Sprint Car action, Pokorski will dip his toes into the 410 Sprint Car waters by running 4-5 events in 2024.

The Akright Auto Racing Team’s first event of the 2024 season will mark Pokorski’s first career 410 Sprint Car start with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Series at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 20.

On Saturday, April 27, Pokorski will launch the 24-race 2024 MSA-PDTR campaign at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

“The off-season has been a lot of work getting two cars together [360 and 410 Sprint Car], but we have been fortunate to have plenty of help,” Pokorski said. “We are planning to run the full MSA schedule as well as 4-to-5 IRA shows.

“My goals for the 2024 season are to improve on what we did last year, win a couple more races and get some experience in the 410,” he said.

In addition, Pokorski’s father, Paul, who wrapped up his stellar career as a regular full-time competitor at the conclusion of the 2021 season, is expected to make selected starts in the seat of Spyder Akright’s 53A PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car in 2024.

The 32-year veteran competed in 11 PDTR-MSA events during the 2023 campaign, posting one top-five, four top-10 and six top-15 A-main finishes to go along with one B main victory.

The highlight of Paul’s 2023 season was a third-place podium A-main finish at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Aug. 12. With Paul sharing driving duties with Spyder Akright, the 53A Akright Auto car finished 14th in the 2023 PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car point standings while competing in all 17 PDTR and 21 of 24 MSA events in 2023.
