Austin Hartmann aims for IRA Labor Day weekend doubleheader bounce back

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 30, 2023 – After being involved in one of the most violent-looking accidents of the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season last Friday, Aug. 25 at 34 Raceway, Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing team have worked diligently in recent days to prepare the team’s backup car for the traditional IRA Labor Day weekend doubleheader at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 1 and The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. during the Sheboygan County Fair on Saturday, Sept. 2.

With 32 IRA Sprint Cars signed in for the second IRA program of the 2023 season at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on Friday, Aug. 25, Hartmann opened the night on a strong note by recording the sixth fastest overall qualifying lap with a time of 13.183 seconds.

After starting third in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann got out of shape along the cushion and flipped near the turn three wall before his 87A car caught fire. Hartmann was uninjured in the incident. However, the accident resulted in significant damage to the 87A Hartmann Racing team’s primary car and ended Hartmann's night early.

The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series was scheduled to compete with support from the Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) 410 Sprint Cars at Federated Auto Parts Speedway in Pevely, Mo. on Saturday, Aug. 26. However, heavy rain forced the event to be cancelled.

Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team have scrambled over the past several days to put together the team’s backup car for IRA competition this weekend, while the damaged primary car has been sent to Maxim Racing for a new front clip.

"I want to thank the IRA and 34 Raceway safety crew on the scene, as well as the Neuman family for the hospitality, tearing the car apart and delivering the car to Maxim for us," Hartmann said. "I also want to thank Eric Bergschultz for his hard work and devotion to the team."

The weekend kicks off with the annual IRA Harry Neitzel Tribute event on Friday, Sept. 1 at the horsepower half-mile Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis.

Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with warm-ups at 6 p.m. and hot laps and qualifying to follow before opening ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m.

The Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and A Modifieds will also be on the card.

On Saturday, Sept. 2, the Plymouth, Wis.-based 87A Hartmann Racing team will return home to The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. for the annual all-Sprint Car event during the Sheboygan County Fair, featuring the Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Cars and Akright Auto MSA 360 Sprint Cars.

On-track action is slated to begin at 5 p.m.

All IRA events during the 2023 season are streamed live on FloRacing.
