After snapping top-10 streak, Pokorski Motorsports focuses on doubleheader weekend
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 12, 2018 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team came into Plymouth Dirt Track Racing (PDTR) Sprint Car competition at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 9 riding the wave of three consecutive top-10 A-main showings.
However, the evening proved to be an uphill battle, which resulted in Pokorski racking up a 13th-place showing in the PDTR Sprint Car A main to finish outside of the top 10 for the first time in Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) A-main action this season.
After starting sixth in the first Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski crossed the finish line fifth, which relegated him to the B main, where he rolled off fifth. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion ran a steady race to finish fourth in the B Main and earn one of the six available transfer spots to the Sprint Car A main.
Pokorski began the 30-lap Sprint Car A main from the 20th starting spot and gradually worked his way up through the field utilizing the outside groove of the third-mile clay oval.
Aided by a pair of caution periods, Pokorski managed to gain seven spots over the course of the event to record a 13th-place finish in a race won by Kevin Karnitz.
“The track was a little heavier than normal and we struggled a bit,” Pokorski said. “We have some work to do this week to try and find some solutions.”
Pokorski Motorsports is gearing up for a doubleheader weekend of action starting with a special Friday night event at The Plymouth Dirt Track featuring the Russ Scheffler Tribute Race for the PDTR Late Model division on Friday, June 15.
Pit gates are set to open at 4 p.m. with grandstands opening at 5:30 p.m. and racing slated to begin one hour later than normal at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, June 16, the Pokorski Motorsports team is slated to make its first appearance at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, Wis. for a special Midwest Sprint Car Association event. Hot laps are scheduled to start at 5 p.m. with racing to begin at 6 p.m.
“I’m looking forward to TNT,” Pokorski said. “Hopefully it will be wide and racey. Two nights of racing, as long as things go well, is always fun.”
