Arenz takes first run at LaSalle, ramps up for three-race IRA weekend

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2025 – After competing in just three Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series races over the span of the past seven weeks, Travis Arenz and his crew got back on track with their first appearance at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., on Saturday, Aug. 23.

Arenz opened the night by qualifying 18th overall in the 36-car field with a lap of 11.660 seconds.

After placing sixth in the second IRA heat race, the 2020 and 2021 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion rolled off third and advanced one spot to place second in the 12-lap B main and move on to the evening’s main event.

The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver started 21st in the 30-lap main event and worked his way up to as high as 12th before tallying a 20th place showing.

"LaSalle is a cool facility," Arenz said. "I have never raced there before, so I’m glad we got to experience it, but the night's results were less than favorable. I made contact with the wall after losing tack coming out of the turn during the closing laps of the feature, which resulted in making contact with another driver. It was a driving error on my part. I always want to race clean and respectfully. With the wreck this past weekend, there is a lot of work to prepare for this weekend. We will get everything back together and be ready. I hope to turn good clean laps all weekend. I'm also hoping to get a little redemption at Beaver Dam while we still can!"

The Travis Arenz Motorsports Team is set to enter a big tripleheader weekend of IRA action starting at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., for the annual Sheboygan County Fair race on Friday, Aug. 29.

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

One night later, Arenz joins the IRA for the Harry Neitzel Tribute and Jim Wipperfurth Memorial, billed as the last-ever Sprint Car race at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., on Saturday, Aug. 30.

Spectator gates are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. with racing starting at 6 p.m.

The weekend closes with an appearance at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., with the IRA 410 Sprint Car Series.

Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
